Dimitris, I hope it is ok to start this "topic" and could you make it a "Sticky please?
This is a Photograph A to Z of our ( the forum members) holiday memories. There are no rules to this except people post one photo at a time with the next letter in the alphabet. This could be a placename, taverna, natural feature, animal etc etc - use your imagination. I wonder how many times we can go through the alphabet?
So here is the first one
A for Armourada
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/Armourada.jpg)
-
how do you add a photo here Terry?
-
Try the details I did yesterday Sue ..........
http://www.arillas.com/page/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,165/topic,2302.msg23026
This should work but if it doesn't try Viv's method, or try Viv's method first
I will try to do a video/screenshot guide.
Terry

B has got to be the one and only Brouklis

C must be Captains - Sue have you got any pictures??
-
I dont think Sue has worked out how to post a piccie yet! Come on Sue you can do it, we have faith ;-) !
-
No im not sure Sue has either. I wont be posting any pictures as i havent a clue. I might come up with some suggestions but thats about it!! ;)

I love that Photo Eileen. Was it taken from your villa?
Terry
-
That is a gorgeous picture, could make that in to a postcard!
-
Hi Terry & Smiffy,
It was taken up at Sandy and Joyce's house which is not too far from us. Their house has a million dollar view don't you think?
I'm not too good with all the techie stuff but it seems that my photo has lost some of it's definition when I downsized it.
Eileenxx
-
Oh I like that photo.
I dont think I can do it quick enough, I have an "F"....so I will try now.
-
Just gone into filehigh Terry, just waiting for an activation email.. thats the easy part. now go to try and do the rest!
-
You can do it Sue!!!!
Activation usually takes seconds but it doesn't like hotmail addresses,
-
It doesnt like mine, its taking ages. Also I cant remember what I have to do from there. I will get back to you if I get stuck.
-
I am getting a bit fed up now with waiting for the filehigh thing. Anyone else have an idea how I can add a photo please.
-
I registered about half an hour ago and my activation email came straight through within seconds.
-
I wonder if I should do it again
-
Sue
Go To www.filehigh.com
login as arillasforum password = corfu
I set this up to have a practice on. Because you are using filehigh as a storage area purely for this forum you needn't worry about confidentiality. All the photos you store will be published on the forum. It is really just a remote storage area for forum photographs.
Lots of users could use it.
-
I finally managed to work it out..but I didn't do it on my own...my 34 year old son came to the rescue after seeing my plight and has conquered filehigh...here is the frog!
http://www.filehigh.com/viewimg.php?f=41823&i=475542
...now I have to do this on my own when he isn't here!!!!..thanks terry..p.s. if this doesn't work i'm going to print the photo out and stick it to the screen!
-
...Sue it looks like froggie went a courtin'........
Eileenxxx
-
Hi eileen..can you see the frog on that reply note then? Oh please say yes!!!!
-
nooooo....I'm sorry to say but froggie isn't there :-(
Keep trying....we are all looking forward to our 'F' photo.
Eileen
-
Sorry, but its the best we can do... you have to click on the link... My son reckons we should try photo bucket... my photos are too big I think.
The frogs hopped it! It was taken on the apartment door at the Bardis
-
Hiya Sue...I can see the cute wee frog now...I bet you gave him a name too?!!
This is a reply on uploading pics that I gave on another thread. If you can be bothered (I know what it's like to get frustrated with this stuff!) you could maybe give it a try...I know that Benita managed it and was fair chuffed with herself :-)
"O.K this is how I did it, but maybe others will have other methods....
* Go to http://www.imageshack.us/
* Click on the browse tab and select your pic from file
* Type in your email address
* Use the drop-down menu to re-size your image according to where you are posting it.
* Then click host it
* A few seconds later another page will appear on the screen, scroll down it until you come down to the box titled 'Direct Link to Image'. Copy and paste the text in the box
* Now onto the Arillas Forum.
* When in the Post reply text box go up to the icons which run along the top of the box and choose the Insert Image icon. The icon is like a little picture.(it is next to the one that looks like a spinning (wheel)
* This text will appear (img) (/img) Between the two sets of brackets insert the code which you copied and pasted from the Imageshack page.
There you go, that's the best explanation I can do, give it a try...good luck smiley

Eileenxx
-
Smiffy - I am disappointed in you, I was expecting some photos from you ...... come on ....get em up.
Blondegirl, Could the lady in the Journey home pic, be the mystery lady from the beach with clothes on. She could be carrying supplies for the donut man.
I think some photographs can invoke a kind of story in your head. Maybe we could have a weekly "add a caption" post. Someone posts a photo and we have a week to add captions, then at the end of each week Dimitris could pick a winner. It all helps to fend off severe Arillusitis.
Terry

Yes c'mon Smiffers lets be having you!!!

If I can figure it out Eggy, then I'm sure you will. Follow Eileens instructions. (Mind you, It did take a couple of attempts)

Eileens suggestion of Imageshack works really well. Have you tried that one Neil?
-
Just back from camping in Wales, this thread seems to have taken off well! Nice one Terry. I have just had a look at the Imageshack website but will have to suss it out properly later. I use Fotopic and post links to pictures on there.
http://www.fotopic.net/
Thing is, I cant find a picture of anything that starts with an X,Y or Z from all of the photos I took while I was there! When's your X coming up Eggy and Viv and Blondegirl's Z's?
Yammas (clue!) for now,
Neil.
-
I haven't had time to post anything over the weekend but I know that from doing this before certain letters like x,y q and z can be difficult.
The following web sites give lots of words and many can be tailored to describe a photograph eg:- xylopolist ...... one who sells wood - could be used for olive wood.
Try it, it does help, and you can show off with a vast vocabulary.

Thanks Terry - the Cicada photo took many many attempts lol
hehe no no Umpiring skills here - I was displaying the width of the track while we were debating trying to get the car along it :P
We didn't haha

Thanks for the Cicada piccie Lozicle...I never knew what they looked like. What size are they?
Eileenxx
-
What is a cicada exactly? It looks disgusting!
-
I dont really know what I am doing... but I have been using Imageshack... and it has a resizing area.. I use the message board and tick that, or you can use the thumbnail for small things., it's all trial and a lot of errors!
-
Hi pg32
Cicada's are the insects that make this sound.
-
A cicada is an insect of the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha, in the superfamily Cicadoidea, with large eyes wide apart on the head and usually transparent, well-veined wings. There are approximately 2,500 species of cicada around the globe, and many remain unclassified. Cicadas live in temperate to tropical climates where they are one of the most widely recognized of all insects, mainly due to their large size and remarkable (and often inescapable) acoustic talents.
Cicadas do not bite or sting, are benign to humans, and are not considered a pest. Many people around the world regularly complement their standard diet with cicadas: the female is prized for eating as it is meatier. Cicadas have been eaten (or are still eaten) in Ancient Greece, China, Malaysia, Burma, Australia, Latin America and the Congo.
So there ya go !
That particular one was about 2 - 3 inches long. Ugly little bugger too.
By all means Terry, you're very welcome to use the image :)
-
2-3 inches long...yeuch. Despite the deafening noise they make, which seems to reach a crescendo in the early evening, I've yet to see one. I'm going to keep my peepers open now that I know what they actually look like.
...but I defo wont' be munching on one!
Eileenx
-
Me neither, just looking at it made me itch haha!!
-
ooohhh, my skins all crawly. we were looking for them walking down to the centre, like eileen says they are really loud, but 2-3 inches long!! imagine if i was poking around in a bush trying to find one and it leapt on me, you would hear my screams in san stefanos! hehe.
-
I think Cicada Crunch with Olives sounds like a lovely starter. How about trying it Dimitris as the Brouklis Bush Tucker special? I'd try it.....honest

D for Dancers - at the Horizon on 5th July 2007

Thanks Lozicle for that indepth answer!!
I hate insects etc so it was good to know that they dont bite etc!! I know i know i am a big wuss!!
-
I remember them well Terry.. mainly because the young guy had very shapely legs! ;) I was so glad I wasnt asked to dance on the table with him, as if!!! There wasnt room for both of us LOL
Out photos are not so clear as that.
-
The dancing was so funny. In one dance you had to put your hand between your legs so the person behind you could hold it and you had to hold the persons hand in front of you and then walk in a line.
The next day after doing this we were doing the San Stefanos walk and met a couple and I realised that the bloke was the person in front of me doing the dancing and his partner was the girl behind me. We exchanged hello's and I said to the bloke " do you realise that your partner had her hands between my legs last night, and I had my hands between yours". They were a lovely couple and we had a good laugh about it.
mazzz - if you read this post ........ we did swing a bit whilst doing the "holding the hands between the legs walk!!!!!!!

F - Football pitch at Kavadaddes - Anyone spot Noufri from Brouklis?
(http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/5479/s3010399jc5.jpg)
-
Is he the one "waiting" on the half way line?
What surface is it Eggy?It looks like snow.
Is there a local league?
Terry
-
Terry
Noufris is the middle right of the picture in green. Just after we took this he fowled an opponent, well away from the ball, and when the ref wasn't looking. They carried the guy off. After the match he told us the chap kept pulling his shirt.
So moral of story is " When at Brouklis do not do this to attract his attention "
The pitch is what they call a Division 3 pitch. Like a very fine grit which, I'm told hurts, when you hit the ground. ( Div 1 play on astroturf - not sure on Div 2 )
Note the spectators. This maybe a Greek way of "Crowd Control"
( 1 supporter per team - and they're probably cousins ! )
In honesty they did have a lot of support.

Hi Eggy, we're going to be in Arillas from the 14th of Sept, do you know if there'll be any football matches on in Kavadades ?
-
Blondegirl
The photo at the Galini is interesting because the couple on the left, sitting at the table, were at Brouklis when we had our first meal there on the second day of our holiday. They were from Yorkshire and we had a lovely chat to them. It was them who pointed you out as "blondegirl" from the forum.
On my photo, which was taken at Brouklis, I have just realised that you can see Dimitris just over my right shoulder.
TerryW
-
Very nice pictures for " G " they are too.
Paul
I'll ask Noufris what's planned for Septembr.
Negg
-
Thats right, thats Peter and Evie from Leeds I think they come from. They are such a lovely couple. I hit it off with Evie straight away and we had such a laugh last year at the Galini in the swimming pool and it was great to meet up with them again this year. I think thats what made the holiday even better this year was meeting up again. You always meet some very nice people in Arillas.
I remember we first met you at the Brouklis when we were looking at Demitris and Litsas wedding album.
-
Thanks Eggy, I'll be in so much trouble if I go, but what's a man supposed to do ??!
-
We went to a "friendly" game in Crete one year. Some friends were playing at midnight and obviously floodlit, they had all finished work and it was much cooler to play then. It was quite enjoyable sitting outside at nice cafe tables with a drink chatting when the men were glued to the game. Another happy experience to remember.

S = Sunset

That seemed like a proper sunset when i looked at that picture, very bright!! Lovely photo :-) !
-
pappa and Baldy Barry..... I hope you don't mind me pointing this out, but the idea of this topic is to find a photo from the next letter of the alphabet. So the next photo should begin with a "H"
pappa could have cheated and described the sunset ( on which, by the way, the colours are amazing) as "heavenly sunset" or "have you ever seen a better sunset"
-
terry glad you pointed that out, it's all part of it, seeing the next photo in sequence. love this topic x

H for "Had Enough" I was so full that I couldn't finish Mary's delicious homemade cheesecake at the Horizon. This was our last evening meal of the holiday and I was so full after two weeks of eating too much. But oh so satisfying.

L for Looking out the back ( Looking out from the back of the Horizon)

These pics I'm seeing are great. - Who's idea was this?
" L " - Is also for lizard.
This little tinker was staring at me , just now, when I opened the door. Only a baby, about 2 inches long.
I think we found his mother the other day. Hidden in a gardening shoe, well ,except for about 9" of tail poking out from it.

Pecked Hen! I remember seeing her with a very old lady under those steps when we walked to Afionas They all seem to wear those opened out scarves dont they.

Somebody must have an "O" somewhere!

O for Olive Trees on Road to Arillas - I love that stretch of road.

O - More Olive Trees and Nets - I couldn't wait for the letter O to come around again, I think my Olive tree fetish is getting worse.

Lovely picture Kes!

Thanks Shuey ..only wish I was sat there now instead of looking through the office window at the rain pelting down...never mind only 28 days to go
-
I found that photo really interesting kes, because I took this one in July - looks like someone has a real talent for garden design. When was yours taken?
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/thalassa1582x484.jpg)

Terry...mine was taken a couple of years ago I think.. I have taken that many photos of Arillas over the last few years that my son always aks me why i take my camera..as I keep taking the same photos
-
We found that when we went to Sidari many years ago. We used to take photos of the Canal D'Amour rock formations every year - god knows why!

Pecked Hen! I remember seeing her with a very old lady under those steps when we walked to Afionas They all seem to wear those opened out scarves dont they.
She didn't speak English but was quite happy for me to take photo's of her when I mimed my intention.
Yes, the scarves are strange. Did you see the lady on the Rick Stein programme last night with two of them on her head? One appeared to be just balanced on top of the other!
-
Sorry - Missed the Patio.
I really must keep up.

I think we had the 'Z' earlier with the lovely butterfly photo from Peckedhen, so its back to 'A' again.

Ah Yiota. I speak very poor English,as you know Sandy, even poorer after Retsina is "Pour-ed". Gotta wait for the Y & Z for next time now.

Hi Everyone - am really enjoying this A to Z photograph theme. There have been some wonderful pictures - and many of them have brought back splendid memories.
Thought I'd try for the C slot this time with COCKTAILS - its Marino at the Horizon doing his thing making a couple of strawberry mahitos for Julia and I on our wedding aniversary on 14th June 2007.
All the best

Hi One and All. Its me again, now I've got the hang of inserting a photograph I'd like to do D, so here are the Greek traditional DANCERS at the Horizon in June 2007 - very good they were too, especially when they did their fire dance.
Regards Pat

Hi Marika
There are some interesting photographs in your last posts. It looks like the Panorama view was from the Horizon, probably room 202, and how did you take the aerial view of Afionas, its very good. We need one of Arillas like that.
Terry

Am still enjoying this photo theme - there have been some wonderful pics so far.
I think we are up to B so it must be time for another butterfly - I think this one is a swallowtail which I spotted on the nudee beach on 21st June 2007.

Hi Terry!
:-) Yes it is the Panorama view from the Horizon!
From the appartment under the roof!
I have another nice Panorama picture from the Horizon, from the front!
I will post it!
The picture from Afionas I maked from the plane in Mai! On the way to Corfu!
I have some more, but no one from Arillas :-( In that moment Arillas was under me!
Maybe I can make one next month. Than I will sit on the left side of the plane! I try :-)

Hi there - Terry thinks we are on D for donuts - well I havn't got a picture of the Donut Man, although we did spot him one day on the beach.
Instead what about D for Drying the Towels - Picture taken on our balcony at the Horizon.
Just for fun can you guess the room number?

