| | Levkas & Ithaca |
 | | Levkada, the main town on Levkas (38 50.0N, 020 42.7E) was a major stop as we expected our new stove, a copy of Rod Heikell's Turkish Pilot, mail from Judy's sister Jacqui, and mail forwarded from CA House in London, our European address. |
 | | Levkas town, also known as Levkadas, was devastated by a major earthquake in 1948, and in rebuilding the houses, concrete block was used for the lower walls, but the upper floors were constructed with painted sheet metal or corrugated iron panels, a low cost alternative, not unattractive. |
 | | From Levkas there are several other interesting locations on Levkas as well as other Ionian islands that could be visited in day trips: Meganisi, Skorpios (Aristotle Onassis and Jackie Kennedy), Ithaki (home of Odysseus), and Kefallonia (of Captain Corelli's Mandolin). |
