Today I went, with no expectations, I was welcomed by a guide sitting at the entrance of the Village. Which they try to restore. Everybody left, because of falling rocks destroying their houses. Still one family stayed and try to make a living. The coffee shop was closed down during corona, and they have a lack of tourism. The woman invited me for amond tea, bread, olive oil and olives. On the way back she even gave me a bottle of water for on the way. On my way back a woman as well invited me to her house, but I went on to the Italian monument. I should have put something on my head because of the heat according to a woman on the road. And indeed the taxi driver for 5 km tried to get money out of it. But over all a very interesting place and a heartbreaking story.
