“Our quest for this trip was to lose the impression of time and to get lost on this small Greek island called Folegandros. On our first day, we walked to a small creek called Agios Nikolaos. The water is a picture-perfect transparent and the beach carries a sense of serenity while people are reading in the shade of tamarisks. We fell completely in love with this paradise. The island looks like a parenthesis out of time, a raw wild beauty!

We discovered all of the island, from south to north and east to west. We hiked the mountains on the island, took public transport and rented a scooter to get around. From the arid landscapes with donkeys, goats and a lost olive tree, to the city of Chora where the entire island congregates in the evening to visit the restaurant and enjoy the Greek specialties. For our print, we made a kind of summary of the island. Blending the architecture, textures, shapes, and colours we encountered. Making it a collage of all our memories during our trip.“

DAY  4 - FOLEGANDROS
Big day of hiking today. We decided to discover the north of the island, direction Ano Meria (or Pano Meria) by bus and by the only road of this island ! It is completely different of Chora, no village square but more rural atmosphere, some donkeys, goats, and olive tree … and No tourist (maybe too early …) We decided to go down to the sea, direction Ligeria and Ag. Georgios, there’s a lot of wind and it’s impressive to see how the land is arid here !
