Many shops, bars and restaurants on the island of Kalymnos demand a great deal of work, time and effort to make them popular and successful. One such place is called "Babi's Bar" in Myrties. Both Babis and his brother Yannis (pictured) start their day early and always finish very late.
Needless to say they don't have a great deal of spare time… hence the enterprising barber who calls at many businesses and cuts hair 'at the bar'.