Hi PJ!
Hmmm! It is the appartment downstairs. If you stay in front of the hotel the middle one! But I dont know the number!

If I remember correctly it is rather unsurprisingly called the Panorama. We have occasionally stopped off for coffees, it's a handy half way point if meeting up with someone for Corfu town!
Eileen.
P.S I just love these unusual photos that are appearing these days.
-
Thanks Eileen. I can now post a photo when we get to P.

Hi everyone - since no one has done an I, Terry will never get to P, so thought this one might do for the letter I.
I bought my new trunks from Ina's minimarket next to the Horizon, and here I am trying them out for the first time.

Terry - Very good panoramic picture
Very interesting photos all round.
PatrickJohn - Lovely picture of "G" ( Horizon ) but concerned about the "I"
The last time I had a picture taken of me, in speedos, I jokingly remarked taking a career as a male model. The reply was " Don't give up yer day job "
( That is a piece of plant sneaking it's way behind your legs is is not ?)
I wonder how Big Gus is. I think he went backto America. Not sure.
Hopefully If I can time it right I'll get my poor contribution in for a "Z" soon.

Hello again
Glad you liked the Early Morning shot at the Horizon, Eggy. It was the reflections in the pool that made it for me. Sorry the Speedos from Ina's Minimarket were not quite to your taste. Perhaps I'm not cut out for the male modelling either - they don't seem to go for the mature male, do they?
By the way, the sneeky plant, I was told, was called something like 'Countess Sarah', but couldn't find anyone who could tell me if it was a variety of hibiscus or something else. It was certainly very beatiful - so perhaps the title of my photo should have been beauty and the beast!
Marika keeps coming up with some good ones - I always wondered why the bench was behind the bush - there must be a good reason - its obviously not for the view.
Now we just need an M to keep the pot boiling and to move on towards Z for Eggy.
Best wishes

Hi Alan,
Quite a few of us have had the same problem, but I sussed out a way for myself (now I can assure you that was very clever coming from non-techie me!) and I posted the following instructions in an earlier post:
O.K this is how I did it, but maybe others will have other methods....
* Go to http://www.imageshack.us/
* Click on the browse tab and select your pic from file
* Type in your email address

U is for URN - a Grecian Urn.
This one is outside the Marina, near the jetty and had some pretty flowers in it in June 2007.
Alan - hope you get on well with the Eileen's advice. I've managed to get filehigh working fortunately, but it is a bit fiddly. Good luck.

Too much information!!!!

I know I thought that after I wrote it, but not saying nickers just means I go on Nudey beach.
-
Terry, Is that thing outside the church where saint spiros is kept? I think it might be for prayers. (You know, when you put candles to pray for someone?)

Hi Maggie
I am not sure which church it was but it was at the end of one of the narrow streets with shops.

Hi everyone
It must be time for A again.
This time its A for ALBANIA.
(Eggy please avert your eyes because there are Speedos in this one again).
Yes I know its me in my snorkel gear on the beach at Saint Spiridon, but if you look closely the background mountains are in Albania.
(http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/patjmcn/File0023PJMStSpiridonBeachCorfu.jpg)
This pic was taken in 2004 and I'd just swum out to the little island with the flag on it. When I got back to the beach my dear wife was asleep and had missed my heroic efforts - she did say she would take a photograph though and you see the result.
Best wishes to all the splendid contributors to this thread and especially to Terry who started it.

Lovely picture Terry - am i right in thinking there are several buildings like that leading up from where McDonalds is.
-
Yes, Shuey, there are quite a few buildings like that. Isn't the architecture wonderful and the rustic colours add to the attraction. I wonder if there any hotels like that as it would be lovely to stay in one for a night.
I was actually thinking of doing that next July, drive to Corfu Town, see the night life, stay the night and then drive to the south of the island.
Terry
-
D for Drainpipe ...... Another Building, but the curved wall is wonderful and the guttering seems to be a mixture of plastic and metal....I wish I was there now, but instead I am off to Morrisons during my lunch break, such is life!

Great photos terry and what a good idea to stay overnight. We are going back in Sept just for a week, but hopefully next year will stay for fortnight and will try that. We are hoping to go in July next year, what dates have you booked for?
-
I do quite like the idea of staying in Corfu town for a night, especially if we are going to travel to South Corfu. We could possibly stay a second night on the way back, it depends on cost.
We have booked from 30th June to 14th July Sharon.

However, after a good rain the visibility is PERFECT which allows us to create very good photos especialy the sunsets are so much better.!

Wonderful photos Dimitris... When it rains in Arillas its so much better than the UK! At least it dries quickly and its not permanently grey. :(
-
Nice photographs Dimitris. Its interesting to see the sunset over the sea instead of over the distant head land. Was the sunset photo taken recently?

What a nice sunset image Dimitris, it reminds us of when we went to Kos in June :-)

No Shuey, I cheat. Because I take the photos on maximum resolution, I can zoom in on areas and copy them as new pictures. It can be quite effective sometimes.
I am running out of photographs now and I am waiting to see some from the people who are returning soon.
-
Very clever though!! I would not have a clue. ;)

Awww......everybody has given up. Lets hope the people who are in Arillas now, bring some nice pics back with them.

Terry, could you tell me where the restaurant is with the Y for Yellow Menu? Looks like a stunning view.

Eileen - do we really need to see the nappies? That may be taking things just a bit too far....
-
Fiona, its the Paradise Taverna and you will have passed it on your way to Arillas from the Airport. Its on a hairpin bend as you climb up towards the Troumpeta Pass. The views really are stunning. I would only stop there for a drink though.

Hi all you Photographers of Arillas. Have just received the following email from FileHigh:- It is with regret that I am writing to inform you that FileHigh.com is closing down. Unfortunately, we are in a position where it is no longer viable to continue offering our hosting services.
In order to minimize the disruption to you, and to allow you reasonable time to make alternative hosting arrangements, we shall continue to host the images currently in your account until 22nd September 2007.
As part of our shutdown process, inactive (i.e. not recently accessed) files have already been removed from some accounts. If you find that there are images missing from your account for which you do not have copies, please email admin@filehigh.com and we shall attempt to retrieve these files from our offsite backup.
Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may cause to you.

FileHigh.com
From:FileHigh Admin <admin@filehigh.com>
It looks like our pics on this site will disappear if we use filehigh - any suggestions as to what to do next would be welcome.

I have been looking in to this problem over the weekend.
Basically you just need to transfer the photos to another "hosting" web site and then edit the relative tag for each photograph posted.
The only problem is with trying to find a "hosting" web site, that will not disappear in the future. The hosting websites have to be funded some how and it is usually from advertisements, popups, etc. and if the funds are not available the site has to be closed down.
I already use Imageshack and Photobucket and it is very easy to go over the storage limit.
I am going to dual source my photos so that each photograph is stored on two different hosting sites, so that if one does go bump, it will be easy to edit the links and I will not have to re-upload my pictures.
The link below contains a list hosting web sites.

Hi Terry
Many thanks for the swift reply.

I like those photos you mentioned. I noticed there is one of the "ruin" for sale in Arillas a couple of years ago - just down the road from the Captains. It's been like that for the last 15 years, but sometimes someone goes and puts a strimmer all round to spruce the place up a bit. I think the whole structure would need to be pulled down - but maybe someone will come along one day and snap it up. Never found out how much they wanted for it.....
Also one of the sunset and Gravia.

I like the wine photo EEG, very artistic, and it has sent me off on a day dream again.
I wish we had the technology of Star Trek and we could just say "beam me up Eggy" and in a few seconds we were in Arillas. See the dreams are quite good. Oh Sh** there's a Klingon sitting in Brouklis.
-
And couple of Romulans in the Coconut ;) I sure would appreciate the technology.
-
Dont even go there! I thought I had left Star Trek back in the UK!!
We were sitting by the pool at the Bardis, then I heard the dreaded music " dah dah, dah dah dah, dah dah....." I knew what Mike was watching... he had "borrowed" the remote from Bobby and was watching an episode of Star Trek on Sky at the bar with a bottle of beer he was in his element as he is a big ST fan - I could not believe it so I had to get it snapped.. .

Mike loved the picture Terry... I have emailed it to him so he has his own personal copy... thanks for that..
PJ ... I have no idea what he was watching... each episode seems the same to me.. full of aliens and nonsense! I have lived with it for over 35 years now (Star Trek and Mike come as a package!) although, he doesn't watch so many now as he has seen them all but isnt averse to seeing them all over again if he could. I am not impelled to watch it at all and will quite happily wander off and do my "own thing" knowing he is happy, bless him!
-
Thanks Terry, as well as Thalassa we will visit your beloved Horizon, we were going to go to the latin night on the saturday when we were there, didnt for some reason, but will def visit this time. xx
-
We had a superb meal at the Horizon in August - I recommend their fish!
-
Hi sandy, thanks for the recommendation, love fish. x
-
Sharon, the Latin night is great fun. I had to dance (well make a fool of myself) two weeks running, with the girl dancer. I was knackered, but it was worth it just to have to put my hands around her and to feel her silky dress mmmm. Blondegirl (Sue) and her friend Lynn were very good dancers.
The Greek night on a Thursday is fun as well, and I think you should go and then volunteer to dance on the table. Then you can publish the photos when you get back.
As for the food, its all good, but try Mary's homemade cherry cheesecake, its really nice.
I'm jealous...........I want to go again, next July is too far away!!!!!!
-
I have a picture of my sister and me dancing on the table at Brouklis but am not technically skilled enough to put it on the forum. Maybe just as well - just for a change, I am absolutely drunk as a skunk! But it was a good night wasn't it Dimitri?
-
Hahahahahah Terry, you make me laugh. Kickin myself now we didn't go, we would have seen you. I danced on the table in Zante, years ago, will see what I can do, just for you x
Sandy, get that picture on here!! Did you have your crocs on? xx
-
No crocs...it was five years ago! I wouldn't know where to begin getting the photo on the forum. I am completely incompetent and can only just about work the camera! I could email it to you?
-
Sandy, yes email it please. Terry can help you with anything to do with comp. He told me how to get my piccie on here, I am as bad as you say you are with computers/cameras. x

Only once have the dancers tried to get me and Mike to dance on a table and we politely declined then and will always say no..... you cant find a table big enough or strong enough.. LOL.! At the Horizon I was so glad they didn't ask me(as if they would have) I like to dance but not that much! ... the guy was a pretty big guy, well he had huge thighs anyway and there just wouldn't have been room for me as well... the girl that was there was embarrassingly close though, thought she was a lap dancer! I don't think it is very Greek dance though. We always laugh at our videos of Mike dancing with a glass on his head, you can hear us in the background shrieking with laughter.

Dear Blondegirl
Thanks for the feedback. Its very pleasing to get an opinion posted, especially when its a kind one.
Must say that sunset watching in Arillas is what most of us love, except that when I met Dimitris at the Brouklis, he said his father never went down to watch the sunset.
Ah well - it takes all sorts.
Best wishes
PJ
-
If that was me,Patrick, I would frame that and put it on my wall. Beautiful.
-
Has anyone noticed that Dimitris has put all the old photo's on display? (photo gallery)Fantastic.
-
Thanks for pointing that out Jo, I love old photos like that.
Dimitris,
Ebay is a good source for old postcards. Yesterday I did an Ebay search for "Postcards Corfu" and found some. If a search is done on a regular basis, I am sure some of Arillas will turn up.
Here is one from yesterday

Hi Terry,
Collecting Corfu postcards is a little hobby of mine.
I have a fairly large collection of postcards which I've collected over the last 3 years. I've still to find an Arillas card in all my cyber searches, but I keep trying. I am on the mailing list of an auction house in Athens and still no luck there either.
It's amazing where the postcards turn up. I've bought them from people in Israel, Italy, USA, Canada and Spain to name a few.
Would you believe the most expensive postcards are not of places but people, especially in national dress...needless to say my collection is mostly made up of Corfu town and villages, including the one you have uploaded.
I've not added to my collection for a few months, I must get things moving again when I come back from Corfu.

Thats a lovely hobby Eileen. I just like old photographs anyway. Maybe we should start a new topic for Old photos.
Here is a site with lots of old photos of Corfu. It makes me wish I could read Greek.
http://oldkerkyraphoto.blogspot.com/
and some historic information here ... http://users.otenet.gr/~psailasn/index6.htm
-
Yes - what an interesting hobby, and its great when there is a theme to it, perhaps an old Arillas card will turn up soon.
Since this is the A to Z theme thought I'd progress to T with TABLE for TWO taken in Arillas 2007. Can't remember the name of the taverna, but its the one just up a little way north of the Horizon towards the main street.
It was a good meal (aren't they all in Arillas) - Stiffado for me and Mousaka for my better half (who kindly took the photo).
Best wishes
PJ

We collect really nice postcards of the islands etc.. and made a couple of large collages of them and they are on our kitchen wall. They are always constant reminders of where we have been - one is of different local people and the other is of different buildings/homes/architecture etc. I want to do another one just of sea/boats/beach scenes. They are a talking point when people visit as they try and pick out the places they have been too, also a few of our own photos are in there which are nice. You could do a collage of the different sunsets in Arillas.
These are the only pictures I haven't packed yet for our impending/canceled move and I am so glad about that so I can have something nice to look at.
-
Nice picture PJ - says it all and makes me feel hungry.
Cheers

Hi Negg
Have just had a look at Dimitris's Tourist Map and we were at Kosta's on the Beach. Could tackle a stiffado right now but must wait until we get to Tingaki in Kos next week.
Thanks for the comment,
All the best
PJ
-
Tell you what is really sad, I had already guessed that by the wall. Not theat I've been there a lot or anything!
-
Hi Jo
As an Arillas Regular Visitor I guess you just know these things.
I remember that while we were eating at Kosta's the little group with the accordian player came round and we thought it was great. That was the first we'd seen of them, but then we discovered they were around most nights.
Best wishes
PJ

If we're still on "K"
"K" is for koncrete. - Well nearly because there is no Greek letter "C"
(http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/9761/uconcretewm6.jpg)
This is what is going on as I type. The crane lorry, which is linked to the concreting lorry, had to go over the house to reach, what will be the patio area, on the other side. He then needs to move the pipe to the front of the house to create the pathway. All done by his remote control, strapped to his waist. Hope he avoids the TV Aerial and Sat Dish we had put up yesterday.!!!!
I tried to get a photo of our Agent but he was moving too fast and shouting at anyone around him . He's currently washng off the cement that splashed all up the side wall.
( Under pressure or what ! )
I'm hiding indoors - Last thing they want is a spectator.
Negg
-
Eggy - at that angle it looks like he is going to lift the house off the ground!! ;)
-
Thats exactly what i thought haha!!
I also guessed it was Kostas on the Beach straight away cos thats the table we sat at in May, i could tell by the wall and the flowers, funny isnt it what makes you remember a certain place!
-
Eggy,
These afternoon Ouzos are no good for you. Its U after T so lets call it "Up and over the House" Koncrete.
PS Can we all come to the house warming party when its finished?
-
Indeed! Will there be a housewarming party? Mrs Egg would be most pleased if the forum descended upon your new house and partied :)
-
Shuey
We quite often get a crane in to move the house if the sun is in the wrong place.
Terry
I thought we were stlll on "K"
Housewarming party?? - We may have this in December/January because if I can warm the house without the expenditure of oil fired heating costs then Hurrah!!
EEG
If the forum descended our house Mrs Egg would be pleased to welcome you all, panic about what food to offer, and then divorce me when you all left!!!
Smiffy
So you thought they were trying to move the house as well? - You certainly "know your Onions" - But then you should because you've just come back from Spain.
Negg
-
Good Grief Neill!!!
You had me all worrited 'cos you posted the current letter was K :-)
Sorry to jump the queue, but I've been waiting for my turn to get some of my images in turn.
I hope I can get this right?

