So, if you
have read the previous post and didn’t get scared (or just skipped it), let’s
now focus on my favourite part of this place.
I read
Gerald Durrell’s “My Family and Other Animals” just a couple of years ago and
longed for everything in it (except for the scorpions): the big family and the
love for each other, the starry sky and warm nights, solo boat trips along the
coast of Corfu and the smell of herbs in the hot sun. And although Malia in
2017 is probably rather far from rural Corfu in 1930s, I feel that I found so
many elements here.
