Gastronomy

They tell you about San Michali, the hard cheese with its bold flavor that matures in the Aegean breeze; about louza and the spicy cheeses that pair with Cycladic varieties of wine; about how the taste transforms when combined with capers gathered from the island’s dry-stone walls. And of course, there is loukoumi—the sweetest “souvenir” of the island, still made the old way in large copper cauldrons, releasing the fragrance of rose and mastic. Gastronomy here is a bridge: between you and the place, between taste and memory.