Yes Sharon, it was taken on the Wednesday of our first week. After taking that photo we went along to Ag.Georgios for lunch on the seafront. We were able to watch the excitement of the enormous waves from under the plastic covers of the Snackshack.
My daughter and I were treated to the sight of a few large, macho and handsome greek guys braving the seas...lunch was so enjoyable that day!!! ;-) Alas, with my attention diverted I forgot to take more photos!!
Eileeen.
P.S the Snackshack had been recommended to me which is why we took the time to pay a visit. MMmmmm they serve the most delicious home-made pizzas ever...definitely well a visit.

A...A dancing troupe??? Arillas Olive trees playing statues??? A fine group of handsome Olive trees? The field to the right of the olive trees was like a meadow, it was truly beautiful carpeted with little purple flowers

I remember them scrawlings on walls. I did a few.
Kilroy I think his name was.
Terry W - Now we are going back years - Both of us !!
( But as I have an idea of your birth date - You go back a twinge more than me )
Hee Hee Hee !!!
Smiffy - Fancy being asked if you're naked in the pool.
(Were you ? If so, which pool? and are you staying there next year?
and What dates ??)
Purelly research, for Terry W, you understand. - Pictures for the Forum I think he said.

There's something about looking at my photo that wants to make me hide in the bathroom for 6 months.
The sort of feeling you get after mixing 3 Ouzos with Baileys and drinking as one.
( I'm only glad you haven't got the one of me with speedos on )
Forgot - Sorry - Terry W got hold of that one!.
Negg

Marika
That is a great photo. I'm just wondering if I could print it and enlarge to picture size.
It would look really good in a frame.
Maybe Terry W has some advice .

Glad you asked that about Marka's photo Negg, i was thinking the same thing, i would have that framed and put in my lving room, it's gorgeous isn't it, as you are in viv's photo x

A lovely photo Marika do you mind if I ask has it been digi enhanched at all or was it just a nice light. Sharon Marika is not in the photo that one was taken about 3-4 yrs ago. I think I got some of Marika at the Horizon but havent managed to get through them all to see whats any good and whats not, will have to get down to it soon. Viv

Thanks :-), that you all like my picture! It is one of my best!
I maked it at 2:00 in the night with a special programm in my camera!
To make photos like this you need time ( 30sec - 1min) and a tripod.
With the same programm I maked the picture of the Horizon in the night!
But I had luck, it was the night before fullmoon!
So the night it is a bit lighter, that makes it a bit easier!
I think I can't top it, but I have some more nice ones!
Viv => you have pictures from me in the Horizon! I am so looking forward to see them!
And can you send me the pictures? That will be very nice!
I have a look If I have a nice picture from me, in the Horizon!
OK! Time for the next picture :-)

Marika,
I think you should open an exhibition of your photographs, in Arillas, and sell prints. I would love to see the photos at A3 size (420mm x 297mm)or larger. and I would definitely buy one.
Do you have a web site to display themon?
TerryW
-
Hi Terry!
That is a good idea, an exhibition of my photographs. I must think about that :-)
Hmmm! I have no web side, I am thinking about that a long time,
but I don't know how it works and how much is it!
Because I have so many pictures and I don't know witch side I need (how many GB or ?)
But I have a name for the web side :-) "Marikas dream" or something like that!
I will see!
And here I have another one :-)
Very funny, I saw, you make the same, only a bit different! HaHaHa!

Arrr Barry, you got caught by that, you not the first and you wont be the last. When I stared to do photo's and smiley's I couldnt understand why I just saw the text all the time and kept wipeing it of and not even trying to post it and then
(http://bestsmileys.com/doh/4.gif) I clicked the post one day by mistake and there it was, couldnt believe it A REAL PHOTO
(http://bestsmileys.com/camera/5.gif) never tried 2 in one posting lets hope it works as I say I know a few of people that didnt know this happend and are now posting.
Marika its a good clipp. Viv
-
By the way does anybody know which letter we are meant to be on? Viv
-
I think perhaps we need to go back to 'A'. We've lost the plot!

It is a nice idea to post a small video like that Marika and even better to see what Arillas and the Horizon look like when it is raining.

Hi Marika, I look at your photo's and wish so hard to be in Arillas. They really show it to it's best. Viv

Clare, your photo has just reminded me of how very cute your hubby to be is. No wonder you are excited about getting married, he is lovely and such a great guy.

Hi Everyone
This picture was taken on my first visit to Arillas in 2003, just after buying some souvenirs in Ina's Minimarket. We stayed in Sidari that time, hired cycles for the first week and then a little car for the second week. Exploring the north of the island we found Arillas and were very impressed.

I think this thread must have the record for the most posts - there are 39 pages of them!

Hi Riggers
I suppose it was to show it was our (hire) car, but I wouldn't do it on my own car. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Marikea
Fabulous picture at San Stefanos. Have I started a new trend - pics of our first visits?
Regards
PJ
-
PJ Only said in jest as you know, but i bet you have never looked back in finding ARILLAS. As to be said for all of us...Regards..riggers...
-
Hi PJ!
What you see in my back is Arillas :-)
But no problem :-) and thank you.
It looked very different!
No Horizon, no Mirage, no Ina's,......
Marika
-
Hi Marika. I can see you have been going to Arillas a long time. Where i stay at the Kaloudis only seems to be half built aswell as any where else. It just goes to show you how Arillas has come on over the last decade....Regards ...riggers....
-
You have so right Riggers! In San Stefanos the same!
Wow in all the pictures I have from my holidays you can see very good the difference.
Regards Marika

MARIKA, Everythings changed from where you are standing aswell. I don't see a view that anymore....riggers..

Hi all
Is it just me or does Eggy look totally different on every picture we see, from an ageing man in a cardigan to a young man in a dapper hat.
Mango

Perfectly placed in The Coconut Bar, as always ;-) !

He's much younger looking than you expect after seeing the original picture of him with the walking stick ! x

Thats an interesting sign, John the Ref. I like the way cement and small rocks have been used with the supporting piece of wood to create a mobile sign.
I wonder how much the land is?
Oh no........... this could mean we get Real Estate Businesses Posting Pics on the forum, as its very tempting to phone the number.

Hi EEG
That's another great picture of our favourite place.
What a wonderful place to be. Am very envious and can hardly wait until our visit next May.
Remember having great fun this year in June, in the Horizon pool, trying to get on somebody's Lilo. My wife thought my feeble attempts a great hoot and took these pictures.
(http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/patjmcn/TroubleswithaLilo.jpg)
-
Patrick John, did you notice how the drain cover by the pool had been painted to make it look like crazy paving? I thought it was a clever thing to do, and well crafted as well. Its little things like that make a place special.

-
I must say, that look's very safe.....riggers....
-
Hi Paul
Like the picture of the propped up boat - very ingenious.
Hi Terry
I agree about the Horizon. A high level of attention to detail makes a place just that bit special and out of the ordinary. Marino, Mary, Andrew, and Stephania (the Bulgarian clearner) all worked hard just to make our holiday memorable.
Best wishes to all Forum Members and Guests.

Apropos Horizon!
I found another picture! It is not so got like the others.
It looked like...... hmmm, I can't find in English the right word.
I think the picture have something special!

Marika,
What a beautiful picture of the illuminated pool glowing in the dark :)
-
Hello marika, i must say you take some brilliant photo's, is that a star in the background or a mark on our screen?! How do you do it because everytime we take a photo at night with the sky in it its rubbish! (there again the ouzo's to blame!) Also (sorry to be nosey) was you there with your brother last year when the world cup was on?
-
Another stunning photograph Marika, I think you are very artistic..
One English word that you could have used is Magical, because the way you have captured the different changes in the lighting is magical, and I can also see what appears to be a star.
Wundervoll
-
Sorry but i don't think they are stars. Dust on the lens, believe me i'm a professional iv'e got a polaroid.....riggers...
-
Polaroid means fun don't you know....riggers....
-
Looks like you could ice skate on it, can you imagen the fun turning the pool to ice after about 10 when weve all been on the bottle. lol. Viv
-
riggers, why don't you post some of the photos that you took. "having fun" with the polaroid?
-
Hi!
us24evr -> Thank you :-) Yes it is a star :-)
I make this kind of pictures with a special program in the camera.
It need 30 - 60 sec to take a picture like that.
riggers -> For sure it is a star and no dust on the lens.
On some other pictures of mine,
special the one with the tree, you can see more stars.
Hmmm! I want see pictures from you too,
if you say you are professional and they are so good! ;-) :-)
TerryW -> Thank you Terry :-) :-) And you found the right name for the picture :-)
I have another one!

Riggers, this is was I thought about your pictures, camera! HaHaHa!
The best camera and pictures you make are in your mind and they are still there!
These are always the best pictures! I have some more in my mind too. HaHaHa!

How very beautiful. No matter how many times you see the sunset it still takes your breath away. What a fantastic photograph.
-
Fantastic photo Burger, cant wait to stand and watch another sunset in real time
-
Thats a wonderful photograph burger, and with it being in portrait mode more sky can be seen.
I think it would be nice to see a slide show of all of the sunsets thats have been published on here.
TerryW
-
here's another,you could say the red sea as it's a bit underexposed,but adds to the dramatic sunset
(http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/batemansxxxb/corfu2006158.jpg)
-
I never tire of looking at the sunset pictures because everyone is different, i love them!!
Patrickjohn, the trick to getting on a lilo is to stand on the poolside, put the lilo in the pool in front of you lengthways, you then dive on to it and hope for the best haha!!
-
Hi Smiffy
Agree with you about the sunset pictures - aren't they all just great?
Shall be in Arillas last two weeks in May 2008. Can I book you for some lessons in getting on Lilos please?
Best wishes

A lovely photo Sharon. I can just imagine myself sitting there gazing out to sea while enjoying a cocktail. :-)
Eileen.

Thanks Eileen, followed the image shack instructions, it's so easy!! We would either sit in Horizon or Mirage for the sunsets, bliss x
-
Well done on the posting of pics Sharon, see i told you if i could do it, you could!!
Lovely sunset picture!
Patrickjohn, unfortunately i wont be out there in May, but i want to see some pictures of you mastering the deed!!
-
I sympathise with Patrick John - I am just the same. On a recent trip to Cyprus I presented our resort with much merriment in my attempts to master the lilo! So I too shall have to follow your instructions, Smiffy, thanks.
We will also be there in May, but don't think it's the same weeks, PJ, as we go 5th to 19th ?

Lovely pictures.
Is it just round the corner coming from the Bardis Sun near the sea breeze?
-
Scary scaffolding, taken on the road up the mountain past Priniplas where they are building a house with awesome views. I am involved with H&S on a construction site so this really scared me!!
(http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/246/arillas031wh2.jpg)
-
Thats Bad!! Sharonf what job do you do then?
Paul.
-
That is scary, don't suppose they have same H & S standards in Corfu !
-
You shall have to let me know how you get on with the lilo laying in May Lynn??!
I was going to say the same as you Shuey, its just before you turn the bend onto the front from Bardis Sun end.
Theres no way on earth they stand on that scaffolding surely??!! How dangerous does that look, great pic though!!
-
Hi Shuey and Smiffy,
Yes, right first time, don't know what the prize is though - perhaps more tea bags for Eggy, ha ha.
Seriously scary scaffolding, Sharon!
-
(http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/5599/cimg00061cx5.jpg)
By way of a change, took this at the Rainbow last year.Quite effective I thought.

I like that almost looks as id they should be dancing to music like the fireworks do. Viv
-
Thats Bad!! Sharonf what job do you do then?
Paul.
Hi Paul, I am a site manager, it's vary varied, organising work on site, adminstration, health and safety is one of the duties. keeping the lads and the contractor happy!
Smiffy didn't see anybody on it, but it was about 2pm so there wasn't anybody around.
xx
-
Hi Sharon i am doing my NVQ4 site management and also have to look after subbies and all the H&S. I work for Costain in Birmingham and currently on a Ł5 million Medical Centre.
Paul
-
It always makes us smile when we see the H & S standards in greece when building works are going on..... really scary scaffolding.. You dont see anyone wearing goggles, gloves or even work boots.
my daughter works for Lang Orourke, Crownhouse contractors and she is always looking at scaffolding and cranes etc... when we go past any building works.
-
Hi Paul, we are working on council renovations., my employers are contracted to the main contractor to the housing trust. I am responsible for the brickies, plasterers, tilers and internal demolition. Everyday is different, which is great. BG, i'm like your daughter, once you are involved with H&S it's hard to take the hat off!xx

Marika you take absolutely stunning photos, thank you for sharing them x

Thank you Sharon and Smiffy :-)
Smiffy I will and must think about it :-)
It is a very good idea!
You mean like this? I hang up one in my bedroom. It is in the size 40x55cm :-)

Pauline if you look at the trip to the vets thread, in general chat, it tells you really simply on there how to do it. I followed that, and i'm a complete novice on the pc, and it is so easy. x

Marika, your pictures are so well constructed and thought out, you MUST start to sell them. The artist in you can't be held down. I will buy one but there is a much bigger market out there for you. Start doing people - you will make wonderful thoughtful and watchable pictures of all of us. You've got the technical, but you've also got the art...
with best wishes

Hi together!
I don't know what I can say!
I would not really have expected so a large resonance!
That makes me very lucky!
Thank you Phil for your beautiful words!
I must say thank you to Eggy, Sharon, Smiffy, Lynn/Colin, Pauline.......
You all make me strong, maybe to find a new way in my life!
It is not easy, because we have so many Photo graph in the world.
They learned it for few years, have special cameras.....
And still for them it is not easy to find jobs.
And than I come with my little camera. But I hope my dream is coming true.
But you all make me happy, because you all like my photos.
To make photos for professional is my dream!
And you can be safe, that you all get your poster!
The poster have ca. the size 40x55cm!
More largely does not go unfortunately because the pictures have not enough pixel,
otherwise those become in a diffuse way.
Pauline, I write you to my customers :-)
I make a list now with the names and which picture you want!
So tell me what pictures you like to have!
And at the end I must say something to you all!
I saw so many pictures here and I can say, all of you make beautiful, lovely pictures!
Thanks Marika x x x x

Marika, okay two i definately want are the moonlight one on page 32, and the one on page 44 of the sunset it's the one with the picture in your bedroom just above.
Whatever you can do will be great, then we will have to sort out how we pay for them. Thanks again Marika.
Sharon xxx

Sharon, I noticed your two pictures!
Very good choice! :-)
Now I only wait for some more and than I can order them all together!
And tell you than how we do that with the paying.
If I have the photos together for order I know than the price
and than I can tell you the price for the Photo(s).
I tell you that than before, if that all is ok for you!

