During the walk, I will introduce you to the fascinating little-known history and religion of this beautiful island. I will share some local stories, folk tales, and my own experiences. I've participated in many rituals and events. After the walk, we will rest by the beach under a shadow and refresh over a cup of locally made tea and sugar snacks.
