Congratulations to Manolis Dapontes for the publication of his sixth book. His new book is very important to Kytherian History, and the title is "Η ΕΛΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΤΑ ΛΙΟΤΡΙΒΙΑ ΣΤΑ ΚΥΘΗΡΑ". (The olive tree and the methods of extracting oil from olives). It is significant that Manolis has identified the earliest "factories" with photographs, including photographs of the first vehicles in Kythera. This book is an important part of Kytherian history and ensures that ...

A Tale of Paliochora by George Koksma Illustrations by Dimitrios Zaglanikis Accursed Agios Dimitrios, known to us as Paliochora on the island of Kythira, today is still uninhabited, and in ruins. A woman’s ancient curse has come true. Seven times in her long life, Kythira had been bereft of her children. Seven times pirates had left her like a bursting wind sack, but always-fearless pioneers reinhabited her again because the island ...

One more menu from 1934. Some barbeque items on the menu. My Father had a large hickory wood fired smoke barbeque rotisserie. Driven with an electric motor and chains on sprockets to turn the spits. It could cook up to 50 chickens at one time. This was quite the novelty back when he had it built for the restaurant. It is quite a common machine now, and often seen even in deli counters at grocery stores ,where they cook up chickens and spare ribs for ready cooked take home food.
A menu from my Father's restaurant in Highland Park , Michigan . #3 of 3 samples. Restaurant opened in 1914. 2 blocks from the original Ford factory that produced the Model T and started the mass production of automobiles . My Dad's restaurant was open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It was frequented quite often by Henry Ford ,who became a good friend of my Father. My Father retired in 1975, after 61 years in business. Prices to die for now..

In 1928 the Anglo-American Bank opened a sub-branch in Potamos, Kythera. In 1931, it declared bankruptcy with considerable loss to Kytherian investors. Unbeknown to me until 2007, my great-grandfather was one of those who sustained losses as a result of the collapse.
