Approaching the island, first we see just bare rocks. Then walls of the old fortress with many cannons appear. Gradually the view unfolds, and here it is – a cozy harbor busy with life.
Everything is flooded with light. White houses climb up the rocky hills. Boats dart in and out. Boys jump off the steep cliff into the turquoise water. Donkeys wait here to serve as taxi, their names on “license plates“.
No cars on this island. Soft sounds of music blend with laughter and multilingual talk as people enjoy their rest under wide tents of tavernas.
Almost two hours have passed like a few minutes. The whole atmosphere made me feel I traveled back in time.