Marika....I think it would be lovely to have some of your photos on the walls of our house in Arillas....just to get people in the mood. I'm just checking with Joyce so please don't do your final order till I get back to you. Thanks!

No problem! Have a look and tell me than!

Assuming that the " X " for Xmas is now upon us and the " Y " could be Yuletide for all then we have a " Z " for Zacharaplasteio. ( Sweet/Cake shop )

How about doing a Calendar

Hmmm! Is a very good idea :)
I will think about it!
Marika x x x

Excellent Pictures Marika - you are very talented.
-
Just back in action - had a nasty dose of Spanish Tummy yesterday. Funny I never get that in Arillas....
Lovely pics as usual Marika - the forum's "first lady of photography."
Jen an me would also love to buy a calendar. We have so many ideas rattling round in our heads - perhaps a www.arillas.com calendar, using forum colour scheme, featuring only our dedicated forum photographers and Arillas pics, resume's on the back, available online to forum members and visitors, can be bought in Ailllas too, big push to sell at Christmas etc etc. The forum pulled off the song (before our time sadly, but we still play it now and then) and I am sure we could do this.
What a fantastic promotion for the forum, the village, the photographers and all....
We could all vote for the 12 (?) pics online to make the content truly democratic if that is what we want.
Any views? We hope we can do something like this.
Best wishes
phil and jenny

Phil & Jen - Good idea - Poor Marika will sonn have to start up a small company.
They would be snapped up in Arillas , I reckon.
Negg

But Eggy, let's hope she gets the recognition she deserves.
Snapped up???

And Marika - you are the forum's photographer. Will vote for you.
The Arillas Calendar - currently a project, tomorrow a tradition.

Hi Phil and Jen, Eggy, riggers, John, SharonF, Sandy, Lynn/Colin, Smiffy....
and all my lovely friends!
You make me crying :'(
You are all soooooooooooo beautiful!
I have no words!
"I make very good photos" you all say!
Since if I was a small child I like to make photos.
Everybody was laughing about that,
because everywhere I went I had my camera with me.
You never seen me without that. But I can say a lot of them are not really good.
Than I came to Corfu and 2 years after I get my first Digital camera.
and in that year I discovered my passion for the photography.
I would have never expected, that I am praised in such a way for it, as from you!
All of you make my feeling in the moment very high,
in a momentary very difficult time for me.
That is why I can cry! You all make me very happy, with your lovely words for my photos!
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!
With a lot of love
Marika x x x
-
And a Big THANK YOU for Dimitris,
that this webside exists.
Without this side, where I could adjust my photos,
I never found out, that my photos find so much acknowledgment.
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH DIMITRIS!
With a lot of love
Marika

Marika, you see what we don't until you capture it on film. Then we see it. That is what art is about. Horizon pool poster looks like an African river. Our friends stand and stare at it. Filipos just shrugged, bent his knees and looked at us in disbelief (BTW he will be back here shortly.)
Have you thought about portraits? You would be brilliant there too. Whoever took Dimitris and Bebis had Jenny dictating a post on the forum. Beautiful. She said "perhaps Marika took it?"
I am serious about a calendar - it would be a treasure for both Jen and me. It could also help Dimitris and the forum.
with love
phil and jenny
-
where can I find the photo of Dimitris and Bebis?
-
Brilliant idea phil and jen for a calendar. Great idea too that we all vote for the best 12 piccies.
Marika, you deserve all the praise you receive. Like philandjen said, we dont see it until you have captured it, that takes a special talent.

Hi PG32
About the house on the headland. We walked up to it last year and it was closed up and seemed unfinished. We enquired about it and were told the owner live(s)d in San Stefanos, had had a dream to build it all his life, but now that it was nearly complete he'd got a serious illness and couldn't complete it.
Anyone know better?
PJ
-
Great Photos Terry.
I'll have the STAMNA off the menu please, and could you do me an ouzo while i'm waiting.
Another great Sunset Photo too Dimitris..
-
We have got one of those digital photo frames that we have never used, didnt know how to download the photos... our son came round and I found all the photos I had of Arillas etc... and he has put them on this frame. I was so excited because now I have all our holiday snaps and sunsets of Arillas constantly changing in the living room and everyone that visits can see how lovely Arillas is. A permanent daily reminder whenever I walk into the room. Just need some music I think!
-
Gata,
Thats a good challenge but I am running out of photographs but I will have a go
Marika...... Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic sunset Dimitris, its good to see the sunset moving towards San Stefanos again.

I think Gata meant that we start again but going through the Greek alphabet.
So, the first picture could be A for Αρίλλας

Hi Terry
You've jumped 16 letters, you need to give me/others time to find things.
PATIENCE.......man......!!!!!!! - A cat has patience
I have photos for many other letters but I didn't want to just monopolise the game, I was waiting for the correct letter order.
Now lets start again LOL (CAUSE YOUR CHEATING!!!!!!!!)
The only words I can find for this letter is tree or forest. Have you any good photos of a Greek tree or forest?
-
Ok Gata, you gave me a big clue so it is
δ for δέντρο (it had to be an ελιά δέντρο, eh Eileen)

Gata and Marika, I think your Greek is a 1000 times better than mine, it takes me hours to translate and find suitable words that can be turned into photographs. Some lovely photos. I loved the dancing one Marika.
I am finding this web site a great help http://www.kypros.org/cgi-bin/lexicon
I just have to assume that the translations are accurate.
Marika, there is a free ( you can donate ) photo editng program here
http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
TerryW

HaHaHa!
Terry,I have a very nice book, where I had a look for these words :D
My greek is not good :)
And thanks for that programm .)
I tried it few month ago,
I found it in the internet too, if I had a look for free programms,
but it was not working!
I had that on my old computer. So, that is why I had a look for it!
But no problem, I have 4 other programms on my computer :D
I can do with them everything!

Marika I also had one for "κ"

Thanks Gata, Terry and Marika. Some really wonderful photos - please keep them coming!
My favourite is Marika's Θάλαοοα. (My greek is even worse - I cut and pasted it in there...)
The child (or it could be anyone - so intriguing) set in the corner of a fantastic darkly lit but sunny sea and the beach so equally inviting and dangerous. An amazing picture.

That Greek Language and People looks well used Eggy!

Looks like you use those book frequently, Eggy!
-
Eggy I thought you were learning ancient Greek when I seen your "Greek Language and People Book" I have the same book but a much newer version. You must have had the book for a lot of years.
-
You must be very fluent with your Greek now Eggy.??
-
Riggers - Fluent ? - Not really but picking up a little more every day. I can read much better due to watching bits of Greek TV.
( English Films with Greek subtitles seem a good way to learn )
Thet Greek Language and People book is about 15 years old and Hugo's Learn Greek in 3 months? - Well I bought that about 6 years ago and I've nearly got to the end!
Siga Siga as the Greeks say.
So... N (ni ) is for ντοματα (dthomata )

TerryW
Terry I know what you mean. I have to think of a Greek word for the letter and my Greek vocabulary is very limited and gets worse the longer I'm away from Arillas. Once I get a word I then have to find a photo that matches the word. Its just about took up my whole weekend!!! But its been fun looking through my Arillas photos again.

PhilandJen - ξενοδοχος means Hotel Manager - I think! but don't quote me!!!!
Eggy - A lovely tree, is it in your garden?
-
I cant keep up with this, giving my language skills a breather at the moment - Urdu was hard enough!
-
I've been in Shropshire, all day so I am a bit behind with all this now. The photos posted today are great and seeing them makes you look up the name to see what it actually means. Its ok to recognise the word but to be able to pronounce it is impossible.
Can we have the ability to listen to sound on the forum Dimitris?
Thanks for extending this topic Gata it is educational and great fun. Brings back memories of maths at school when I see the symbols.

Maggie, was it Marinos?

I would say so......

I'm still looking at the keyboard here so, unless someone beats me to it, I'll put on the keys you type to get the Greek letters soon. ( Hope that makes sense )

φυτο - Is plant - ( Fyto )
Don't wanna be a smart ass but have you confused this letter with ΨΙ (PSI) .
Αs in ΨΑΡΙ - psari - Fish.
Or have I got totally confued with the greek alphabet?
( Anyone got a good picture of a fish ? - or a loaf of bread?)
Dimitris - Wegg says thankyou for saying it doesn't look like her.
Negg
-
Eggy,
According to my book and Babel Fish, φυτο is plant. I haven't confused it with Ψ because that is the letter I am currently looking at. There are bound to be quite a few discrepencies with these words because for all I know plant could be as Heavy Lifting Plant.
What we need now, is for someone to make a recording of the correct pronounciation of these words and upload to a website so we can listen to them.
Eggy and Dimitris,
What is the history of the "taverna" picture? It is an intriguing photograph that looks like a painting, or is it a painting? It really does show a delightful picture of daily Arillas life. Very peacefull.

Κιριε
Κατελαβαινω Τορα - συγγνομη - (Katelaveno tora-signomi) I understand now - sorry.
You're right that the pronounciation is important. We played one the the Pimsleur learn greek tapes the other day and realised we had a couple of simple words quite wrong with the accents. Learn from mistakes is what we still do.
That Taverna picture was a postcard that Dimitris super imposed my face on. The "me" on the end was my forum photo for a very long time.
Cheers
Negg
-
Some of us liked that forum photo Eggy....
-
I remember Dimitris showing it to me on his computer when he was doing it. He said then that the old boy at the other end was going to be Harold and he did name the other 2 but I cant remember who he said now. I know we had a right laugh about it. love Viv

Just for you I'll wear an old jumper and bring me ole mother's stick to Brouklis when you and Joyce are over here.

Looks to me that we are all struggling on - Ω ( ωμεγα ) - as Ohmega.
The best I can think off, with the help of a Greek Dictionary, is - ωνια (onia )
It means provisions/Goods. - So come on someone and take a picture of your food cupboard. -
It could make us jealous here. Hp Sauce/Salad Cream/Pickled Onions/Proper Bacon ?

Hi everyone
Am finding it a bit difficult to keep up with this thread now its in Greek.
However not to be outdone I've got an Omega for you (as well as an Alpha)
(http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/patjmcn/Other%20Pics/AlphaOmega.jpg)
Pity the pic was taken in Lincoln (Our Lady of Lincoln Church) and not in Arillas!
Best wishes
PJ
-
ώ Ω is a difficult one, but I think this is OK. I have looked through lots of my photographs of Corfu and Kefalonia and realised that not many public buildings have clocks, or I have always missed them.
ώρα for time ( the photo is a bit blurred because I had to zoom in on a photograph)
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/clock.jpg)

Thanks Terry and PJ.
They both beat me taking a picture of my watch as a last resort.

ινε πολλα αβγα Terry. - It is many eggs ( A lot )
Haven't you heard of a continental breakfast
Can we start at alpha again?
αλφα ινε για "ΑΠΟΘΙΚΙ" - Alpha is for APOTHIKEY - Stress on the "key" part.
It means Shed/Storeroom.
(http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/1737/shedao3.jpg)
Out on a limb with this one and can't find it in the Greek/English dictionary. So I have guessed with the spelling and hope it's right.
I also hope that Dimitris will correct it if necessary.
It's all a learning curve.
Cheers
Negg

Hi Negg
Is it your store room/Shed??
Amanda
-
I like the crazy paving!
-
Thats a very posh shed! Can you let it out?
-
Mango
The shed and pergola is alll my handiwork. ( in between the odd Ouzo or 5 )
Terry
The crazy paving extends to 3 pathways around the front of the house but that handy work is down to 2 very good greek "artists"
BG
As soon as we get the mattress and drinks cabinet installed we will let you know.
Cheers
Negg
ps - As, trying to be "typically Greek" the roof of the pergola was done using Bamboo canes which we found dumped as rubbish one morning.
( One mans rubbish is another mans treasure here - Luv it! )
Today I found 2 more wheel trims to replace the one's that keep bouncing of the pug.
-
What about the bed you found on the beach? Dont worry about the drinks cabinet, a cooler box will do fine.

Great Eggy, thats better to include the english meaning as well, I may begin to learn it now!

I'm glad I didn't post a β photo otherwise we may not have seen those lovely views from Mount Pantokrator that Gata has posted. Great Pics.

Thanku Terry
These were taken in July 2004, only problem was it was such a hot and hazy day the views were not as clear and spectacular as they can be.

