About
On this day, Paul McCartney and Jane Asher, John, Cynthia and Julian Lennon, Alexis “Magic Alex” Mardas and Pattie Harrison’s sister Paula Boyd flew from Athens to London, after a week of holidays spent in Greece. Their plan to purchase a Greek island came to nothing as The Beatles’ interest in living in the Mediterranean waned.
John, Cynthia and Julian Lennon, Paul McCartney, Jane Asher, Alexis ‘Magic Alex’ Mardas and Pattie Harrison’s sister Paula Boyd all returned to England from Greece on this day.
They had been in Greece to visit an island which they intended to purchase. However, the plans came to nothing as The Beatles’ interest in living in the Mediterranean waned.
The party flew to London Airport from Athens. George and Pattie Harrison had returned the previous day.
July 29: George Harrison, his wife Pattie and The Beatles’ assistant Mal Evans returned to England from Greece on this day, to prepare for a trip to Los Angeles.
[…] We came home to London in two relays. George and Pattie wanted to go a little early — to pack again and leave for California — so Mal flew home with them on the following Sunday.
Then on Monday Paul, Jane, John, Cyn, Julian, Paula and Alexis headed for London. Alexis just about had time to pack a fresh set of clothes in time to leave for Los Angeles on the Tuesday with George, Pattie and Neil !
There’s no room here to tell you about the Harrison holiday in Hollywood so that will have to wait till next month.
From The Beatles Monthly Book, September 1967
HOME! from their Greek holiday on Monday came JOHN LENNON, PAUL McCARTNEY and his girl friend, actress JANE ASHER – all looking very relaxed, to be greeted by the happy news of Mick and Keith.

The Beatles Diary Volume 1: The Beatles Years
"With greatly expanded text, this is the most revealing and frank personal 30-year chronicle of the group ever written. Insider Barry Miles covers the Beatles story from childhood to the break-up of the group."
We owe a lot to Barry Miles for the creation of those pages, but you really have to buy this book to get all the details - a day to day chronology of what happened to the four Beatles during the Beatles years!
If we like to think, in all modesty, that the Paul McCartney Project is the best online ressource for everything Paul McCartney, The Beatles Bible is for sure the definitive online site focused on the Beatles. There are obviously some overlap in terms of content between the two sites, but also some major differences in terms of approach.
