点评:We visited the island on an organised tour from Hersonnissos with Orange Tour Company who also organised our boat passage across.
This ex leper colony is very interesting historically. Imagining this community of people cast out from normal life arriving here amongst what initially was quite squalid surroundings and then forming a community which grew and over time improved is astonishing. The old shops and houses are really interesting and a walk around the island highlights the solitude they were forced to bear away from their families and friends.
There is something about the silence of this place that awakens my soul and imagination. I’d love to return sometime in the future when I have more time. Time that isn’t confined by the timings of a boat transfer.
I left wanting to read Victoria Hislop's book to understand more

从历史上看,这个前麻风病人聚居地非常有趣。想象一下,这个被驱逐出正常生活的群体,来到最初相当肮脏的环境,然后形成一个不断发展和改善的社区,这真是令人惊讶。古老的商店和房屋真的很有趣,环岛散步凸显了他们被迫远离家人和朋友而忍受的孤独。
这个地方的寂静唤醒了我的灵魂和想象力。我很想在将来有更多时间的时候再回来。不受换乘船时间限制的时间。
我离开时想读维多利亚·希斯洛普的书以了解更多信息
