It was the only information available before writing the short text below: It is bloody cold – what an idea to swim tonight! He was so enthusiastic I could not spoil it. Peter is like that. […]

All rights reserved; initial post 20 October 2013 – revised March 2018 There is no way to visit the island of Kea, just an hour boat travel from the port of Lavrio, and miss a drive up to Ioulida or Chora, the capital.

a bench with a view

March 26, 2013 by Lisa Samloglou

This blog post is an experiment in poetic prose matched with photos from the island of Kea or Tzia that have inspired it. It has been reviewed by the highly acclaimed Exile Room, an art space and very active non-profit organisation operating at the centre of Athens “obsessed” with promoting and educating on the art and practice of documentaries. The last years in the Exile Room they show regularly distinctive documentaries from the international scene; they also organise seminars and host the most hospitable […]
