Why is Indira on Ithaca? She fell in love with an Ithacan, Yiannis Politis from Drosia Restaurant, who she met in the Shoe store she was working at in Venezuela, got married and has been making a life on the island for the past 1 year and 6 months. Indira is the chef at Drosia Restaurant in Vathy since September 2005, and has been thrilling customers with the Venezuelan recipes she has introduced to the restaurant, as well as the Greek kitchen people expect. Indira misses her homeland of course, and especially misses the all year 'round warm Venezuelan weather she had become accustomed to, but feels no sacrifice has been made. She is with the man she loves.
