The Bleasdale Walking Map of Paxos
Ian Bleasdale:" I have finished my Book titled SALVATOR LOCATED in which I have attempted to unravel the walks Archduke Ludwig Salvator made all over the Island in the 1880s with modern-day photographs of (nearly) all the buildings he sketched. Included are Maps showing his routes and identifying - I hope - the place names he recorded... It is available for £24.00 or €32 including postage and will also be in the Gaios Bookshop". Ian continues: "The easy way to buy is to send a cheque (or a Postal Order) made out to Ian K. Bleasdale to: Ian and Elizabeth Bleasdale, Glebe Cottage, Church Road, MAUGHOLD, Isle of Man, IM7 1AS British Isles (or GB) ".

Ostrias Escarpment, above Avlaki Creek- a spot to which we always return .
The paths have become overgrown and many dry stone walls have fallen since our last visit.
Some have been repaired.

Πόπη Μπογδάνου
- "tou Barboula" (family paratsoukli/distinguishing nickname) - του 'Μπάρμπουλα
Popi's name is inscribed here as a memorial of her Paxiot origins - she is buried in Corfu.
"On Paxos there are really no villages, only groups of houses of one family, so that the members of all those houses have the same name. Everyone in Bogdanatika is a Bogdanos" (translation Margarita Luzzatto, 2011).

With Stamatis Boikos (aged 98): "I'll give up smoking when I'm 100!"
Archduke Ludwig Salvator:
"Auf Paxos giebt es keine eigentlichen Ortschaften, sondern
Häusergruppen der verschiedenen Familien, sodass in jeder Häusergruppe alle
einen Namen führen. So sind in Bogdanika (Bogdanatika) alle Bogdanos, in Murikatika alle
Muriki u.s.w. manche dieser Häusergruppen sind recht ansehnlich, andere dagegen
so klein, aus ein paar Häusern, bisweilen aus einem einzigen Haus bestehend.
Nur ausnahmsweise kommt es vor, dass einer von einer andern Familie in der
fremden Häusergruppe wohnt, und dann wird das Haus als zu seiner Häusergruppe
gehörig bezeichnet."
