Five Days on a Greek Island Page 3 A giassos is pretty, but the nearby town of Asomatos, out at the end of a side road, is more unique.
Streets are lined with white smooth cobblestones and it's very peaceful, quiet, no one is around.
It's a real village, one that's been unexploited. The Greeks do great things for shade. I descend from the mountains, and stop for a coffee at a pretty little funky shack-like taverna with an outside deck. It's in a lush valley, with thriving vegetable gardens. Squash, corn, tomatoes, cucumbers are growing in rich black river-bottom soil.
