There is something so special...so unique...about being regular visitors to Chora.
We are not tourists. We do not have expectations.
We do not wonder why the pathways are silent and empty...why shops and cafes are closed...why the village has almost gone to sleep.
We love this “ October face” of our village as it prepares for the deeper silence of winter.
There are evening gatherings of familiar faces...more conversations in Greek than in French, Italian, German and English.
We know when the bakery is open...when the grocery stores close...why the church bells ring...where to find a good home cooked meal.
The days are still warm enough for outdoor coffees...the evenings warm enough for outdoor wines at sunset.
It is the perfect time to be here.
