Johnny has been living on the island for a year now and has developed a keen sense of where one can experience the most beautiful moments of freedom . 🏞️✨
The authentic Greek tradition is not found in the tourist centers on the coast, but in the picturesque mountains, where true island life pulsates. The small village of Vrahasi in particular has retained its original charm: winding streets, flat roofs and a fantastic view from the roof terraces of the surrounding mountains and the untouched nature. 🌿🏡
Many locals still live in harmony with nature here. Going to the supermarket is often unnecessary, because orange, lemon and olive trees have been thriving in the gardens for generations. Fruit and vegetables are grown on site - sustainably and full of flavor. 🍋🌳
The area around Vrahasi also offers animal highlights: eagles and the majestic griffon vultures circle over the mountain slopes, while huge cacti decorate the steep rock faces. The village is a real paradise for nature lovers! 🦅🌵
A visit to Vrahasi is definitely worth it – not least because of the warm hosts in the taverns, who welcome every visitor with open arms.
