Once upon a time there was a land, blessed with the gifts of nature, springs, streams, rivers and sea, lush forests, imposing mountains and fertile valleys; a land waking from its long history and the struggles of its past…
…Greece! A country split into regions, islands and seas, some of them lively yet some still in trance, waiting for centuries to be discovered.
Let’s wake the sleeping beauties of the Cyclades and turn our journey into a fairytale.
