GREEKS BEARING/WEARING GIFTS

This is Nikola Glinatsi, a huge fan of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, with the gift we brought him from Middle-earth via London: a personally inscribed photograph of Sir Ian McKellan as Gandalf. The look of delight says it all and the Glinatsi family are now ready to offer Kalymnian hospitality to Sir Ian any time he cares to stop by Artistico, their unique taverna at the heart of Emporios.


And this is Nikola’s father, George, who prides himself - it is one of his famous lines - on speaking “Oxford English”. Despite the fact that the temperature is 32 degrees, George sportingly sports the University scarf that we bought for him at his alma mater!
