Anitsa Protopsaltis (Tsagarominas)

Anitsa lived across the road from us when I stayed at our family home in Mitata, and was invariably watering her wonderful garden when I passed. Generous to a fault, her smiling face made every cloud disappear.

Ireni Samios

Ireni (pictured here) and her sister Maria were wonderful women. They were tender with their animals, who loved them back; they could cook an artichoke stew over a wood fire which would have put the best chefs in Europe to shame; they were so generous despite having so little themselves; and they were ever joyful, despite living quite tragic lives.
Here she is, walking majestically back along the cemetry road towards Mitata.

George Kastrisios - Tarzan

Back in the 1980s, George Kastrisios - better known as Tarzan - was perhaps the most charasmatic taxi driver the island had and will perhaps ever have. There is a story about him in the "stories" section of this website.

Georgos "Tarzan" Kastrisios

Georgos was one of the most lovable people in Mitata. When I arrived on Kythera in 1985 he was still driving a taxi - an old Bulgarian car I think - and could be quite sly with his tarifs if one wasn't careful.
We had a lot of fun together, and he always looked after my friends and I very well. He was definitely one of the "stars" of the island.
Unfortunately he died a couple of years ago (in 2000 I think) leaving a wonderful wife and two hardworking sons.
