We have many great memories of talking with the owner Nick Pappas and enjoying amazing food. In 2025, my family rented a house near Savannah and we went to the Olympia Cafe for an incredible night of great food and drink. In the above picture, you can see that the restaurant is closed. They have started renovations, but we aren’t sure what will be going in since Nick’s death in May 2025 (basically about the time we were at the restaurant). The family has opened a new restaurant called “Limani” on River Street, very near to the old place. https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/300ef768-8c42-472e-bdab-ff6589b90b44/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/300ef768-8c42-472e-bdab-ff6589b90b44/thumbnail Looping Life Blog - OLD HAUNTS Heading into Savannah there is a place called “Hell’s Gate”.

Bridge heights range from 7-65 feet. Anything below 25 feet, we would request a bridge opening. We did have one bridge master that had a 23’ bridge height and when we requested an opening, he asked, “what is your air draft?” I said, “it is 22’.” He came back over the radio and said, “you have plenty of room, know your air draft, know the bridge height.” So, that was a lesson. https://www.loopingbella.org/looping-life-blog/the-start monthly 0.5 2026-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/b3fbf721-3003-433b-acc5-f0424a6aa4a2/Bella+Nova.jpeg Looping Life Blog - THE START - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/c6087ea6-0be9-422f-856b-599c6faa871d/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/c6087ea6-0be9-422f-856b-599c6faa871d/thumbnail Looping Life Blog - THE START Looping Life Blog - THE START https://www.loopingbella.org/home daily 1.0 2026-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/ffc5ad31-a2c1-469e-b447-b1e0f1707f64/Image+3-15-26+at+2.49%E2%80%AFPM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/37357f01-d39b-4716-9d2d-f13eb576d7b0/Bella+Nova+route.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/a5c8c85d-9561-4dd6-a318-2e34c2ab6a80/The+Looping+Bella+logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/0e7be229-a262-46b1-9484-694570267d0e/Bella+Nova+with+Howie.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/f8abcadd-41c5-4cca-9db8-27d1edd602c9/Great+Loop+Map+%284%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/38e683b5-87d1-4eae-897b-7ae49c0bb8b0/photo-1.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/9e6a2953-866a-42fd-a4b6-053478304c80/Gunner+and+Kodie.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/9ab8a9a5-affd-4dc7-8ea1-b9bd88566e79/photo-2.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/6139a15e-deed-4d10-b771-0dcfe75d6799/Howard+and+Gunner.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/4f043b21-21d8-49b0-8bd9-d50002b1a79b/Gunner+with+beer+can.jpg https://www.loopingbella.org/about daily 0.75 2026-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/027ec412-637d-430f-89aa-f9090be06ebf/Image-1.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/76abb17a-49fa-4616-82ce-ab88f5a5e766/Image-1.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/a3aef44e-0073-43d0-b48f-995378c3cadc/Image-1.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/14497c0c-d3e7-4141-9d97-55e36a05cc02/IMG_1625.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/d56de5be-443a-42d4-a0c9-b9eacbabbd07/Image-1.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/dc57dec6-eac0-4945-869c-e587424ab617/Image-1.jpeg https://www.loopingbella.org/contact daily 0.75 2026-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/1740593656.654225-PKERUSQELGUVNCPRUFNH/imgg-gi3-_827bgwz.png https://www.loopingbella.org/bella daily 0.75 2026-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/93ba14b5-15a5-4464-b59d-9fe292219f17/IMG_1097.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/9331b46e-a611-4807-9b44-291125eaf557/Howie+and+Bella+puppy.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69aae8980c4d7b3392f8be2a/e9363194-85b0-4b79-bbb6-f0c7a2c2f547/Howie+and+Bella+bath.jpeg
