RE: Kamarela, what a place!

And yet this island is famous... if I'm not mistaken, I don't want to Google it, because I like to be wrong if my memory fails me.
I read a long time ago about a device resembling a clockwork, metallic, that was discovered on an ancient sunken ship near the island. Thousands of years old! I think that's about what my Roman colleague who commented here heard about.

I like the photo of Stefanos and Markos.
From what I can see of the island, I miss the trees. I would like richer vegetation. I must be talking nonsense... it's probably impressive if you're out there on the rocks!

Sort:  

Of course! The Antikythira mechanism, you are absolutely right! Which is indeed a mechanism found in a shipwreck close to the island, doesn't have to do anything with the island, but made it famous by taking its name :) That's life, some become famous by luck, haha!

No trees on this place:( Unfortunately, one of the few inhabitants is a shepherd and the goats are totally free and uncontrolled. They have ruined all vegetation. It would have been dreamy otherwise!

I think it's okay that the island has benefited from this fame to which it has no contribution. It was in the right place at the right time.

I never imagined that goats could make such a problem with vegetation. If shepherds had kept bees the situation would be different, wouldn't it?

It was in the right place at the right time.

Ahahaha! Definitely!

If shepherds had kept bees the situation would be different, wouldn't it?

This is how it should be, but reality often exceeds logic and imagination. In this case, the shepherd and the beekeeper is the same person... Sometimes I realize there is no hope, but I try to forget it and look at the bright side even if it's only in my mind :)

Even if it's only in your mind, the bright side is so beautiful!

Oh yes :))
