When one is approaching the island of Kythera on boat, if the wind is favorable, can smell the perfumes of the place from long way. The island is covered by this beautiful and beautifully smelling bush which was in full bloom at this period with its tiny purple flowers. Thyme is growing everywhere on the island. And there are these never tired workers sucking off the nectar from those tiny flowers. And they produce the best quality and taste of honey. You can not find it anywhere else.
Όταν πλησιάζει το καράβι στο νησί των Κυθήρων, ο αέρας ευωδιάζει από τα αρώματα που έρχονται απο αυτό. Γιατί το νησί είναι καλυμένο παντού με αυτός τον όμορφο θάμνο που αυτήν την εποχή είναι λουλουδιασμένος. Το θυμάρι. Και ακούραστοι εργάτες, συλλέγουν ολημερίς το νέκταρ από τα μικροσκοπικά άνθη. Και παράγουν ένα μοναδικό προιόν. Το θυμαρίσιο μέλι των Κυθήρων, που στα αρώματα και την γεύση δεν έχει όμοιό του.
Nice serie Costas....very well done.
