has been given the luxurious make over by his son. out of bed, straight into the sea. the erroneous is our motto 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 the photos produce this fee, you know, must have's eating? it made friends with many vacationers decide. is it going to? yes, so good friends all over the world must have been good because all most of those, they like it here. they keep coming back like you might use it together outside our house and i grill or cook something. so i make a few appetizers to see portal good. we drink wine or c, put all that, and i mean, we just have a good time together. now is that due to me?

but the sea has made the 2 captains friends for life captain o, boost east wouldn't think twice about setting sail in conditions like these but the modern fairy to me most 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's a place with barely a breeze. this despite the region, strong winds known as bell tammy. color meets the beach, is a little paradise exuding and almost meditative calm and serenity.

the chemo rose 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 doing grease. up to 8 cruise 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 the b 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 single ties my

part of the new life. and so i think and so is also the founder and owner of family for this. so technically i'm working for my wife and says, yes, here's my boss and 1st phase and the brain. demetrius wants to take us to the north of me can most far away from the clubs and the parasol covered beaches. the north wind is 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 flew with water. now every, every somebody gets emptied in time to i guess this is set a good example of climate change. so that's why i know this because the other way we're using it does not come anymore from our work. 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 are full cost. me lives of 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 boss and the life life and the base clouds. so this is nothing. 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 hops nor malt, nor spring water, we have a fully, a fully be selling nation, seen the selling nation plant on site. so we decided that the water and with us water, we brew beer us, which is perfectly possible fresh water, which we have to do from scratch. okay. so the main ingredients is actually from make on us, which is the water uh 93 percent. the various water so that is that is uh, definitely meconium beer from sea water. are you all shy and um yeah, those are 2 very creative people. the 2 also offered tours of the brewery, and of course bure, tastings leak analysis, though 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 seen nicholas in general. it's always been a jet said since i was a child because in the sixty's it wasn't just the little fisherman's island very

poor and but then a jet set there started coming and then it's a, it will be more the . there is no question that we can most 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,
