I am so pleased that so many people agree about not ruining places where we like to go on holiday. It certainly is a fragile balance between building prosperity and keeping the uniqueness that makes a place stand out, and I hope they can do this on Kythira.

Quiet, unpretentious, beautiful, interesting and friendly are top of my list for holidays destinations as well. It looks a delightful place.<br /><br />And welcome to the joyful world of decluttering. I'm a bit evangelical about it - it's made an awful lot of difference, for the better, to me and my home. mmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12602566764008799383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937298116504825290.post-55072287701475369232014-05-14T01:32:37.143+01:002014-05-14T01:32:37.143+01:00Hi human, Jenny,

Such a lot of history has passed through there.

I think you've described the wishes of many, with us desiring small, quiet, interesting and unpretentious.

It feels as if such corners are being squeezed out by all the big players - of course we want to write about them, and it would be selfish to keep such treasures to ourselves, but sometimes I wish there were a way to keep them secret!<br /><br />And your twins ... mine are nearly three.
