From the moment I stepped into the heart of the island, I felt an irresistible pull to discover its hidden gems. One of my favorite moments was enjoying fresh seafood at a small taverna in a quaint village, where the simplicity of the meal matched the beauty surrounding me. While the schedule was a bit packed at times, especially when visiting the historic site that had me walking through millennia of stories, it was well worth it for the breathtaking views and rich culture I got to experience.
