From the beginning of 20th Century, and every four years, Ro has been auctioned together with the neighboring Stroggyli by the municipality of Kastelorizo , also called Megisti. In 1927, a heroic lady, Despina Achladiotes, decided to reside permanently on the island. Her husband followed her. It is said that after her death, in 1982, she haunted the South East Aegean. In 1993, a physiotherapist from Athens left behind the comforts of the capital and settled in Ro.
History is written by tradition.
And this tradition is what I want to continue. Klimes Navrides Klimes found only ruins and a Hellenic flag on the island. It seems that the flag gave him the courage and he did not loose his smile. The living, or rather the surviving conditions in such a place, are extremely difficult. One year after settling there and with the assistance of the Greek Navy he rebuilt some of the ruins.
