Anemi Hotel, Folegandros, Greece
One must be at least somewhat comfortable with minimalism to appreciate the landscape of the Cyclades—stark cliffs, stark sky, stark sea—and the region’s architecture, with its white walls and simple, squared forms, was minimalist before the concept had a name.
I'm most comfortable in liminal spaces - airports, hotel bars, hammocks, moving trains, scooter suitcases. My mom reminds me that I used to always say I wanted to live out of a suitcase. Now I often do.
Loving the Liminal
Europe - Greece - Folegandros
Santorini’s streets sag with admirers, but on Folegandros, a nearby island in the Cyclades, you’ll find similar architecture—streets paved in slate, whitewashed buildings decorated with colorful flowers, the occasional Greek Orthodox church with a bright blue dome—without the crowds. For a secluded swim, trek to Katergo, a sheltered stretch of beach where gentle, emerald-blue waves lap the pebbly shore.
