To Folegandros because:
…here the beaches are not cosmopolitan or fully organized, but they are clean, with crystal clear sea and of moderate size, as the whole island is.
… because only here you may taste the local traditional cooking, with its dishes that have taken their taste from the salt of the sea and the scent of the “meltemi”, the cool, northern summer wind.
…because here the locals made, drank and offered the famous “rakomelo”, before this drink becomes “trendy”.
…because if you see a sunrise while drinking your morning coffee, or a sunset while enjoying your ouzo with grilled octopus, you will feel like staying on the island for ever.
…because here the walks in the footpaths of the country or the stroll in the narrow streets of Chora are not adventurous at all, but they are fascinating, nice and calm.
…because, apart from the coffee you will enjoy in the traditional cafés, you will probably have the chance to hear the verses improvised by the locals on various occasions.
… because you will remember for life the tour of the island , a cute short sea journey around the multicoloured rough land.
…because here you can observe, without disturbing them, lots of migrant birds which repose here for the last time, before departing for the long journey to Africa, flying above the Mediterranean Sea.
…because the goods that this arid soil produces are in small amount, but excellent in quality and taste, in such a way that you may think that the olive oil, the wine, the figs and the honey of this island are blessed by the gods. |
