Old Calendar of Avliotes 2004

(1/2) > >>

Dupnica:
I have just found an old calendar of Avliotes from 2004.There are fascinating photos dating from 1922 through to 1980 including some of San Stefanos. Of particular interest is a school photo taken in 1955,I'm sure some of the children must be the parents or even grandparents of the people we know now who run apartments or tavernas in San Stefanos. Another one,from 1959,shows a group of young men playing in the snow,quite a novelty in Corfu,but it does happen occasionally. By far the most poignant is the one taken in 1945,just at the end of the war,which shows a group of  rather malnourished men working in the fields.
Does anyone else have one of these calendars and do they recognize anyone?

Jules:
Hi Dupnica can you put some of the pictures on here . Would be great to see them.

Lesley:
George at Ilias Taverna used to sell these calendars up until a few years ago when it no longer unfortunately became viable however if you do visit Ilias in Avliotes ask George to show you some of his collection. I often bought them (Calendars) as Xmas gifts for my UK family. Also Ilias Café/Bar has a FB page group and often updates local photos past & present stuff.....

Jules:
Thanks Lesley. I will have a look  :)

Dupnica:
Lesley,I can't remember how I acquired the calendar it could have been at Ilias,it was a long time ago.
 Jules I will try to scan some of the pictures am awaiting delivery of a new printer.
There is another one ,taken in 1922 of the grape harvest,the ladies,young and old,are in traditional dress with baskets on their heads,really beautiful!!
 More up to date San Stefanos beach in 1980 and not a doughnut man in sight,hardly anyone in sight actually,definitely no sunbeds.
