Historical and other
Is it possible to describe something which you haven't
seen, something that only you have imagined and your imagination
loved it so much? It appears that it is. In
a quiet, at least up now , place, in this ideal
but enigmatic island is where Oreste came chased from Erinyes,where
we also reach chased from our fantasies.
We are here. Here that was transported banished in 95 ac
Ioannis the Theologian, here thatwas written this bad , prophetic
but enigmatic text. Here, that a lot of Christians found shelter
after the captured of Konstantinoupoli, here, that in 1713 was
founded by the patmo's deacon and scholar Blissful Kalogera, the
eminent “Patmiada
Sxoli”, here that was given birth Filikos Emmanouil Xanthos.
Here it is, that ,who knows why, we hope the
hour to reach. Visit it and discover it . Reveal it perhaps.
This night
They say that this place is magic.
Iit is Blessed. They also say, that here the visitor can be sunk
in his thoughts, find himself, or even write poems! They
say many and contradictorily. We are not in position to
agree or to disagree. We passively and passionately, simply
the eyelids close as if they
are theater curtain. And then the show begins: the instigator
whispers to us: dialogs, monologs and descriptions. And we were
left, we were drifted, we were charmed. We are surrender. We see
ourselves crossing easily, but not pointlessly all the island.
We observe them climbing with comfort the
rocks, walk the plains, the hills go up without breathing deeply.
Hear the calm sea histories fascinating the murmurs, and finally,
we see them they reach light in the top. We enter in the medieval
castle that the Andriko Kastromonastiro of Saint Ioannis of
Theologian was founded in 1088 from the monk Christodoylo
Latrino with golden bull of the Byzantine Emperor Alexioy A
`Komninos.
We raise the eyes in the sky. With gauze light blue it has been
covered by the heat as it wants to be protected. The
stars small, bright, silver fasteners in order to fix the
light blue tulle on him. One light blue tender, friendly, accessible.
This here the island, this sky, this night they are completely ours
until it dawns. We don't not need to look down, the gauze is
transformed in mirror and a big part of island is opened front us,
a big part of majestic island that is framed from the around islets.
They
say that deserves to be turned all by everyone, goes to the Plain,
the village that is in interior, goes to the Scale, in, from the
antiquity,
harbor of island, that was selected for his deep gulf and was developed
in the place of ancient capital of island , in their foot
of hill Kasteli. Many people say and for the around islands, for
Agathonisi and for their Arkous at they are
beautiful.
