Elounda, Crete

A farmer in elounda
 Here
in Elounda, Crete, the pace of life is far from what Alexis Zorbas enjoyed.
Just 30 years ago, Elounda was a quiet farming and fishing community...
perhaps the very reason why travelers were drawn to her.
Today, only small pockets of traditional village life remain. Tourism
has been a blessing for struggling farmers; however, it has changed the
face of Crete forever. The simple things in life are the most important
-- as the older villagers like Yiorgos will remind you.
|
Yiorgos represents this society in transition -- somewhere between then
and now. He maintains his own small farm in between his full-time
job in construction. He refuses to buy food from outside sources
and even collects salt from a rocky beach nearby. "The chicken
I eat must first dine at my house," he says.
