When we are on holiday, we may encounter some interesting people we would have not met otherwise. Being a concert pianist (and biologist at the same time), Dana Yakoumelou could have played for me in a concert hall in Athens where she is normally based. However, during the summer season she is also working in a cosy pool bar on Zakynthos. Instead of Beethoven, Schubert and Chopin, she served me my Pink Daiquiri, and told me about life on this beautiful Greek island where the usual population of 40 000 inhabitants grows to almost 1,5 million tourists in summer. Together, we are offering you our talk on music, science, tourism, environment and womanhood.