ε for ελαστικό = tyre and αριθ ελαστικό = no Tyre
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/tyre.jpg)
Is the bike still there?
-
Eggy: Just filled out the forms, just need the mug shots, we both needed new ones this year. They should be here by September!
-
Terry
I don't understand/know "αριθ ελαστικό" as no tyre. I thought the word for "no" was "όχι". I cant find the word αριθ anywhere. Where did you see it.
Eggy: do you know the word? I like to learn Greek so further info would be helpful
Gata
-
I can't type the Greek but do you mean "horis"..."without". They may be sound the same?
-
Not a word I recognise and Dimitris may correct me here but " θ " which is the Greek θητα - ( Thita ) is never used at the end of a word - May be wrong.
οχι - ochi - is the word for no and can be used as it is at Home.
χωριζ - choris ( "ch" as in Loch - The same with ochi ) is without.
So I suppose you could say "no Tyre" or "without a tyre"
I need to workout how to say in Greek:-
"When I find Terry's hire car it will quickly be without tyres"
History lesson over - I gotta headache now !
Anyway - A good εψιλο - (epsilo ) Terry.
Anyone for a ζιτα - (zita) ?
Negg
-
At least I will know how to type κλεμμένος ελαστικό when my hire car has been "Egged".
What would the plural be, if ελαστικό = tyre what would tyres be?
-
Here is ζ for ζωγραφική = a painting at Irini's
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/painting.jpg)
-
have you been on Irinis Web page
http://irinis-art.freehostia.com/
some lovely stuff
-
Thanks for posting that link Gata, I didn't know that Irini had a website.
-
Hi Terry
hope you had a chance to look on Irini's Site. If you did you may have seen me!!!!!
To answer your question about plural for ελαστικό. I think by its ending its a neuter word
το ελαστικό = the tyre so therefore the plural may be τα ελαστικα - the tyres. I may be wrong as that was from my limited knowledge of Greek language rules and once you think you understand the rules some irregularity pops in and throws your understanding into chaos - is there any other learners out there who understand what I mean!
-
Terry / Gata
Heavy stuff these plurals and I still get a lot wrong. It's a bit of a minefield and a lot of it gets put into memory. A little like how you identify the word "LEAD" within a sentence. "Lead is a metal" or "The dog is on a lead" - That sort of thing.
I'm sure Gata is right on the plural for tyre as most neuter nouns ending in "O" will change to an "A". As will most neuter nouns ending in " I "
Eg - to pedhi - ta pedthia ( Child / Children )
But a feminine noun as in "ee ora" (the hour ) becomes "ores" ( hours)
I've gotta nother headache now!
Cheers
Negg

I know what u mean about a headache!!!!
My Greek seems to flow so much better after a few glasses/bottles of wines lol
-
Languages are strange:
What about this. You chop down a tree and then you cut or brake up the branches. How did we ever learn English!!!!
-
Gata
I can slip quite comfortably into Greek after a couple of bevvies. But, quite often. I still struggle to understand as one word can flow into another
Yiasas for example is "hello/goodbye" yia sas can be translated as " for you "
I worry sometimes I will forget a lot of English - Who saw that I put "History lesson" earlier instead of "Greek lesson"? - You were all too polite to tell me!
So - Continue the education - Who's got a "Η - η - ητα" - ita?
I am concerned that not all this banter will be enjoyed by all so c'mon Forum. If you think we should stick a Greek A-Z on another topic make your feelings felt.
Negg
ps - I feel like I'm back at school but, for me, it's enjoyable education for a change.
pps. - Also I failed my English language and literature A-Levels ,years ago so you've all got a head start on me.
-
Lovely to see a photo of Irini.....
-
I would love to have a go but my head is still swimming with Urdu words over 6 months of lessons and I feel like a break from languages. Give me a few more weeks and I might be able to have a go. I think one of the problems is learning the phonetics and not really knowing how the words really sound. The alphabet has got to be a good start though. The worse part is def. the grammar!
I think its amazing that you are all having a go. Are you using a greek translator online so as to be able to copy and paste the actual greek writing too?
So with Dans Romanian, Marika with her language (is she from Finland or Sweden), and Italian etc. we should all be able to pick a few other languages too.

Meant to say lovely picture Terry- the colours are fantastic!

Good Honest Replies folks.
I suggest we start a new post " Greek Alpha to Omega Photos " and put the A-Z back for everyone.Or any title that fits.
( Then we can all get the best of both !)
Whose gonna start us off with A's for both then?

I am so glad you suggested this Neil. I loved the a-z but could not follow the greek version.
I love seeing the photos but it was a bit off putting with the greek alphabet.

I just named it a-z pictures of arillas - english then perhaps we can run a greek alphabet along side it.
just an idea.

The original one, accessable to all.
and now we have :>>
Arillas Forum > Welcome to Arillas > GENERAL CHAT and other gossips > A-Z Pictures of Arillas - English
The new one, accessable to members only!!, don't think that is a good idea?, share with everybody please!.
So were is the Greek one?.
Confused!!.

This one with the 61 pages is the original English one.. It seems to have all gone a bit pear shaped!

This is the English one, and I suppose Eggy or Gata will start a Greek one. Mango started the other accidentally.

You seem to have managed very well with a super pic. However if you make them a bit smaller its easier to view them - it avoids only half being visible and having to move the slide bar along.

if this works, then I have not completely lost my marbles, and yes it is now known as the "Sea Breeze", memories and the start of a long lasting love affair. Mick.

That's a really interesting photo....don't remember ever seeing it like that and I was there in '93. It's great seeing all the old pictures of how Arillas used to be.
-
Mick
It is working, and you haven't lost your marbles. Its a good job too, because I reckon you will have a lot of interesting photos to show us, especially if they are as old as the last one.
Keep em coming mate I think we could be in for a treat.

Stared at your pic for ages Mick. Both Sandy and Terry have said it. Any more treats like that? We are all hoping so

Amazing photo... so that little road that goes past it is the one that leads to the BS Studios etc.? Where the gate is positioned does that mean they didnt use that road, it wasnt a thru road, I presume the road in front is facing the sea where the terrace is now.
I love to see the before photos.

Nice one Mick! May forgive you for your liverpool/man utd comment if you keep them coming! hahaha.
Great pics, more please

The picture of Sea Breeze actually has the road and the sea out of view but running top to bottom of the right hand side. And Sandy it was like this until 1995 if my memoery serves me right. We remember grandad and granma sitting there regularly. Grandad had a real twinkle in his eye and always had a tomato in his pocket to give to any ladies that stopped to talk to him. Sometimes he would sit over the road outside the canopy covered part of the resturaunt that now is. The road also went on around the bend to Bardis sun as it does now.

Maybe I'm being a bit dim here, but i can't see any photo!

Maggie it is there on last page, you will remember it if you used the back road from Tria. Now that was an interesting road a night in the dark.
John you'r not wrong, and as for Grandad, what can anyone say, he was a real lady lover ;-) and of all ages.
Due to house moves I have lost or mislaid a lot of photos, but I have found some that could be of interest. I am having a problem using 'imageshack' so will try again later.
Mick.

I've just looked again and i saw you photo mick, it wasn't there when I looked earlier tho.

Another one, this shows the road that goes around the back of the house and the second old house that is now next to the pool.

Again 1992. In 93 the family used the rooms themselves because some persons had complained that it was too cold inside. We loved it, go inside during the heat and to be able to cool down, Bliss. Mick.

thats a really good photo. In the background it looks totally unbuilt, not even many trees about either, hardly anything there. Amazing what happens in a few years. Great to look at.
What are the words on top of the railings, I cant make it out.

I agree with blondgirl (susieb) that your first attempt Peter & Evie is first class. Very atmospheric or perhap mysterious look to the island. Hope its the first of many pics you post.
Looking forward to seeing it myself next week (reminds me must go and get some Euros before they go up any more)
Best wishes
Pat

Thats a lovely photograph Evie and Peter, lets have some more!!!
-
Great photo, only been back a few hrs and missing it already. While there I did my own A-Z of photo's in Arillas but dont think I will use them until someone is really stuck for the next letter. Viv
-
Hiya viv, and welcome back. xx

@ Evie % Peter, that is a fab picture, I hope to try my hand & get some similar shots when I go in July for my first visit. :-)

Hmm wonder where the old shoe came from.......Not mine honestly..
riggers.........

Probably a cast off from the Donut man.....
-
As long as thats all he casts off!

Now that sandal could be a contender for the Turner Prize in contemporary art. It could be called. Sandie's Sandy Sandal.
Tracey Emin, eat your heart out!
-
Not if it's been anywhere near the Donut man thank you very much Terry....
-
Terry, I did think of Sandy when I took it but deciced that even if crocs were not about she wouldn't have worn black sandals.
Just seen that my pic has gone to a little red cross, Thought I had replaced the old one, must have gone wrong some where.
Riggers, so pleased that ive made you a happy bunny and that you wont get repeative strain injury with turning your screen on it's side. Viv

You're right, John, we were always catching him asleep!
-
We are looking forward to seeing that little dog that used to be tied up at the Sea Breeze... does anyone know if he is still there?
-
blondegirl - if it´s the same dog of Yanni´s I saw in previous years, he told me it had been poisoned and died. He called it Jimmy I believe. I had the dog originally when I lived in Magoulades, and it was called Paska. The house-owner would not allow me to keep it and so Yanni was glad to take it. I saw no dog there last week but Yanni was not there at the time, so hopefully the dog you saw is a new one.
-
I hope he hasnt died. He was so cute. The first few days he was running around loose but because of the traffic on that corner of the Sea Breeze he was tied up. He would always come out from under the bush to say hello and bark like mad when you left him. He wasnt very old and was a really lovely dog.
-
Jimmy/Paska was 4 years old last year, so may not be the same dog you mean. Hope not anyway.
-
The one you are thinking of Sue is Lara.She was a boxer pup only a few months old.When we went back in Aug she wasnt around.He said she wasnt well but was getting better.I have a feeling she didnt survive.
-
Have now put her as my profile picture.

Oh Lisa thats sad. She was so gorgeous. Lovely to see her photo, thanks for that!

Try opening it in Paint Sharon, then image/resize (about 20% should do it).

Jen, sorry still none the wiser, how do I do that, i'm using image shack, and usually click resize, but its staying on the large size.

Just after taking this photo, we walked up to top to the benches, a couple of bees must have taken exception to having their photo taken. There were about 6 people at the top, when 2 bees went mental at me! lol. I cannot stay still, and was screaming and running around waving my bag which hit me on the head, but they just kept coming, billy's saying, keep still you'll have the whole hive after you. aaahhhh, legged it!

LOL! Glad you escaped and nice pic's :)

(http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g262/viviankizzysmum/IMGP0582.jpg)

LOL Viv....that was my dad's invention before I bought a patio table. I like it so much I've decided to keep it.....but visitors beware.....if you walk up there and are thirsty don't be tempted to drink that water - it's been in the bottles for weeks!
-
Sandy I forgot all about that table! Liz and Dave loved it! I think it deserves the Turner prize...so much more deserving than dead cows, soiled beds and demolished buildings!!!
Eileenxx
-
Viv...thanks so much for that picture. I've just got home and logged in as I can't access photos at work. The good news is that apart from my coffee table....my patio railings are in!!!!!! They hadn't been fitted when I was there so it's good to see a little bit more has been done......it WILL be finished one day....and now I won't fall overboard to the lower level if I have one retsina too many!
-
Eileen is right - it could easily be next year's Turner. Could get all arty-farty here but don't know how to. I do accounting and IT...
I know Tracey Emin's tent burned down - I haven't been caught yet....
You have a wonderful house in Afionas Sandy. And viv has captured a wonderful take on it. Jen and me will visit you there one day.
Phil
-
I hope you will Phil....you and Jen must come up for a glass of water at the beginning of September! I reckon it's still Arillas though, not Afionas....
-
As long as it isn't out of one of those bottles though Sandy. If I'm right they will be too posh and expensive to waste on the likes of Jen and me.
Arillas Afionas - what difference? Night Owls know better. You are quite right though - we've invited ourselves. Please bring your dad
Phil

LOL, remember seeing the table when I went up for a nosy! It's a fab house. xx

Hey viv, what sort of flip flops are in the shops in Arillas? Love the picture, as I love beads etc. xx

From the view of your photo Viv, you must have had the studio above us. We had the one below last year! So that's what it looked like from up there!
Brings back lovely memories. We loved it at the Bardis Sun. I see you have already booked for 2009.

G seems to be missing though.
I am just making sure that my CF and SD cards are ready for next week and everything is backed up. We bought a Nintendo DS on Saturday and I have found out that you can use it for viewing photographs and Videos using something called a DSTT card. I just need to get the use of a PC while I am in Arillas.

hi graham
agree about the greek salad on the other post - but like you say I drink loads of Mythos and go on to have stamna and red wine afterwards....
The pictures here have to be hosted with a site like imageshack (www.imageshack.us) You have to register, activate the account via email, then you can upload the pics you want to post. It is quite easy to follow once you're registered. When you upload, select the image details (little icons shown by side of your pic - find the right one.)
You get to see the pic and a table of code for various things like webpage etc. Select DIRECT and highlight then Copy the code. Back in your post use the insert image button and paste the code between the img /img tags.
Hope this helps
Phil

Paul,
We sat in these seats!!
It's the Porto Timoni run by Kostas (Bardis?) and his wife, they are a lovely couple aren't they?
The views from the apartments upstairs must be just as fantastic...imagine waking up to that in the morning. :-)
Eileenx
-
Thanks Eileen,
Yes it is a fabulous view, we stopped for a snack there and were made really welcome. Couldn't wish for better.
Paul
-
Paul,
Keith and I went up one night for a meal, we enjoyed it so much we took the rest of our party up the following day for snacks. It's so inexpensive...can you imagine anywhere else in the world with a view like that and prices so cheap?!
Eileenx
-
We went there as well after walking up there... Mike had a big breakfast (he felt he deserved it after that walk)... they were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us... even laughing when I swapped seats about 3 times, they were too narrow (or was I too wide?)
I dont mind being the Butt of their humour!
Fabulous views... glad you put your photo on it brought back lovely memories thanks!

Hi Eileen, What a good job I just gave a cuddle and didn't use names when we were at Porto Timo in May. I thought Spiro had it, and Kostas had stayed at the other one.
All these years and they haven't told me I have had their names mixed up. LOL. Viv
-
LOL...Viv maybe it's me that's got them mixed up! (http://easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-confused-smileys-294.gif) (http://www.loostime.com/)
Eileenx

First person to go out next week has a mission that is to find out who owns which and to get photo's of them with their respective propertie's. Viv
-
Viv, I've just taken a look at the business card for the Porto Timoni and the email address is that of Kostas. Still, it would be nice to see photos of each of the restaurants with their respective owners. (http://easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-cool-smileys-855.gif) (http://www.cheapsealants.com/)

I cant believe they havent said anything, if somebody kept calling me by my brother's name I would have to say some thing, just shows how lovely they are. By the way the porto timoni special salad is fantastic and very cheap as you only need one between two and even then it is all you can do to finish it. Lol Viv

where abouts is this fantastic place?
i would like to add it to my list thanks.

Hi Sue,
The Porto Timoni restaurant is up in Afionas.
In the 'square' you will see a little Olive wood gift shop. On the wall at the side of the shop there is a sign with an arrow pointing to Dionysos Restaurant (http://www.dionysoscorfu.com/). Follow the arrow, but on reaching Dionysos walk around the back towards the car park and you will see the sign for the Porto Timoni Restaurant.
It's well worth a visit.

Pete and I went 3 times in May and even with that walk it was well worth it.
The only thing is to stop at the Owl on the way there and back to get a drink. This isn't an excuse for a drink you need it. Lol. Viv

This isn't an excuse for a drink you need it. Lol. Viv
I think you too deserve it too. You both do brilliant with all that walking you do.

Hi
Yes folks it means going twice to eat or drink at these delightful places, which are a MUST for anyone visiting this area !
To help with sorting the 2 out here are photos of the 2 owners:
This is Spiros owner of the Dionysos Restaurant (the 1st one you reach) but you will often be served by his son Vasilis.
(http://www.agiosgeorgios.co.uk/images/spiros.jpg) (http://www.agiosgeorgios.co.uk/images/dionysos235.jpg)
and this is his brother Kostas the owner of the newer Porto Timoni Cafe (the one at the back)
(http://www.agiosgeorgios.co.uk/images/kostas.jpg) (http://www.agiosgeorgios.co.uk/images/timonicafe.jpg)

I remember spending a lot of time in the baby pool at the Galini.Poor Hannah couldn't get in.

