I felt myself truly blessed meeting so many genuine and kind people during my three week trip to the Greek islands.
Met this old gentleman in a picturesque mountain village of Apeiranthos on Naxos island. He used to be a shoemaker. Eiriniana Materou works at the cafe.

Apeiranthos village is by many considered the crown jewel of Naxos. Much of this belief is due to the fact that over the centuries it has
managed to retain its unique authenticity which is apparent in every step you take. This is so not just because of the village and its uniqueness on the landscape of Naxos, but also
for its nearly 1100 proud inhabitants who have kept their own distinct dialect where even a slightly trained ear reveals their true Cretan origin.
