Katharo Kastellorizo - Keep Kastellorizo Beautiful
Thank you to all of you (total of 68) who participated in the Inaugural Katharo Kastellorizo Day 2008. The role-modelling that Australian and other tourists to the island displayed was wonderful. We had American, Italian and Athenian visitors join us in the clean up. We collected over 100 bags of rubbish and cleaned up around the Limani which was divided into 4 sections including the back streets, as well as Mandraki. Some people volunteered to clean St George of the Mountain, Ayia Triatha and Paleocastro. One local, Antonis Patiniotis (sea taxi owner) offered his boat to take 4 volunteers to clean the Limani. It is our intention to build on this event for next year.
An Ouzo Bar was set up by the limani to thank everyone courtesy of Sylvia & Peter Parras and Eva & Dimitri Savvas. The Katharo Kastellorizo-Omorfo Kastellorizo caps handed out to all who participated on the day have become a collector's item - thanks again to sponsor Victor Kailis of Kailis Fish Market Cafe of Fremantle.
The next date scheduled for this event is Saturday 18 July 2009. We look forward to your participation if you are on Kastellorizo at that time of the year.
