Welcome

The adventurers and the seamen!
The lovers of wild beauty, rocks,
the images of Elytis!

On the golden beaches with the lilies and the thrifts,
at the white little houses of Chorio with the flowered yards,
under the moonlight on calm nights with the sea breeze,
at the charming country churches and the old paths,
under the Cycladic light, the warm “good mornings”,
enchanted by the treasures of the deep blue,
you will also love
the small, silver stroke of the brush in the Aegean.
