North Aegean islands invite us along with the gods to take
an imaginary voyage to
places in close contact with the dream, legend, poetry, and
brine that adorn the olive trees of Mytilini, the vines of
Samos and the mastic trees of Chios.. |

Here Europe is just a stone’s throw from Asia and history is
interwoven with legend. It was here that Icarus fell into
the sea during man's first attempt to conquer the sky. On
the NE Aegean islands you see beautiful
Neoclassical houses next to crystalline water, here folk art
has done wonders with wood, clay and colour, reaching its
peak in the paintings of Theophilos. Philosophers like
Pittakos once governed, and governors like Polykrates
philosophized. Today, its fresh fish and aromatic ouzo
provide pleasure, not just for the gods but for all who
visit. |
