houses in summer. as your own there's simply being put to a different news. thought about that because the old days that'd be both in the suit about the now holiday makers sleeping on the cities. this the houses all have different features. the house of the rony most shows us has been given the luxurious make over by his son out of bed, straight into the sea. the erroneous is so monica is right next door and still houses his boat in the winter. as neighbors go, he's a lucky catch. he goes fishing every day in the summer, and always shares part of his hall, but the guest is through this fee, you know, unless the ve i made friends with many vacationers side is good f going to?

a us the i felt the connection with a say. and i really like to be around it or he needs or on it. so that's why i really love felicia. so it's really amazing and beautiful water the, the rocks are amazing. everything there. why live the, how often? sure. the side on these is really, really amazing. and you'll not find it in a lot of places. the boat towards to probably i goes are in unforgettable experience. no one knows better than andreas. how to safely navigate the shallows and the rocks to reach the most beautiful spots.

salty after 70 years. girl and i've never been to the doctor who did you bought the car, the keys will be yours . he was the patterson, put that in spite of his paper from seamless to port on every morning his start at 6 therapy from came one of those to bring the paper to the doctor. as in may most of the doctor hear somebody. she was sick. he made the night on the float, full flow, cute on with a boat to bring him to the doctor, or somebody need the pharmacy, the words, those pharmacy of those

a bottle. i always took my boat out of it regardless of the time of the day. oh the weather, a bad temper, hello air when it was night. now 910 and even 11 on the thoughts kyle: the campbell and a couple of to explain a living on the beaufort scale means gale force winds and waves that are meters high. they're shared low, but the sea has made the 2 captains friends for life. the captain o boost east wouldn't think twice about setting sail in conditions like these but the modern ferry to meet those is much less robust and service has been suspended today. the anyone hoping to get to the neighboring island? we'll have to wait until the winter drops. the

in the south of the island. there is a place with barely a breeze. this despite the region, strong winds known as both the tammy kind of meets. the beach is a little paradise exuding and almost meditative calm and serenity. the cmos is one of the few remaining unspoiled islands in greece. in total contrast to our final destination, the, the mika knows billed as the most expensive island in greece. up to 8 crew ships dock here every day. the narrow streets of the old town are packed with tourists from all

over the world. it's a place on everyone's bucket list. it would seem the mika knows town is absolutely beautiful. if only it wasn't so full. but there are places on meeker nose with no crowds or cues be on the farm. less than 10 kilometers from the bustling old town is the perfect spot to experience a very different side of macintosh. the farmer's founder, nikos, runs this tranquil place with his daughters a small restaurant with its own

wine, its own cheese, fruit, and vegetables. demetrius because son in law takes care of the farms, live stock, and the bikes the he and his wife demitria, offer cycling tours off the beaten track. the finger ties my part of his life. and so i think and says, also the founder and owner of young adults. so technically i'm working for my wife and says, yes, here's my boss. and 1st the seasons of re demetrius wants to take us to the north of me can most far away from the clubs and the power of sol covered beaches. the north wind does merciless and reservoir water levels are pitifully low. when i 1st came on the island 4 years ago, the level of water was up there where the line is. it was all flooded with water.

now every, every summer gets emptied in time to i guess this is set a good example of climate change. so that's why i know this is because the other way that we're using it does not come anymore from our what there was, there was not died from this. and i may say, so from the, from the see we have a 2 or 3 plants producing water. now the, the about this dustin suppose that the wisdom suppose basis like that, the ones i liked the dates, of course. i believe that those people that come on make on those that are looking for some quiet times some my favorite they said to say something different and the bars and the life life and the bates clouds. so this is not so that's my office

actually the the view here is not quite a spectacular, but the authenticity of this workplace on because most makes up for that. how your show and i'm gallows were really keen to blue craft beer on their whole mileage. even though mika nose has neither hawks nor malt, nor spring water, we have a fully, a fully be selling nation, seen the southern nation plant on site. so we decided that the water and with us the water we brew beer. so which is perfectly possible fresh water, which we have to do from scratch. okay. so the main ingredient is actually from making us, which is the water uh, 93 percent, the various water. so that is that is uh, definitely meconium beer from sea water. uh your shirt and um, yeah,

those are 2 very creative people. the 2 also offered tours of the brewery, and of course bure tastings, mika noises there, great love, even if the islands jet set live style is a far cry from their own. i'm used to this, i grew up here. so i've been making us in general. it's always been a jet said since i was a child because in the sixty's it wasn't just the middle fisherman's island very for it. but then i just sit there started coming, and then it's a, it will be more the there is no question that mika knows, relies on tourism. but the small island has over extended itself. during the high

season, it's full to bursting, and prices are sky high. we can only hope that the most expensive island in greece doesn't squander its special magic the magic. that's a part of all the greek islands, generated by a strong sense of community, magnificent bays, and beaches, and the people who live there with all their ideas and passions the the, to the points. strong opinions, clear position, international perspective. striking account of striking know,
