Out of print for some time, the Flight of Ikaros, by Kevin Andrews, was described as "One of the great and lasting books about Greece" by Patrick Leigh Fermor. The new edition, published by Paul Dry, is available on Amazon. Kevin visited Karpathos on several occasions in the sixties and seventies and befriended many villagers. Sometimes he slept in the police lock up, now the boutique Hotel Anemos, in Olympos. In Diafani he stayed behind my house near the old school.
