VILLAGES OF HÍOS4
THE MASTIC
The plain stone fortress walls
around these villages belie the
black-and-white geometric
patterns that adorn many of
their houses. Check out Pyrgi
(p128) for some of the best.

RESTAURANTS5
SEAFOOD
Whether it’s fresh tender
octopus cooked over coals or
delicious steamed razor clams,
the Greek Islands’ revitalized
culinary scene is worthy of
Bacchanalian feasting (p28).

RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS6

Melding tradition and riotous
colour, the Orthodox Christian
calendar is marked by festivals.
On Ýdra, Easter Sunday reaches
its climax when locals light an
effigy of Judas on fire (p44).
