Hi,
Last year in Fiskardo, Cephalonia. I was madde friends with a taxi driver called Makis. Because I try to speak Greek and because I strected a point to say my English name was Yiannis in Greek he sang this song to me whenever we met. I kind of think that babba means uncle and also that Babba Yiannis is some kind of Cretian or Cypriot folk hero. Can anyone tell me:
A) who was Babba Yiannis
B) any song titles about babba yiannis

efkharisto poli, yas
