Molyvos Christmas Fayre 2013The weather for the Molyvos Christmas Fayre was beautiful, and people from all over Lesvos came to enjoy the fun. Snow was promised by the organisers, and YES, it did snow!

Each year the school playground is the home for the Molyvos Christmas Fayre. The event raises money for the school in Molyvos and each year it seems to get bigger and better. Of course Santa popped in to check that all the children were being good. There was lots of singing, lots of dancing and a variety of stalls to enjoy. Including the essentials like Hot Dogs and Glüwein.

Molyvos welcomes the Azamara

Cruise Ship AzamaraThe cruise ship Azamara was at anchor outside Molyvos today. It is not often that cruise ships visit here, which is a huge pity. The views of the village and castle from the ship would be fantastic.

I decided to have a look at the operators web site. Sadly they have some key facts wrong. “Rhodes is the largest Greek island.” Sorry guys but Rhodes is the 4th largest Greek island. Oh well, never let the truth get in the way of a good advertising campaign!

I hope that those that came ashore enjoyed their visit and will decide to make a proper visit next year.

Day 1 of the Aegean Regatta

The Aegean Regatta has now left Molyvos. What an amazing few days it has been. The Regatta brings a vibrancy and urgency to Molyvos which is normally totally relaxing. I am sure that everyone who visited during this time will take away memories of a very different Molyvos.

This is a fantastic video of the start of the Regatta from YouTube. You might not speak Greek but the images are stunning.

At last I can tell you about a project I have been helping the Tourist Association with. To mark the 2013 Aegean Regatta, ELTA (the Greek Post Office) is releasing a set of 10 Aegean Regatta Postcards in a folder. They feature landscapes from Petra, Molyvos and Skala Sykaminias. I am really pleased to be able to tell you that 7 of the images used in the folder and postcard set are mine. My 15 minutes of fame has arrived at last!

Aegean Regatta PostcardsThe sets are available now from the Post Office in Molyvos and will also be available from a kiosk in Molyvos Harbour during the Regatta weekend. They cost €7.80 for the set, a real bargin.

If you can’t get to Molyvos and would like a set, simply send me an email and I will give you details of how we can get them to you.

Who will you send your Aegean Regatta Postcards to?

There are also special commemorative sets of 4 envelopes and 10 stamps available on line directly from Hellenic Post’s philately website.
