In this episode of Wander Words, we travel back in time to the Hydra of the 1950s and ‘60s, when the island became a haven for an international community of artists and writers.
Through memories and fragments, we revisit Hydra as it was experienced by Leonard Cohen, Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghika and his circle, Margarita Karapanou, Marianina Kriezi, and others—a sunlit refuge of solitude, creativity, and bohemian encounters.
