BOATS IN THE TIME OF COLERA

It has been an interesting summer, a summer without crowds and big noises…very quiet and reflecting.

Where mass tourism usually invades beaches, land and sea, this year not many tourists made it, to visit the beautiful island of Corfu.

And myself, I spend the summer enjoying peace on the beaches with my photo camera in hand to catch all the boat owners and captains on their small, big and enormous vessels. Here are a few.

THOUSANDS OF SEA SHELLS

London-based multimedia sculptor Rowan Mersh creates mesmerizing textural artworks with seashells. The seashells are from sustainable shellfish farmers and harvesters from around the world.

TAKE IT EASY, LEMON-SQUEEZY

LEMON SQUEEZY is one of the products created by Lili Gabbiano.

It is a fantastic lemon syrup, hand made from the organic juicy lemons of Corfu Island, Greece.

A refreshing soft drink for the hot summer days or mixed with the Greek local spirits for a more entertaining, alcoholic experience.

Different Ways of preparation:

soft drink or alcoholic drink


Soft drink mix:

Mix 1/8 lemon squeezy and 7/8 water in a glass, add some ice and drink.
(if you want it more sweet, add more syrup, if you want to have it less sweet, add less syrup)


fizzy soft drink mix:

add soda or fizzy mineral water instead of the water, same measurements as above.


KERKYREAN SPACE BALL (alcoholic drink)

MIX 1/8 LEMON squeezy, 1/8 TSIPURO OR RAKI, 6/8 WATER AND some ICE (add more Tsipuro or raki if you want it more strong)


OUZO LEMONADA (alcoholic drink)

MIX 1/8 LEMON SQUEEZY, 1/8 OUZO, 6/8 SODA OR MINERAL WATER AND some ICE (add more ouzo if you want it more strong)


garnish all with a slice of lemon.
