It was the year that while we were in Naxos we learned by chance that he has a boat for Donoussa on the day of the festival. When we were at sea we realized that we were not alone as many people from the small Cyclades and other islands go every year for the festival of the Cross. Not unfairly. We gathered together with a lot of people from an early age on the steps of the church. The service was followed by a party with a live orchestra, the dancing did not stop for hours, we ate nice local delicacies (braised meat “potato”, cabbage stuffing, cheese from curd yogurt called “axialomyzithra” and we drank good wine. from the port holding red smoky!
