Rosy's Newsletter March 2007

	Dear Guests and Friends,

	It is amazing how quickly the winter passes and we find ourselves getting ready for our first arrivals. The island is stirring from its hibernation and as the weather maintains its sunny outlook, it has been the perfect time to tackle those jobs which keep Rosy’s Little Village fresh and welcoming for our guests.

	Rosy's Little village is ready to greet you March has seen us working hard to prepare the rooms and taverna ready to greet our visitors, old and new. The rooms have been repainted and new bathrooms have been fitted where the original ones were looking a little past their best! The pathways have been freshened to better guide you down to our taverna with its glorious outlook over the sea. We have added to our menu this year and are looking forward to the exciting dishes our new chef will be whipping up for us all.

	Aegean Flying Dolphins are coming to Agistri Agistri has for many years been negotiating for the Flying Dolphins to include the island in its timetable. They were previously unable to come because of the underwater geography of the ports. However, this year, with the completion of the modernisation of the port at Milos, we are delighted to announce the Flying Dolphins are coming to Agistri! The first official sailing is scheduled for the 31 March and we know many of you will be pleased with how quick and easy this will make the trip from Piraeus. It is expected to be a journey time of around 50 minutes including a brief stop in Aegina during April but direct from May which will reduce the journey time to around 40 minutes. The first timetable is as follows: Piraeus – Agistri: 07.30h; 13.30h; Agistri – Piraeus: 08.15h and 14.40h. Easter sunday Piraeus – Agistri: 07.30h; 16.30h; Agistri – Piraeus: 08.15h and 17.45h. For detailed timetable information, you can contact Rosy direct or through her website. You can also call the Aegean Flying Dolphins on +30 210 4221766 (Piraeus) or + 30 22970 25800 (Aegina).

	Greek Easter And finally, this year Greek Easter coincides with the celebrations across Europe and in many other parts of the world. So, we would like wish you and yours a wonderful Easter. Agistri will have its parades through Milos, Scala and Limenaria with everyone taking their candles to be lit in the churches, listening to the service and then waiting to marvel at the glorious fireworks. The candles will then be taken home and the mark of a cross, using the candlewick, will be made above our front doors to bring peace and happiness to our homes in the coming year. We will be celebrating with our family, guests and friends at Rosy’s Little Village with traditional lamb roasted on a spit and all the accompanying food, wine and festivities. We will raise a glass to our absent friends.

With very best wishes from all at Rosy’s Little Village