I know Lisa, it was a bit short on space for you, me and Evie!
Looking forward to using the pool at Bardis Sun Hotel as it has a shallow end too doesnt it... the one at the BS Studios shelved a bit too steeply for me so I was a bit out of my depth most of the time.

thanks for the picture of George, he just dosn't seem to get much older, is he still in semi retirement, I do not think he will ever stop doing nothing, what a guy.
Cheers, Mick.

Where was that taken Graham?
That one was at Villa Mary in Aghios Gordios in 2006.
-
It looks fantastic Graham, were you staying there?
Eileenx
-
Yes, I stayed there, yes it was beautiful but by god there was a hell of a walk up the hill to it from the restraunts and tavernas in the evening!
-
it that you daughter hollie
shes very cute
-
I have three beautiful daughters Sue, what a lucky, but inevitably poor man, the oldest two live with thier mum and the youngest is with me and my wife! Sometimes they all come with us, sometimes it's just laurie (the youngest), just Laurie this time.
-
I thought it looked familiar Graham. We stayed in the red roof studios (Villa Mary studios) just to the right of your photo right on the beach. We were told we could use the pool at Villa Mary but it was too much of a climb and there was no shortcut that we could see through the trees and bushes, that was at the back of the Pink Palace Hostel.
We loved it there, we could almost fall off our balcony and we were on the beach. We felt totally cut off down there, it was so quiet and relaxing. We walked one night to the big restaurant near the Villa Mary for a Greek night and drinks... it was much easier coming down, that hill is a killer!
Totally beautiful area though and was a good introduction to our first Corfu holiday which was end Aug/September 2005.

Do you know what? I never knew there was a harbour in San Stef. We always carry on down the road towards the beach and the shops... Now that is somewhere we must walk to... Do you just turn left and follow the road once you are down the cliff walk?
-
BG
Yes that's more or less correct, just follow the road down the hill.
Paul

I am even more keen now to do that walk again! Somewhere we havent been yet is brilliant - something to look forward to and new photos to take!!! thanks!
I am not going to let Mike know and surprise him... there are a few things I havent let on about what has been going on in Arillas so he will have some surprises i.e. the new pools and the new Bar (Marias old shop)... by the way does anyone have a photo of that?

LOL BG, yes you just follow the road down to it. There is a little hut selling ice creams and ouzo! Facing the boats is a cove, the sea is so clear,loads of crabs. Even he remembered us last year.

Hi Sharon,
Did you know that there used to be a footpath from the cliff footpath right down to the harbour, as a matter of fact its still there but so over grown that when Pete and I tried it to get back to Arillas a couple of years ago we were scacted to pieces at only a couple of yards in.
Dimitris had taken us out and dropped us of at the harbour to walk back (we thought we were being clever) anyway when we got back we told him about our adventure and he said that when he got time he would try and find out how to go about getting it cleared as it used to be a really good walk. I wonder Dimitris did you ever manage to find out or with you being such a busy man did it just go out of your mind as it did ours untell now. lol Viv
-
Negg! Just managed to start typing am laughin so much! hahahahaha, the crab even tried to shake our hands, lol.

You are sooo right Terry... looking at your airport photos and seeing the haziness from
the heat made me go all wobbly inside... really exciting to get off that plane and feel the heat, all the familiar smells of Corfu.... my sunglasses come out, cardi off and I am away!
Only 6 weeks to go now!

I second that Blonde Girl!
Your pictures really capture that first sensation of getting off the plane & overwhelming excitement of being back in Corfu - especially the one leading up to the Arival hall - by that point I'm busrting to get through!
It's funny that a few simple photgraphs can be so evocative - thank you Terry for sharing with us - they are really very good indeed.

Very nice Terry - where is everybody!
-
I was thinking that... 8.20 p.m. you would think there would be somebody there already
-
Sadly, apart from Sundays when the local population have a day out at the seaside and they were heaving, Thalassa was often too quiet. But so was Tomas at Vavilas. It speaks volumes when the locals from all over Corfu choose them in front of all the others in Arillas and many told us so that night.
They have been slammed on the forum but it is not very fair. Without Spiros they would have been closed altogether this season. Many of us would have hated that. And we also ate some very good food and had very good service. But I do realise that this is because we are good friends of theirs
I understand that Yannis is an impossible act to follow, and truly wish he and Litsa were still there, but Spiros has made Thalassa possible this year, and with Steve and Adela has made quite a go of it. We are eternally grateful for that.

I'm glad you had that Z Mick, so that we can get back to A.
I love different pictures like that Lorry, and the rain photo has made me realise that I have never seen it rain in Arillas. I have only been twice though.
-
Terry, in early May and October you can get some fantastic storms, especially out at sea. I just love them and I cannot understand people running to get under shelter when they are as wet as they can get, you might as well just have a swim as you are. :-) Mick

Hear Hear Mick. They can be more enjoyable than the standard pool/beach thingy. Have never run for cover and never will...

"please ignore any twins" what's that all about then?
Amanda
-
"please ignore any twins"
Amanda,
I was trying to do a wide panorama by "stitching" photos together, and I was hoping that the picture would have been larger so more detail could be seen. If more detail could have been seen, you would have seen people twice. This is because when you move the camera for the sequence of photos people have moved, and you can see them in a different position on subsequent shots, so they look like twins.
-
I wondered about that too, Terry! Thanks for clearing that one up.
I have saved your very wide pic to my favourites - it's very good, and as Eric Morcambe would have said - you can't see the joins!
Cheers,
Lynn x

Thanks Terry!
There is a story with this next one. We were down at The Mirage and I was walking back from the loo, when I spotted this dude at the side of the pool, thinking it was dead I picked it up, only for it to start twitching in my hand. I quickly rushed back over to Cheryl & James with it still in my hand so I could single handedly get my camera out & turned on & set to macro etc before placing it on the grass. I was just about to take the shot where it jumped and landed on James's flip flop whilst still on his foot, Cheryl jumped & James kicked his flip flop off & it then landed near Cheryl! I wasn't flavour of the week for a few minutes but and the sunbathers behind did see the funny side. Got the shot though.........
G is for Grasshopper

That's fantastic Timbo. You have caught Arillas lowlife without Phil and Jen being involved. Takes quite a talent to do that.
They all think we are lovely so they tell us but they are making it up. I really identify with that startled frog...
The frog pic is really special. He sort of says to me "don't you think you should have had one less??" Could have been my dad...
Well done
Phil
-
Terry love the food photos, i'm drooling. Timbo, brilliant photos of the frog and grasshopper, and I dont think I would have been too impressed either if it had landed anywhere near me!
We heard the frogs in the little "stream" in may walking back to mathraki. They were so loud, doing their courting!

LOL Viv!! I remember that...think you should have asked permission before showing us in all our glory!!! What a wet holiday....but nevertheless true Arillas fun throughout. Not much sun but plenty of good food, wine and company....
-
Fantastic sunset Sharon.
-
Ha ha, great photos again, Viv!
(Anyone else going to own up? ;) )
Sharon, what a gorgeous sunset!

LOL suzanne, I knew Sandy and Viv were in it, anymore out there??
Sharon x

Viv and I could spill the beans but we'll leave it to the other three to own up....
-
It's a fantastic pic of all you Arillas girlies. Men aren't supposed to post about it but I will anyway. You all looked wonderful. Sandy in the middle, viv at the side, ah - I wouldn't dare get it all wrong.
As for beans you can spill all you want to. We will be too involved to notice. We both just loved the pic.
Phil and Jen
-
Phil how have you worked that out when I haven't even met you and justjen yet?...lol
-
Can anyone advise (Phil) which restaurants produce their own wine please? I had a lovely half caraffe at Vavillas a few years back and am keen to try some more.
Many thanks
-
We had some nice wine there as I remember too... recommend it!
-
If you like red wine, go for Thalassa's house red. Yannis gave us a 1.5 litre bottle to take home in 2002 (yes - we had spent most of the two weeks there and it was a goodbye gift. Little did he know we'd be back....)
It was amazingly mellow and good to drink. And it was just the same this July served by Spiros about 2 weeks ago. We were just too "tired and emotional" to finish it as holiday report says.
Amourada (at the corner - Vasillis Supermarket and the very pretty taverna opposite which is his) invited us to try their homemade wine last October. It was brilliant. And they are a wonderful family like all we have met in Arillas.

Regarding ARILLAS GIRLS PIC.
i DONT know who is who ha ha ha :) :)
Which one is Sandy and Viv
riggers...
-
Lol.
-
LOL I didnt know it would cause this much intrest seeing this photo again as it is already in the picture of the day archives.
A great thing to revisit if you havent looked at it for a while. A few of Sandy and I and a few other forum members but im not going to say which one's go with which date as the wholething was started by Dimitris so that family members and friends could see their loved one's, and look what it turned into every body looks forward to seeing every picture of the day. I bet Dimitris didn't think when it all started what a great idea he had. LOL Viv
-
Hi Sandy, viv and all the girls
Sad as we are, we recognised the photo from last time. We had sussed most of who was who then. We can't remember how though - probably alcoholic intuition....
Phil
-
Believe it or not Pete and I have never stopped at the Thrr Brothers when we have been on our walks, we will next year. Viv
-
I know it was October Viv....but was it 2004 or 2005?
-
Gosh now your asking. I think it was 2005 as it was the first time I met Aly think I already knew A ooo not giving any more names out.
Pete has just said it was 2005, I have a few more of our silly poses do you want me to send you them. It's really tickering me looking at them I look so different now.lol. Viv
-
Yes please do Viv...but let's keep them private this time if they are that silly!!!

Don't be spoilsports now. Lets be having them on here. :)

The Sunset from the Three Brothers is one of the best sunset photos I have seen.
Timbo,
I really like these wildlife photos, I reckon we could have another topic just for them.
-
Hi Terry, We already have Wildlife in Corfu on the Tell us your story, I tink maybe these great phot's should be on there as well.
Didn't like the subject of the last one so much but im really glad it was taken and I can see it from my computer and not be to close.lol. Viv

I wont bother putting the photo up but Jo could have Viv Waving Xcitedly she just forgot, every body does it some times its not really naughty, Terry. lol Viv
Timbo,The dragon fly is fantastic. Viv
-
Hey Timbo,
Just love your Dragonfly picture - you've got some serious talent!
:-)
-
Thanks, Viv & BeckyB, for every photo shown on here there are about 20 others that don't make it, but that's the way it goes when trying to snap wildlife I find, all worth it though when you get just one decent picture. :-)
-
I don't think you would see a better photo of a dragonfly anywhere. You should enter some competitions Timbo.
-
Just to add our words of admiration, Timbo. We both stared at if for ages. A fantastic picture. They use stuff like this in the Countryfile Calendar competition on BBC. You should think about entering.
All the very best
Phil and Jen
-
Whoops. Definitely a peroxide moment!! Oh well, nice to see that you are all paying attention!!

Just shown the dragonfly to my 11 year old nephew who said it was a drawing and now he cant wait to come to heaven to find one!

It is a really nice photo, and anybody who has been in the chatroom with John, Annie and the girls will know how nice they are. Annie should be very proud of the two girls because they are very funny but also very mature and polite. John is a real gentleman as well, and has a great sense of humour.
How about a K for Knitting, Nikki? :-)
(Shame about last night, John at Rotherham)

There are some very interesting photographs in Brouklis and it would be nice to see them on the forum. Perhaps Dimitris could give us a bit of a history lesson about them.

I had no inclination to take one home though... we already have an elderly mangy old cat and dont need another one for the next 18 yrs. (I do like cats really but the one we have now isnt very friendly).

I love your photos, far better than mine, who cares if Mike took most of them , you did the uploading and sorted them
Take Care
Mary

Thanks Mary... no skill on our part though I think..camera does it all, with the digitals they come all singing and dancing.. My daughter is the real qualified photographer in the family - she hasnt seen our photos yet !!
-
I love all the photos everybody, keep them coming, I sadly do not seem to own a camera so will not be joining you in posting any, perhaps will get myself one for next year.
-
Sue did you eat all that!!!!
-
Great photo's that sea bream looks lovely. If still open next week we will have one. Viv
-
Mmmmmm that Sea Bream looks delicious. I wish computers could transmit aromas.
Great Photos Sue, keep them coming.
-
We had sea bream several times last month, but not at Efi's sadly. Will put that right next time. But by the look of it I'll ask for a child's portion.....
Thomas at Vavilas always serves it and it is absolutely delicious there. But my best one was at Thalassa - perfectly cooked and full of flavours mmmmmmmmm......

You bet your life I ate it all..... Mike had most of the chips though..
Have you had skordalia... its mashed creamy potato loads and loads of garlic in it.. it is served cold but it has a really strong spicy bite because of the garlic... very nice with the bread or as a dip and Efi's mum makes it there and then.
Now we are on the subject of food...
The other thing that I found funny was that at the Amourada they did "Hot cheese dip".. so I thought I would give that a go... thought it would be heat hot... they meant spicy hot! (well they knew what they meant).
Another time in Zante we had "fresh tuna"... I thought it would be a tuna steak... but it came out completely round from the tin (not broken up), complete with oil from the tin and one single olive on it.. Well I know it was fresh, but didnt expect it from the tin like that. Now we know what to expect... anything!
Has anyone else had dishes from the menus turn up in unusual ways?
-
Now we're off thread (though it was prompted by that amazing pic of sea bream BG.....) I adore skordalia. Something with enough garlic in at last!
Phil
-
Unbelievable !
Susan at the Horizon waiting for a chance to eat her "Flaming sausage" !
This is how it was described in the menu.
It was one of those moments when everyone in the place stares as the waiter brought it over with 2 foot flames coming off it !
It was blazing for a good 5 minutes before Susan could start to eat it !

Hi Mary. It is between Makris and Vavilas restaurant. From the sea front walk round past Bardis Sun and onwards past Vavilas and you will find it. From where we stayed it was the nearest place to go.

I still haven't tried the Artemis yet. Must correct that soon.

If the weather is good next week we will buy one of their packed lunches and will let you know what it includes and the price.

What a fabulous picture Paul. You have captured the whole spirit of the Rainbow in one shot. It is such a great place to have FUN.
Thanks for posting it
Phil
-
aw paul c, you HAVE to tell us the story regarding the helmets, PLEASE, jinksy
-
Perhaps they are about to head into Corfu town hence the skid lids ;-)
-
Or maybe Eggys got the darts in hand. haha lol. Sorry matey.
riggers.....
-
always said those two were headbangers, so maybe they were gonne go loopy again, jinksy
-
Of course they were jinsky!
Spilling all the beans, Jimmy and Spiros always wore protective clothing when Eggy was up at the oche. PaulC missed the full face masks and armour suits they wore on our afternoons watching the darts....
HelsBels and Keith took the risk and stayed near the dartboard. So did Kev and Bev. But Jen and Phil sat well back and drank the doubles (see Eggy's earlier posts on Arillas Today) whenever we got our heads out from under the table trying to avoid the arrows flying in all directions.
501?????? More like "five go mad in the rainbow." Apologies to Enid Blyton....
Phil
-
I don't know about the darts Phil, but the night I took the pic there was an attack of low flying beer mats coming from all directions. As you know the rainbow bar is sort of circular and Jimmy and Spiros were caught in the crossfire.

