This photo was taken on the way to the lighthouse. We saw several of these birds, hoopoes, I think.

Designed by graphic artist Lindsay Cretha (Kritharis) Katharos, now residing in Berry, NSW, in the 1970's. The laconic donkey, meant to compliment the two previous donkey entries in this section, captures the quiet and leisurely lifestyle of Karavas perfectly.
Looking across two beautifully crafted sumari, saddles, to a grazing donkey, and a view across Karavas. The saddles belonged to our neighbour in Karavas, Irini Voulgaris. I do hope that examples of these sumari have been preserved for posterity.
During the pre-automotive period, the most important animal on Kythera was the donkey. There are very few working donkeys left on Kythera now. In 1994, our neighbours in Karavas, Voulgari, and his wife Irini, maintained about 5 donkeys, which they housed just above the Tzortzopoulos Hlihlis patriko spiti in Karavas. This is one of those very fine animals grazing. Note old man Voulgari's coat strung across the sumari, or saddle.
