Donkey paths in Chora
Donkeys have played a very important role in Greece’s past and especially in insular Greece. Donkeys have been a reliable partner for transporting goods , as well as, the main means of personal transportation around the island until less than a century ago. The donkey has been used for carrying olives, grapes, and other domestic products since antiquity; offering an ideal access to traditional narrow paths among the white small Cycladic houses.
Steep donkey paths lead to the major village of the island, known as Chora. Chora is a white and very picturesque cycladic village, full of stairs and narrow paths that make it inaccessible for vehicles; usually located in high mountainous ends.