Love to all,

Viv, we had the packed lunch from Artemis, we took it out on the boat with us. You choose what you want in it. We had two baguettes with ham salad and ham and cheese. Crisps, coleslaw and big bottle of water. It is packed into a cooler bag and it cost 9 Euros. We dropped the bag off later on.
We thought it was worth it, it kept the sandwiches nice and fresh for when we wanted them.

Great pictures Kev and Bev but did you have to put that one on with me on it again. :)

Hi all,
I've put the photo on twice because I like the way all 3 of us dancing ha ha!! Or perhaps it was a mistake - I might have put the wrong one on??
(http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1148/dsc0395qj5.jpg)
It should have been this one - the wine festival.

I found this brilliant site.
www.bagsoflove.co.uk/calendars/free-personalised-photo-calendar
you can download your photos of Arillas and put them on a calender... free!!
Comes through on email and you can print off as many as you like for family and friends.
Great idea!

Looks great, Sue!
Thanks for sharing this.

This is Tomas' mate Kostas, he does massages and offered us his services, he did the back of my neck and then billy. Tell you what, it worked. Billy has had a frozen shoulder for weeks and the next day it had gone!

I recognise those faces Sharon,lol.

Hya Sharon
I didn’t realise Kostas did massages, I have seen him round Arillas many times and just thought he was friends will all the restaurant owners and couldn't quite work out what he did, in fact dare I say it now I am looking at him he looks like a "irdresser."
Happy hols

Aw Barry, you just made me homesick!

Hi Sharon
Wow Kostas must be good I wish I'd known he did that while I was there or I would have asked for a back massage, I hurt my back on my stepper months ago and it still locks up now and again.
Here's to many happy hols
love
Mary
-
Hi Phil,
Glad the old legs are o.k. Yes we are both well, missing Arillas, looking at next year. Di was in Clarks Village the other week end. Hope You and Jen are fine, did hear of a liver in Corfu harbour with a bouy attached because it was a hazard to local shipping.

I need to cheer myself up because some of the people where I work have had to go on short time, and two have been made redundant . So......

Terry,
I meant to post something sooner today about your glorious pictures. What an eye you have! And you always take such imaginative shots - but not only that, the pictures you take always transport you back & really conjure up Corfu - well done you Terry & thank you so much for sharing them with us - they're cracking!
BeckyB :-)

Great photos Terry.. just the pick me up I needed!
-
K for Knockdown prices ( what a cheat to use this for K just because I wanted to show the Supermarket at Sidari).
This is where the other pic was taken. I must be sad, but I find the shopping expeditions quite exciting. Its interesting to see the different ranges of goods that are stocked and this supermarket has a large range.

I know what you mean Terry.. I love the big supermarkets... even the household goods seem fun...I love the tiny saucepans for coffee and the plastic froth makers, plastic table cloths...it just looks more fun and quirky than the UK. Then there's the food... It always amazes me that you can buy all the brands and I love the greek labels, buying it and getting home and dont know how to use it because you cant understand the directions!
-
Come on Terry, Im sure you can get through to Z dont stop now we are enjoying seeing your pics to much. Viv
-
I Don't think I have enough to get Z Viv, but I will try.

Oh wow! Been up the pub for 2 hours with Randy and Vix, and all of these stunning pictures appear on the forum. Have been on and off the forum all day and now have so much to see.
Clouds, Beautiful, Akti Pool and Gravia are wonderful examples of how Marika can capture what we all miss as we walk by. You all need to visit her website
www.marika75.webs.com (http://www.marika75.webs.com) to see the talent of our forum photographer. But we also have Mark whose work was showcased in Ammos all summer and who is also a major talent. Tried for ages to find a web address for him too, but failed. Maybe he can post it here.
I have so enjoyed your photos Terry. Perceptive of the sights in Arillas, like that window pic. Perhaps it is Jen and my Glastonbury lifestyle that we see all the sights but remember the people. We never seem to record the place, only the people. Will post lots on p for people...

Wow Marika, youve done it again. I know when you have been to a special place you have special memories but you make extra special photo's as well. Sorry I missed you by acouple of hrs. Love Viv
-
Thanks for helping me out with the photographs Marika and Mick. I was trying to get to Z as Viv had suggested but I was struggling a bit.
Micks photos are really good but I have to say that Marika has gone to another level of photography with her latest photos. They are amazing and her eye for artistic interpretation of scenes and objects must be a natural gift to her.
You are a Star Marika x

Great piccies Kes !
Hope you're chuffed with that camera !
-
Ha Ha...it knows more tricks than Tommy Cooper..trouble is most of them are beyond me.....spent all last week reading the instructions...to no avail ...left it on Auto...
-
Well done Kes you got a gooden there, I also leave mine on auto unless Pete gets hold of it then it goes into modes but I always put it back. Great photo's. Viv

Very nice photos Kes :-) Thank you that we all can have a look for them :-)

How did you light that Marika? Couldn't have been just the Moon, surely? Gravia looks very dark but the beach looks like daylight. A beautiful picture...
love
Phil

Thanks Marika.... that last photo of yours is amazing...

Thank you Phil :-)
It was just the moon ;-)
No :-) the same, how I make the photo with the tree :-)

Love the water kes. You could have been David Hockney. Bet you'd like his millions.........
And Marika, we look at the tree all day, on our living room wall. It's nearly as beautiful as you are.
Lovely to meet you
Phil
-
Ha Ha...Millions No....just enough to let me spend a few extra weeks each year in Arillas....
-
Kes , don't know if you're camera settings set up is the same as mine but if you have a "Scene" setting put in on "starry sky" setting and then you should have a choice of shutter speeds....."15secs" "30secs" and "90secs".
If you select one of these settings you can take night pictures (without flash) and with practice the results are pretty good ( ala Marika ).
I took some in the dark and they come out like it's in daylight.
Happy snapping !
-
Sorry Kes forgot to mention....if you're taking night shots on the slow shutter speeds use a tripod or put the camera on something steady.
-
Night shot ......no flash.

Barry that is amazing. The composition is much more than the camera settings.

Thanks Marika.
The table thing is the box in the boat hire stand.
I didn't have a tripod so I sat it on there.
-
Barry...yes i have seen the setting for starry night ..not tried it yet ,That shot of yours is
Brilliant.... as is Marika`s
-
You certainly know how to use that little camera of yours Marika.. a lovely night shot.
Nice photo too Barry, keep it up you are doing well.
-
Baldy Barry & Marika,
I'm LOVING those night shots - they're gorgeous. Oh boy, how wish my camera hadn't pegged it when we were there a few weeks ago - at least I can console myself with all these terrific shots.
Well done to both & thank you :-)

Barry is that using the starry night setting?...its still a v good pic...I cant beleive I was in Arillas for a week and never tried that setting...Being brain dead I thought it was for taking pictures of the sky......!!!! honest now don`t laaugh
-
Love that picture, Barry, including the white lines - maybe just adds a bit of authenticity.........if you know what I mean!
Lynn xx
-
Yes it's "starry night" setting Kes.
I can't claim to be a camera expert and I only found this setting by mistake as I blundered through all the settings to see what they did.
Must admit that after a couple of minutes reading the manual that I start to glaze over so I usually mess around with gadgets till I suss them out.
Thanks for the comments Lynn !
-
Isn't that what all those "settings" and "buttons" are for? Or have I got it wrong all these years? All that paperwork which goes straight into the recycling actually means something? No. Agree with Barry -
I usually mess around with gadgets till I suss them out.
But then I can never take pictures as beautiful as Marika's...
Phil
-
If i try to mess about with gadget, i would end up recycling my camera.

Breathtaking! The sea is so still, the light is so bright - what a fabulous view from the jetty. It took me there in my mind...
Well done kes.
-
Must admit that week in October the weather was tops....In all the years we have been to Arillas I have never known it so calm...
-
Do you have t rub it in that when we were at the airport the weather was perfect, mind you we had a lovely week and I mut agree that it was one of the best octobers we have had. Viv
-
amazing photo Kes. I dont think I have ever seen it that still..

I wanted to add my penny's worth regarding your piccie Kes.
It's a wonderful picture - it really is.

Paul - the photo of the torpedo in the square at Magoulades brings back memories of sitting nearby watching the traffic threading its´way through the village
-
It's a cracking picture isn't it?
I was trying madly to remember the name of the village as I know we've passed it on several occasions - thanks Geoffrey :-)
PS: I take it there's no sort of charge/explosives left in it anymore?!
BeckyB :-)
-
Magoulades. Torpedo. Arillas. Paleokastritsa. Agios Stefanos. Acharavi. Roda. Sidari. Kavaddades. Afionas. Just bring it all on. My Corfu...
Phil
-
PS: I take it there's no sort of charge/explosives left in it anymore?!
BeckyB
Maybe that´s why the big house at the back of the square is for sale!
-
Is that so Geoffrey? If that's right, you can kind of see why can't you :-)
I'm not all sure how comfy I'd feel living opposite a muckle torpedo! :-)
-
Is that so Geoffrey? If that's right, you can kind of see why can't you
Yes Becky, see what you mean, but I know the English lady-owner, and resident in the house, and that´s not the reason for the sale. Beautiful house, totally renovated, used to be the doctor´s house complete with apothecary in the yard. If I win the lottery that´s where I´ll be living in future. Very handy for daily walks to Arillas and beautiful views.
-
There is another torpedo, in armenades i think. It's lying at the side of the road. Doesn't look in such good condition as the on at magoulades. I've often wondered why it's there, it's not the type of thing you would just leave lying around is it?
-
I think it would be a wonderful place to live Geoffrey , I can quite see why you would want to live in such a glorious spot.
What an interesting history the house seems to have :-)
-
Thanks for posting the Torpedo pic, Paul.
I have always wanted to take a photo of it myself, but I have never found a safe place to park. I always seem to get a very unsure driver in front of me and a very impatient driver behind me when I go through the village.

Marika,
Stunning shots! I try more technical shots with my camera but never achieve results like yours. Do you use a tripod for these?

Martin, for these photos I didn't use a tripod, free hand :-)
Only for night shots I use one! :-)

You have a fantastic natural talent Marika. I really hope that one day you can have a successful career in photography.
There are too many photographs published these days, that have been "manipulated" by software. Your photos are just natural, as seen by the camera. Great artistry.
-
Thank you Terry for your beautiful words and I hope also,
that one day my day is coming :-)
But it is not easy! We will see, what happened in the future :-)

Now this thread has been revived I think we are on the letter D, so here is my contribution - a photgraph taken in 2007 in Arillas.
PJ
-
Nearly a year since the last post on this topic, so I thought I would revive it so that newcomers and guests can see what a great place Arillas is.
A quick reminder of the idea behind this topic :-
This is a Photograph A to Z of our ( the forum members) holiday memories. There are no rules to this except people post one photo at a time with the next letter in the alphabet. This could be a placename, taverna, natural feature, animal etc etc - use your imagination. I wonder how many times we can go through the alphabet?
And since the last post by patrick was "D" then :-
"E" is for "Evening on Arillas Beach"
(http://www.geoff-and-sue.freehighway.net/images/539d.jpg)
-
F is for Finished! (Could be Favourite, and maybe G as well, since it WAS Galactoboureko at Brouklis.)

Nice ones Phil & Geoff - hope a few more forum friends will start posting again with their photographs. Meanwhile have had more trouble finding an O, but have settled on a view of the Splish Splash pool which Julia, my dear wife, took framed by the leaves of one of the olive trees which give welcome shade at the shallow end of the pool.

Back to 22nd September 2009 when we were at St Spiridon Bay on the North Coast of Corfu. We heard a bell ringing and thought it must be the monastery nearby, but then a herd of goats came into view and the billy goat was wearing a large bell round his neck. The photo is of NUMEROUS NANNY goats.

Oh dear Jo
I am disqualifying you for not conforming ha ha - see why below!

And as the next letter is t - tut tut!!!!!!!!!!!
Bells lol xx
-
Well I'm confused now Bella.
If Jo is disqualified then shouldn't the next letter be "O" again??
Or are we moving on to "T" on the grounds that Jo's pictures were really great so we can overlook the lack of alliteration?
In which case it must be T for Terrific Tree - the "new" Olive Tree at the Horizon.

Now the letter X usually causes problems. However Terry W solved it the first time round with his word xenodocheionology (study or love of hotels). Now the last thing I think I am is xenophobic (having abnormal fear or hatred of the strange or foreign), so just to get this letter sorted here is a picture of me confirming my love of hotels and my love of foreign, especially Greek, places.

Pat

I love this thread. Is someone can put a numpty guide o how to post photos then I would be most grateful.
-
Dear Sonia
To put pictures on here you first need to have a collection of photos on one of the photo sharing sites. Examples are Flickr and Photobucket, but there are many more.
Once your photo is on one of them they offer you the chance to copy a code which you paste in your posting on the forum. Usually they offer several types of code for different things like blogsites, forums etc.
I used Flickr for my last photo and the code known as BBC (I think it means bulletin board code).
Its a bit finicky but does work - so suggest you have a try and see how you get on. Am sure we'd all love to see some of your photos.
If you click on the legend under my photo it will take you to Flickr and you can see hundreds of my Arillas photos!
Best wishes
Pat
-
Thanks Pat. I will have a go. I got a far recently as setting up photo bucket so just got to figure out the next step.

Letter H is next so shall we call this one HIRED Car -

This is the north beach Arillas and I call it IN BLOOM referring to the lovely yellow broom on the Cliffside.
I got this pic from Photobucket following these instructions:
Go to Photobucket;
Select the photo you wish to put on the forum;
To the right of the photo you will see SHARE THIS PHOTO and underneath it 4 options:
For the Arillas Forum select IMG by clicking on IMG and the box beside it will turn yellow and say copied;
Go to the forum and start a post and then use CTRL + V to paste your code into the entry.
You then write your message before the code or after the code.
Hope this helps Sonia (and anyone else hoping to post some photos)
Pat
-
Thanks Pat. Been trying to do it from photo bucket app as my photos are on my tablet. It gives various options when you click share . These are options like Facebook and TripAdvisor. There is an option copy to clipboard. I have done that and then copied it but it comes up with (IMG)(IMG). Do you know what to do then?

