NEWSLETTER THE GREEK ISLANDS - NIEUWSBRIEF DE GRIEKSE EILANDEN
Holiday pictures send in.
Hello lovers of the Greek islands, here is the update of my website The Greek Islands. If you have received this newsletter by mistake or if you want to unsubscribe please reply to this email and write "unsubscribe" in the subjectmatter.

Hello everybody,
First I have to tell you that I changed the layout on the website with most of the islands a little bit, and that the website is now a bit wider on the screen (not 4 but 5 pictures in a row). Most of the island now also have a banner on top of the page and once you start to click on the buttons the pages don't open up in a new screen all the time anymore, but in the same screen. I thought it was easier and looked prettier this way. Especially for Crete this was hard work, because it has so many pages and a lot of them still needed to be translated (into Dutch). Now it is all ready for my visit in October and for all the new pages after I get back.

I start this newsletter already in the beginning of July and so far it hasn't been much special for temperatures. This week I received a holiday parcel with beachtowels and such, a hammock was delivered to my house and last but not least an airconditioning. I was wondering if I was still going to need it this summer, but in the meanwhile there have been a few days on which I could try it out. Also some of the people are starting to return from their holidays and some of them have been so nice to send me their pictures, like for instance Rita Woldring who visited Naxos and Antiparos. The beautiful pictures on top of this newsletter are made by her.

Also pictures of Kos have been added to the website, with thanks to Ellen (pictures above) and new are pictures of Sifnos and Milos by Liesbeth (pictures down below).


Many more updates will follow after my holiday in October, when I leave for Crete for a couple of weeks. The schedule is more or less set and some hotels have been booked already. We start and we end in Agia pelagia because it is such a lovely village and because it is convieniantly place to visit other parts of the island, and in between we go west and we go east, and we will for instance stay a couple of days in the Apokoronas. As usual I will make lots of pictures and visit new and old places. I've got a couple of ideas for the website, like the start of a restaurant guide for Crete. I have already made a special page for people that are looking for naturist beaches on the island (because an awful lot of people do!), with pictures and descriptions of them. Officially there is only one nudist beach, but unofficially there are many more.

the extreme bush fires in Greece cannot have escaped anybodies attention. I hope that they manage to put them out quickly. Many people are affected by them, and I am very sad for all the people in Greece.
Okay people, thank you very much and all the best from me to you,
Kind regards Hans
