Continental Greece: away from mankind

2020, the world slows down and the flows fade. In Greece too, the season is ending before it has even begun. Far from the hustle and bustle of the Cyclades, in the hinterland, the images are breathtaking. This unique moment, away from the crowds, reveals the very identity of these provinces to the traveller. The land is deeply rural and sparsely populated. Everywhere the sun tans the landscapes of rocky cliffs. A chance to feel the influence of Orthodoxy in this period of doubt and fear. Greeks are getting back to the basics of serene waiting and contemplation.
