A farewell to Kostas Fifas and «LEFKES CERAMICS»
The name Konstantinos comes from the Latin word “Constantia” which means “steadfastness”
So, Kostas stands for “steadfast”. Such was Costas Fifas, who left us two days before his name day, last May.
Piracy in the Aegean
Myths & truths
In Naoussa, Paros, a re-enactment event called “Koursaroi” (pirates) is held every year on the occasion of the ninth day of the afterfeast of the Dormition of the Mother of God on the 23rd of August. Young men, dressed as pirates, as old-time seafarers, that is – or should we picture them as one-eyed and peg-legged? – step aboard boats and all kinds of vessels, then storm the port of Naoussa and abduct women. Next, the people of Naoussa counterattack and take their women back, saving them and their honour from the much-hated, barbarous pirates!

The Oracle of Paros
«The Oracle of Paros» is a video installation coming to the old Marble Factory by the Parikia Yacht Harbour for all of July & August
It is the first show of the future Fluxus Museum, but as the building won’t be ready until next year, this piece by Fluxus artist Stephan Shakespeare is designed to be seen by peeping through the doors at the back of the building. Millions of messages flash past too fast to be read, requiring you to use your phone camera to capture your own personal oracle, unique to every participant. Don’t miss it!

PAROS ΚΕΥ
We set up my agency in 2010, after a three-year-long experience in a leading real estate firm, which was a real school for me. These were rather trying times for my finances and everyone discouraged me from doing it, but I followed my instinct and, with the support of my family, I took the leap. My company undertakes sales, business leases, property management for Airbnb-style rentals, property appraisals and after sales service.
