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.

Looking for my Brother....Yannis Markontonatis

Submitted by denisecokas on Sat, 02/07/2011 - 02:14.
My brother and I were separated by adoption and I finally found him on Spetses in the early 80's.  At the time, he owned a bakery with a restaurant on the second floor in the center of Spetses (could it be The Bakery Restaurant that I saw in Fodor's travel guide that did not have a telephone number listed??).  Unfortunately, we have not been in touch since meeting. I will be in Greece June 2012 and would really like to reunite with him and my family.  Does anyone know who I am referring to??  If you have any idea of whom I am speaking of, please, please contact me at this site or at denisecokas@aol.com. or call me in the USA at 01-407-733-9987. Thanks for any and all help. Note:  I am spelling my brother's last name phonetically.

Little dave

Submitted by Dave Ede on Mon, 15/03/2010 - 14:48.
Hi Keri & Keri . You may not remember me . I was on the island in 81 and again in 82. I was 17 the first time I arrived on the Island and spent most of my time pretty dam drunk. ( as they said about the 60's if you remember them you wern't there ) . During a particularly poor time i spent some weeks on the floor of the appartment you all shared , I think NIkki talked you all into letting me stay as she felt sorry for me.  I returned to the UK in the April of 83 having spent the whole winter on the Island and sorted out my life .I have been married for the last 25 years and have 4 children and 2 grandchildren. My two youngest are 16 & 17 and my eldest daughter 24 , my stepson is 35 . It would be nice to hear from you or anyone else that remembers me and or the island of course which i found spellbinding. If you ever have any contact with Nikki give her my warmest regards as I often think of her and the kindness she showed me.   All the best David Ede davidede@kljgroup.co.uk

Honeymoon

Submitted by GARETH on Wed, 30/01/2008 - 13:00.

We spent our honeymoon on Spetses in early June 1984, it seems a lot of us visited in that year.  It's our silver wedding anniversary next year and we are looking to return for a nostalgic look.  During our visit we became very friendly with the local Post Master named Andreas - does anyone know of his current whereabouts?

Submitted by Phillip on Fri, 28/09/2007 - 21:59.
Hello Hans, I spent 5 months on Spetses in 1984 and often had a burger at Mik Maks, Has it changed? I was last there in 1996 and it had changed a lot in that time. A lot noisier, more built up but still lovely. Have a good trip. BTW, great site Lucy

Submitted by Phillip on Fri, 28/09/2007 - 00:57.
I haven't been to Spetses for 11 years Hans but if you haven't been back since 84 you'll notice some changes. I spent 5 months on "the rock" in 84 and became quite a regular in Mik Maks. Have a great holiday. BTW great site Lucy :-)
