Vounin tis rkas

 Small hill in the Alykos area with a very characteristic shape.

It is said, according to popular tradition, that it was a pile of wheat (consistent with the euphoria of the area) that belonged to a stingy old woman (rka).

When, according to the myth, Jesus Christ was passing through the area and asked her for some wheat, she refused.

That is why the Lord cursed her by transforming the wheat into soil. At the top of the hill, the old woman's sieve can be seen upside down.

A walk through the line, 2017 CHIHARU SHIOTA

Chicaru's red string installation is part of a giant visual art exhibition ‘Terra Mediterranea: In Action’, where local and international artists consider Mediterranean identity.

The string net aims to show the complexity of Mediterranean politics, history and identity. Yep fairly complicated stuff.

Set up in the Fabrica Hill cave, it took 12 people working full time for 2 weeks to complete the project. (They still have red string nightmares).
