Oh yes please sth would love to see any old photos. A few years back we did the Church Museum visit and I brought some great old black and white piccys of Halki. Love looking at them and comparing them to piccys I have taken per the years.
I presume you mean bought from and not brought to?
If by some chance you had some old pictures of your own which you brought to the museum could you scan copies of ;them and put them on here?
After sth's initial posting I had a look at my archive of pictures from my first visit in 1992. In typical fashion they focus on people rather than views, as do the movies taken on VHSC* (if anyone can remember what that was!). Anyhow I will get around to posting the views when I can figure out what some of them are. I was inspired to look because I spent a lot of time swimming at Ftenagia before it was a designated location. I did not see fit to take any pictures of the beach and the barn**; DOH! However I went again in 1993 and I have yet to find those pictures. I know some people prefer to print all their digital pictures, but I keep all mine on digital media. I can find them all. Finding my Halki pictures in printed format is a nightmare! My next visit was in 1997. I think there was a gap until 2001 when I brought a Hardy called Kinygos over. Anyhow I will keep looking.
I suppose even 2001 counts as archive now in 2014.
* Now digitised on the computer with a certain lack of quality compared with digital recordings.
** was it a barn, or a derelict house? I don't recall any windows.

Thanks Sth, interesting to see Ftenagia like that, our first visit was probably 2000 and it looked just like that, somewhere in the depths of the loft there may be some photos  it would also be interesting to see the harbour years ago as that has certainly developed in the years we have been visiting. |

Carol, I'll put up some I found and you can pick out what you can from them. Old "Aphrodite","Kyristanis" and "Halki" ferries. Bread oven on harbour in use. Petros shop with the old kiosk. Road down from the school.Pondamos pre wall with the old rusted beds and resident donkey and pre road to the cemetery. Couple of odd shots at KS with the small jetty and no wall etc. A few others. They may come in a couple of batches. |

The above are totally random and spread over several years. I'm still hunting for earlier ones but they are buried in the attic.

Thanks sth. Love the photo of Pondamos. If only it still looked like that. Can't say the changes there are an improvement as lines of pristine sun beds are not for me. When we saw them last year we didn't even go in the taverna. Probably a mistake as so many people told us how good the food is there.
How great it would be to go back to those days just for a short time, although I'm sure the locals prefer things as they are now. The Bread Oven photo should be in the museum, it's a real action shot. Love looking at these so very grateful to you for taking the trouble to seek them out and download them for us.

Wonderful photos Seth...thanks for sharing them. We first stayed on Halki in 2004 and so much has changed in the last ten years. I remember Nic grafting branches he'd collected from a tree that had been chopped down near the harbour. Now they are lovely Tamarisk trees full of chirping birds (sparrows I think)

When he first opened, several of us living there at the time, got together and gave him a Tamarisk which I think is still flourishing there but yes, he did take cuttings from the harbour too.

Thank you Sth, they are wonderful, Pondamos is unrecognisable and great to see the bread oven on the harbour. When we first visited it was a lot less commercialised than now and there were loads more ruins, some of the improvements have obviously been for the good of the island but not all, it is still a little bit of paradise for the few weeks we visit every year though  |

it would also be interesting to see the harbour years ago as that has certainly developed in the years we have been visiting.
