10 reasons to visit the island in Winter

Let me first dispel the myth that the islands actually close. 

They don’t.

People live on the islands and life goes on year round.

There are hotels and Guests Houses open on every island and restaurants too. 

Not many but good enough to have a pleasant staying.

So let’s start giving you reasons to visit the island: 

1. You can go hiking and feel the beauty of Hydra’s mountains,pick some wild mushrooms and greens.Caution: Do not eat them alone.They go better with company.
2. You can ride a horse and visit the monasteries and remotes beaches.The best horse is called “Freedom”.
3. You can lie on the beach and do nothing.Better than do something!But if you really want to do something,then dive.Fortune favors the bold.
4. You can go fishing and return home without a fish but who cares? Sea breeze is the reward my friend!
5. You can sip your coffee next to a heater at port’s  cafes. We have great coffee.Especially when you are served as you are the only customer! 
6. You can enjoy a meal at the local taverns.Wine?Tsipouro?Ouzo? Taste all.You don’t have to drive.  
7. You can chat with the locals and make new friends. You might find out the next Wikileaks issues.Keep talking.
8. You can read a book or write a book.If you write one,please make sure you let us know.We have time for reading during Winter.
9. You can do nothing.Doesn't sound magical? N o t h i n g . 
10. You will have plenty of time to plan your next visit.
