Armata 2009

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone can tell me, on what date the Armata falls this year.  Thanks  

Could you help me?:)

In 2009 I was in Spetses, and worked there for Panagioti Berzovitis at Balcony.

I worked there for more than 1 month, and I would like to go back this summer, and I'd like to find a job again. Could anyone please help me, because I can not find a contact adress to the places I know there. (Socrates, Spetsa...)

So I really would like to ask you to help me, with some emailadresses!

thanks a lot!

And then, this way I wish all the best for Nico, who has a clothshop and he is the nicest man I've ever met, same good things for Panos, who work at the Jewelry Shop, Nico who has the lottery and cigarette shop, Nina, Yannis and Lefteris at the Hotel Star!


Family History Research

I am hoping that someone may be able to advise on how to go about doing family history research in Spetses I have family that was from Spetses and I am trying to locate any and all information on them.  I am trying to trace our lines to see if we have any living family in Greece as well as learn more about our past.  I am unsure how to proceed as I have only a few names and a few dates.  I only speak and write English does this mean I will not be able to proceed?

GRAFFITI PROBLEM IN SPETSES NEEDS ATTENTION

I am a Greek American and I visit Spetses every year. After falling in love with Spetses in 2001, I even made a documentary film about Bouboulinaand showed it during the Armata festival in 2005 with the help of Philip Demertzis-Bouboulis.


Greek Family in London looking for Greek-speaking Nanny

I have been asked by a contact of mine about finding a Greek speaking girl to look after three children in London.
 
Here are the requirements that were sent to me:

  • she must have some years experience in child care and references along with her beautifully fluent Greek, she must also have a good command of spoken English.
  • she must have a sense of humour and fun while juggling three children (Constantine, age 7, Aleco, age 5 and Diana 2) and two flat coated retrievers.
  • she must also be flexible and would be happy to travel during the school holidays and be prepared to join and live in a happy and chaotic family in the middle of the hussle and bussle of London life.  The family is based in Fulham.
  • It would be an added bonus if she were able to drive and/or cook and the salary would be increased according to these extra qualifications.

The wages would be around € 400 - € 450 per week, if you know of anyone.  It can be +/- depending on her experience, ability to drive and ability to cook.

Looking for Kostas Skarmoutsos and the Berzovitis

Hi, I haven't been to Spetses in nearly ten years and I have lost touch with some relatives. Can anyone help with finding the Skarmoutsos' family. Kostas used to work for Pine Island Travel, but hasn't been there for years. Last address was Pireaus where he was working for another travel agency. His brother, Anargiros, ran a bike shop where he once had a bar. His wife is Maria. There is another brother, Angelo, I believe, who runs a gift shop with his with. His sister, Eleni, is married to Tom Berzovitis. They ran the Star Hotel. Does anyone know if  they still own it? If anyone knows them could you please the word on to me. Thanks.

Spetses still the same?

We are going to visit Spetses for a week from the 1st of October and hope we will see friends from many years ago. In the "70's I was a DJ in the Karnayo disco. In the "80's me and my wife had a small snack bar named Mik Mak on the Daphia.