Well done Sonia. Some super photos. I like the jetty one which is from an unusual angle. Don't know if you contributed to getting the bench put up, but am very chuffed that we forum members got it put up. Didn't get to sit on it this year as it was always occupied - its good that its so very popular. Hope they put it away for safe keeping over the winter before any more storms take their toll.

and a good taverna

Pat - Mathraki is beautiful but not a lot there. It was very hot when we went, too hot for the beach really even with a sun umbrella. There is a taverna at the bottom and also one further up the island. If you like walking and its not too hot then there are a few things to see but not much. Glad we went to see it though. We didn't see any naturists on the beach thankfully and in fact there were only 3 other people on it which was a couple and their son that we came over on the boat with and got chatting to them and then bumped into them a few times back in Arillas as they were staying at Kaloudis. It is worth a trip but I would go on a day that is not very hot and be content to just have a stroll and chill out on the beach.

Kevin - The wedding looks to me like it is at the Marina Hotel. We were there for a baptism party and a similar table arrangement was in place for 50 guests - great fun watching all the generations, some in their best outfits and some distinctly casually dressed.
I think we must be up to the letter 'B' now, so there can only be one candidate for that:

This is a Photograph A to Z of our ( the forum members) holiday memories. There are no rules to this except people post one photo at a time with the next letter in the alphabet. This could be a placename, taverna, natural feature, animal etc etc - use your imagination. I wonder how many times we can go through the alphabet?
Kevin - Quote above from Terry who kindly started the thread. Sorry, I have been posting more than one photo at a time. I got so carried away now I know how to do it. Lol.
So we are on one photo per person at a time and in alphabetical order. I think we are now on C - on your marks, go!

Hi All
C FOR CACTUS
Prickly pear cactus has been a staple of the Mexican and Central American diet for thousands of years. In parts of the U.S. it has been gaining popularity as an exotic, gourmet and healthy addition to one's diet. The prickly pear plant has three different edible sections: the pad of the cactus (nopal), which can be treated like a vegetable, the petals of the flowers, which can be added to salads, and the pear (tuna), which can be treated like a fruit. They grow wild throughout the American southwest, down to South America and up to Canada. The ones you may find at a local store or farmers market will surely originate from a commercial nopal farm.

Hi All
P FOR PONTIAN LYRA In the Brouklis near the toilers on the wall
The LYRA of the Greeks of Pontos (Black Sea region of Asia Minor) is also known as the "Kementche". It is the main instrument used in Pontian music. It is a bottle-shaped, 3-stringed fiddle played in the upright position. It is sometimes played by resting it on the knee when sitting, and sometimes it is held out in front.
Its small light weight design allows it to be held up for a long time and in some cases the musician would follow the first dancer around (even dance as well). This is mainly due to the Not so loud sound of the lyra.
The lyra usually has three strings which have several tunings. Common tunings include: a-a-d, e-a-d, and many others in 4ths (the strings are of 2 octaves ... La, Mi, Ci). Since the instrument was often played alone, the tuning was often done according to the preference of the musician and his voice's range.
The musicians usually play two or all three strings at the same time, utilizing the open string(s) as a sort of drone to the melody. Sometimes they play the melody on two strings at once, giving a primitive harmony in fourths. They tend to play with many trills and embellishments, and with the unusual harmonies.

Hi All
V FOR VIDOS PRISON
(http://i.imgur.com/vJPNf5x.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/nqdpNsm.jpg)
The small, wooded isle of Vidos lies just half a mile from Corfu Town's Old Port, allowing you to glimpse the
historical buildings of the Old Town and St. Spiridon's church, framed by pine trees and clear blue sea. Known in ancient times as the Island of Hera, sister of Zeus and goddess of marriage, the seemingly tranquil paradise of Vidos has lived through much history. Under Venetian rule, which dominated Corfu Greece from the 15th century to the early 18th century, tunnels were built linking Vidos with the main island. Criminals were tried at the Old Fortress in Corfu Town, and then transported through the tunnels to Vidos island , which was once Corfu's 'Alcatraz'
The isolated remains of the prison and its solitary confinement area can still be found today. Vidosisland had
always been a strategic point in Corfu's defences, and following the departure of the Venetians, Vidos island was fortified under French governance. Vidos also gained its name from the French. The last foreign power in Corfu was the British, who turned Vidos into an almost impenetrable fortress, before destroying their own and all the previous fortifications on their departure. They also demolished the church of Agios Stefanos, which had been built by the
Saints Jason and Sosipatros. A final chapter in Vidos' island history came during the First World War.
By following forest paths, you can discover the haunting Serbian Mausoleum, monument to some 1,232 Serbian soldiers who lost their lives to plague and starvation while defending Corfu's freedom. Inside, all of the soldiers are commemorated and offerings of flowers and candles are strewn amongst the photographs and memories.
A memorial book is also provided for those who wish to add their gratitude and thoughts. Today, the island of Vidos is a more peaceful escape, and a favourite amongst Greeks and tourists alike. The pine-strewn paths lead you through the island's history, but also to its present beauty. Stunning, secluded beaches and quiet forest spots can be found, as well as a sole taverna at which you can enjoy the traditional food and spectacular view across the sea to Corfu Town.
Another point of interest is a beautiful old house, which was used in the filming of 'Fedora', a 1970s film set in
Corfu and starring Michael York. Vidos also accommodates the Kerkyra Bird and Wildlife sanctuary, and you will come across the wild rabbits, pheasants and goats who call Vidos home as you explore Corfu island.
Many resorts on the East coast of Corfu offer organised excursions to Vidos island , but it is also possible to visit the
island using a regular boat service from Corfu Town's (Kerkyra)Old Port
I would love to go down in to the tunnels

Thanks Kev-bev for that wonderful posting. I was completely unaware of Vidos and it intriguing history so, not for the first time, have learned something new.

What a beautiful picture! Who is the artist, Kevin?

For the letter 'C' I think we could do CLIFF - this photo was taken on 11th September 2013 shortly after a cliff rockfall buried a dozen sunbeds towards the North Beach. Fortunately the occupants were all in the sea at the time.

I think actually its 'V' so shall have a scout round for a 'V' suitable pic. I think the torpedo is at Magaloudes. I always hope to stop there and take a photo but usually there is nowhere to safely park! Perhaps next year.

Had to go back to September 2012 for a letter 'V' and I think VIEWPOINT fits the bill. This as you probably all know is at Afionas and is overlooking St George's Bay North

Hi Pat

I was told that there are three torpedoes on view in Corfu. One in Magoulades, one in Corfu Town outside the Navy base and another in the south of the island.

and one in Afionas , as well. The K & B pic is not that one, neither Magoulades or I think Corfu Town.

Thanks Truth and Jo for your comments. I love to know the story behind things I see (and photograph) - perhaps it comes of being nosy - but then my whole career was spent being nosy so I can't help it. Am already president of the local Probus club so can't take on any more heavy responsibilities - perhaps we might look to Jo to be President of the A to Z club!!

On 7th September 2013, Billy Kaloudis took us in his speedboat to Ericousa (which means heather island), and we enjoyed a tour of the island, a visit to the refurbished WINDMILL and a meal at one of the tavernas, followed by an afternoon on Porto, one of the lovely beaches.

Ereikoussa - by the old windmill (https://flic.kr/p/g3gbe8) by pj's memories (https://www.flickr.com/photos/pjsmemories/), on Flickr
From Wikipedia: Ereikoussa (Greek: Ερείκουσα , Italian: Merlera) is an island and a former community of the Ionian Islands, Greece. It is one of the Diapontia Islands, an island complex to the northwest of Corfu. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality of Corfu, of which it is a municipal unit. It is located off the northwestern coast of the island of Corfu, and is almost equidistant from Corfu to the southeast, Mathraki to the southwest, and Othonoi to the west. There is only one town on the island, also named Ereikoússa. Its population was 496 at the 2011 census and its land area is 3.7 square kilometres (1 sq mi). The island is rich in green forests, filled with cypress, and olive trees. It has two beaches, Porto (Πόρτο) and Braghini (Μπραγκίνι); the names are of Italian origin, and date back to the period of Venetian rule. Braghini is rarely visited because it is further away from the main part of the island.

Datura is a genus of nine species of poisonous vespertine flowering plants belonging to the family Solanaceae. They are commonly known as daturas, but also known as devil's trumpets,[1] not to be confused with angel's trumpets, its closely related genus Brugmansia. They are also sometimes called moonflowers, Jimsonweed, devil's weed, hell's bells, thorn-apple, and many more. Its precise and natural distribution is uncertain, owing to its extensive cultivation and naturalization throughout the temperate and tropical regions of the globe. Its distribution within the Americas and North Africa, however, is most likely restricted to the United States and Mexico and Southern Canada in North America, and Tunisia in Africa, where the highest species diversity occurs.
All species of Datura are poisonous, especially their seeds and flowers.

If its good enough for Terry its good enough for me, so here is my contribution: A photo taken by Julia of me reading my book on our balcony at the Horizon in June 2007 - the same year this thread began!

I like the pic of little Billy at the Kaloudis - have spent many happy hours there. However for X have moved to Paleocastritsa for a photo of me down on the beach wearing my Cotton Traders shirt on September 8th, 2016. What has that to do with X you may wonder. Well the word xilinous means "of, like or pertaining to cotton", so I think my shirt qualifies!

More work needs to be researched on that "cotton like" word.
Where, Patrick , did you find that little word?? - We are curious. Right now the suspense is "KILLING-US" or xilinous, who knows!
Negg

I found it on a web site of unusual words:
http://phrontistery.info/x.html (http://phrontistery.info/x.html)
Perhaps you remember Terry Warner found a word for hotel lovers some time ago - xenodocheionology - I suspect he got it from the same source.
Hope the weather warms for you before your boiler oil bill reaches a million euros!

HI ALL
Y FOR YAMAS
Definition: You'll be hearing "Yasou" as a greeting all over Greece - but what exactly is being said? The word is one of those wonderful multi-purpose terms, which is used along with its more formal cousin, Yassas. Both words mean, roughly, "Your health!" and can be used as either a greeting or, less frequently, a toast when drinking - usually raki or ouzo in a traditional setting, but it can be used just as correctly when imbibing a pina colada or any drink.
Yasou is the more familiar version, used among equals or to supposed "inferiors" such as children. "Yassas" is more respectful, a bit old-fashioned, and is ideally used when addressing an older person. Tourists will often hear "Yassas" from Greeks in the tourist industry, since you are the presumably honorable and honored guest.
"Yamas" is a similar term but is only used in the context of drinking - you would not use it as a greeting on its own.

HI ALL
H FOR HOLY TRINITY METEORA
The Holy Trinity Monastery (Greek: Μονή Αγίας Τριάδος) (also known as Agia Triada, Ayías Triádhos, Ayia Triada; all meaning "Holy Trinity") is an Eastern Orthodox monastery in central Greece, situated in the Peneas Valley northeast of the town of Kalambaka. It is situated at the top of a rocky precipice over 400 metres high and forms part of 24 monasteries which were originally built at Meteora, one of the oldest still existing of the Meteora monasteries (Meteora means "suspended in the air" in Greek). Six of the 24 monasteries are still active and open to visitors. The church was constructed between the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and is included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites titled Meteora. The monastery was featured in the 1981 James Bond film, For Your Eyes Only.

It could be a the Oleander hawk-moth, Daphnis nerii
Metamorphosis
December 19, 2009 by Krishna Mohan
When I returned to my in-laws place at Bondel, Mangalore, I was eagerly greeted by my daughter who showed this plump green caterpillar which she sighted on the flowering bush in their garden. She had seen the similar caterpillar earlier at her school backyard and wanted to know the identification. There were 3 caterpillars on that Crape jasmine (Tabernaemontana divaricata) plant. They were caterpillars of the of the oleander hawk-moth.
(http://i.imgur.com/usauHXJ.jpg)
The Oleander hawk-moth, Daphnis nerii (Linnaeus, 1758), one of the most widely distributed species of sphingid in the world, is known to occur in Africa, southern Europe, Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, Yunnan (south China), Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, and North Borneo, and has been introduced to southern Japan, Hawaii, and Guam. Its vernacular name refers to the oleander, Nerium oleander (family Apocynaceae), on which its larvae feed, among other members in its family of poisonous, laticiferous plants. Incidentally, the Oleander was also first described by renowned Swedish naturalist, Carolus Linnaeus in 1753. I had the great opportunity of photographing this moth earlier which I documented on this website here and here.
Entire body of this caterpillar was a pleasant apple green, with a straight, dorso-lateral row of small, aqua-marine dots from its second to seventh abdominal segments, with a chalky white, longitudinal band immediately above this. There was also a scattering of distinct, white dots from its first to fifth abdominal segments. Its spiracles were jet black, outlined with white. On its third thoracic segment, there was a prominent pair of ocelli (A marking that resembles an eye), consisting of an outer, Dark Blue ring with a whitish blue center, clearly advertised when its defensive posture (head tucked under) was adopted.
Its tail horn was relatively short and had a rounded tip. There was a sparse distribution of low, short spines over the entire tail horn, which was largely citrus-yellow. It was voraciously feeding on Crape jasmine leaves and excreting large greenish black pellets. Since it was dark we decided to visit and photograph it next day.
Next day morning when we went to visit the caterpillar again we just couldn’t find any apple green caterpillar. Previously apple-green body had transformed to a dirty orange on the flanks and an olive-brown on the dorsum. A symmetrical pair of round, black patches had also appeared on the top of its first thoracic segment, just posterior to its head.
The thick rings of its false eye spots had darkened to a black outline. The yellow of its posterior tail horn had now darker orange. This was pre-pupal metamorphosis of the caterpillar. What we saw yesterday was the final instar version of this caterpillar.As we were observing the caterpillar was descending to the ground. Then it dropped to the ground and started burrowing deep into the soil to pupate. I did not disturb its path and let it continue. In another 10days I was sure it is going to emerge out of its pupa and brilliantly colored oleander hawk moth which I had previously documented on my website.
(http://i.imgur.com/97r8luC.jpg)
Descriptions and illustrations of the larva and pupa of the oleander hawk-moth were provided previously by Bell & Scott (1937), with more recent works by Pittaway (1993) and Pittaway & Kitching (2009). Throughout its broad geographical distribution, the combined list of documented larval host plants for the oleander hawk-moth comprises no fewer than 32 genera in 12 families, clear indications of a polyphagous diet. However, there appears to be a strong preference for plants in the family Apocynaceae, with at least 17 genera (more than half) recorded. A most probable advantage of consuming potentially poisonous plants in this family would be the chemical defense that the larvae would be able to derive from them. For example, the leaves and other parts of the oleander contain a potent concoction of cardiac glycosides (cardenolides), such as oleandrin, which can cause nausea, vomiting, weakness, irregular pulse and decreased heart rate. The oleander has even been responsible for occasional fatalities in humans. Thus the plants in the Apocynaceae would confer the larvae considerable deterrence against a variety of predators.

How very interesting - the life cycle of the oleander hawk moth. Thanks for sharing that - I learn something new every day.
Now on to the letter R. I reckon the R is for RAILINGS - photograph by Julia on 13th September 2016 at the Kaloudis Village.
