Light wind from south

Milapota day 3. Perfect climate and fun waves. But i have fever and a sore throut. Always something wrong with me here.

Far out bar

George and Stephano. S liked to take a pic of me but i prefer to be behind the camera.

On vid rocks

Back on the rocks. No people.

1978: Trying to find the beach

On the way to the beach. I think it is the feet of my boyfriend (of the time).

1975: The donkey path to Milapota

The donkey path to Milapota. We always walked from the beach to the village and back. Twice a day.

1975: Writing postcard

We didn't phone or mail or text, but sent one or another postcard. To get together with friends travelling around was not easy. They had to know your present Poste restante location.

1975: People at Milapota

On the beach café that nowadays would be where Delphini is.

1975: My travel companion

M on one of the two beach hang outs.

1975: Me then

Me, E, on the beach.

1975: Neighbours on the beach

Our neighbours on the beach. A bit annoying sometimes.

1975: Sleeping room on the beach

Here we stayed. By the bushes.

1975: Camping and nudism is forbidden

The Delphini area seen from the rocks July 1975. Two restaurants, one bus, same beach.
Some slept in tents, we slept on the beach.

George: My best holiday in Ios

Georg writes about his best holiday in Ios in the summer of 1977. We've probably met.

On their back

Maybe maybe a cultural difference. Some female collinies stay on their back, some tan on their bellies. But they all behave the same within their community. The men run around pretending to be sporty. The girls see nothing.

Italian girls

Always on their bellies.

Happy hour happy pizzeria

Nice place in middle of Milapota. Happy light.

Milapota close down
