Othonoi – Teacher, Saviour and Soul Soother

Othonoi – Teacher, Saviour and Soul Soother

During my extended stay on Othonoi, I began to fall into some kind of routine. I woke whenever my body clock felt the desire to rise. Usually about 0730. I’d have a cup of tea on my balcony overlooking the sea towards the place where the Ionian Sea joined the Adriatic. Most mornings I’d have…
