Tales from the streets of Corfu

Who among us hasn' t dreamed of living on an island? Where the sun shines all year round, looking out at the azure sea from the shade of an olive tree, sipping delicious wine and listening to the chirping of cicadas? Pavla Smetanová is dedicating herself to life on the island of Corfu for the third time. It describes its beauties, but also its pitfalls. Sometimes the sea is gray, the wine is sour, the sun is hidden behind thick clouds, and the cicadas disappear into thin air. But they try to take those unpleasant things with humor and perspective. " You can be beautiful anywhere, as long as you are healthy, surround yourself with good people, and appreciate what you have, " he says with a smile.

Pavla Smetanová' s stories are accompanied by commentary by the author' s daughter, Souzanna Ofelia Damaskinou.
