Dance teachers will teach us the rhythm of traditional dances of the Aegean Sea. Experienced guides of the island will lead us to the roads of colours through the naïf painter Theophilos’ works, while other trips will bring us into contact with some young artists who work on trash art and clay. At the end of the day we will taste ouzo with meze in a picturesque tavern in a fishermen’s village or listen to contemporary Greek singers at the Castle of Mytilene, the capital of Lesvos, Queen of the Aegean Sea.
