The daughter’s of Bill Cunliffe, Kathy and Caroline will be holding a small memorial event in Vlichos on Tuesday the 1st of May to celebrate the life of one of the island’s most beloved characters “Mister Bill”. Friends and co inmates are welcome to attend. On the beach at 13.00hr, and for those who may be so inclined, an optional lunch afterwards at the Enalion taverna.

The old saw, March 1st may be ‘In like a Lion and Out like a Lamb” seemed too true this year. While the white sprinkle seen across from the Rock will be most unimpressive to those from more Northern latitudes, it is a chilly start to the month for us permanent inmates. Kalo Mena everyone, lets hope its warmer ‘lamb-time’ soon for all (Paska is only a month or so away).

Hydra is building an extensive and secure new parking lot!!
The unique difference that because the island is a motor free zone, one has to travel several miles across sea to get to (and from) it.
The increasing popularity of visitors driving to Metoxi (directly across from the Rock), and vehicle security concerns has compelled the construction of the new lot.It is nearing completion and should be ready for the new season.

Maggie’s daughter, Simone, asked that we post this card in Maggie’s memory. For those who would like to contact her, Simone can be reached via e-mail at .
