    Hi Gabriel, this island Folegandros is a beautiful island and supposed to have some spectacular trekking trails with panoramic views. It may be best to use a scooter or quad bike. Of course, the water looks great to swim in and relax, you must have gotten used to riding a bit more on the bike. I know it's an adjustment with the camera in your hand. That's not goat milk, is it? I know that it's more digestible and many people are milk intolerant.

Also the Plaka was super cute, just like the trail from there to one of those small chapels...
