Gyros in Greece is a quintessential experience that embodies the rich culinary tradition of the country. The combination of perfectly seasoned meat, typically pork, chicken, or lamb, cooked on a rotating spit and then thinly sliced and served in warm pita bread with fresh vegetables and tangy tzatziki sauce is a delicious and satisfying meal that has been enjoyed by Greeks for generations.

The aroma of the meat roasting on the spit is unmistakable and draws in locals and tourists alike to the street food vendors and restaurants that specialize in gyros. The sight of the skilled cooks shaving off thin slices of meat and assembling the ingredients into a mouthwatering sandwich is a feast for the eyes, as well as the stomach.

Gyros are a convenient and affordable option for a quick and tasty meal on the go, making them a popular choice for lunch or a late-night snack. Whether enjoyed as street food while exploring the bustling city streets or as a sit-down meal at a traditional taverna overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, gyros in Greece are a must-try dish that will leave you craving more.

🏛 Over 2,000 years ago, the ancient built a fully functional weather station—yes, really.

Standing in the heart of , the Tower of the Winds was constructed around 50 BCE by astronomer Andronicus of Cyrrhus. This octagonal marble structure combined a sundial, a water clock, and a weather vane—making it one of the earliest known meteorological and timekeeping towers in human history.

Each of its eight sides featured a carved wind god, and atop its roof was a bronze statue of Triton that turned with the breeze, acting as a wind indicator. !!

Panaghia (Virgin Mary)
Taking the steep winding path that starts at Pounta Square you arrive at the church of the Panaghia where you can admire the icon, emblem of the island, considered miraculous by locals.

The present church is of the beginning of the 19th century but it’s built on an older one as informs the marble inscription built into the wall to the right of the entrance. It is possible that there had reviously existed an ancient temple devoted to Apollo and Artemis on the site. In the yard there is a base of roman sculpture and in the bell-tower a roman sculpture body of marble. Also, the altar stone is lain on a sculpture base.

The silver thread icon of the Panaghia (Odigitria – Conductress, one of the Virgin’s many titles) which according to tradition is miraculous, is connected to many stories about pirate assaults. The custom of the procession of the icon from house to house all over the island in Easter is related to the merciful intervention of the Panaghia.

According to a legend, on 1st May 1790, 18 Algerian pirate ships showed up underneath Pounta square. The inhabitants ran uphills to the church to seek protection. After praying they took the icon of the Panaghia out to the cliff’s edge and asked for salvation. A sudden storm erupted that pushed the pirate ships against the rocks destroying them. Everybody drowned except for one prisoner who happened to be a Christian. He managed to swim ashore and when he met the locals he said that he had seen a big thunder coming from the cliff and striking the ships. The incident was thought of as a miracle of the Panaghia and 1st May is ever after considered a big fest for Folegandros.
