George Megaloconomos - Melbourne Australia
Family village of origin:
Livathi
Hello,
This is an interesting site and a great way to see how we're all interconnected. My father, Panayioti Megaloconomos is from Livathi and my mother, Anezina Megaloconomos (maiden name, Londakis) is from Fratsia. Both of them live in Brisbane Australia. If anyone out there is doing a family tree with the Megaloconomos family, please let me know and hopefully I can help you out with a bit of information.
Thank you

Alethea Marios - Melbourne, Australia
I just wanted to say how fantastic this site is, and how excited I am to finally be able to learn about my family heritage and hopefully get to know some long lost relatives! My grandfather Peter Marios born in 1909 in Diakofti came out to Sydney, Australia approximately in the 1920's, but I dont know much more than this. He did however have three children: Nicholas(my father), John and Maria, who all appear rather clueless about their father's origins. Hopefully someone out there can help me put the pieces of the puzzle together so I can discover my identity!

Angelika Pentsi - Berlin/Germany
I am a Greek from Germany doing research on kythera-family.net. Last week I attended the Queensland launch of the site in Brisbane and spent some days in Sydney, where I interviewed users of the site.
I returned to Germany absolutely enthusiastic! The people I met in Australia, especially the Kytherian Australians, gave me a very warm welcome and helped me in every conceivable manner! Thanks to the assistance of a number of people I collected valuable material for my research and, moreover, had a fantastic time in Australia. I can say, I got a first-hand experience of what Kytherian community means.
I would like to thank the Perkins family and the Poulos family for accommodating me in Brisbane and Sydney.
Angelo Notaras, Peter Prineas, Stephen Trifyllis, Kiriaki Orfanos, Emmanuel Prineas, Peter Vamvakaris, George Vardas, Spiros Kalokairinos – thank you all for sharing your thoughts on Kytherian-Australian identity with me and for showing me around Brisbane or Sydney!
Special thanks go to George Poulos – a truly superb organiser – for introducing me to this great community and for every other assistance he provided me with during my stay.

Jos Campfens - Holland
Dear readers,
My wife and I made a trip around Greece from 15th May/12th June 2006 and are back at work in Holland again. (to earn money for our next trip to Greece). We drove about 4000km through the mainland and Peloponnese. We have visited this beautiful country for the last 16 years and still love it as it were for the first time!! In our last trip we booked the flight to Kalamata and rented the car there and didn't book any hotel, so we were free to go. In this holiday we also visited Kythera for 4 days. For us a great experience!!! In the past we were on many Greek islands, but it was sure different from the rest. We liked the diversity of the landscape: high cliffs, small bays (hard to reach )and the rough fields with sempervivem.
Via this site we want to thank the Kytherian people who made our short stay unforgetable. And we sure come back for a longer stay. Also I want to thank Jurgen of Porfyra travel for his help at the harbour of Diakofti and the making of the internetsite. He is a good ambassador for the island!!! Also we want to thank Frank van Weerde, a dutchman who lives on Kythera, for his nice made book with 32 walking trips. From the book we only had the chance to walk 2 trips, so it is simple for us: WE HAVE TO COME BACK!!!
Many gree(ce)tings from Holland.
Jos and Petra Campfens
