What else can you find up in the hills in central Evia? Lots of bees, who feast on the early spring gorse and other wildflowers.

Goat herder’s huts, and more goat herder’s huts. I guess they would make up little farmsteads of sorts.

And last but not least, the darling goats, complete with bells. These ones were roaming free in the hills, without a goat herder in sight.

Funny, aren’t they? This was my introduction to rural life in Greece. And it won’t be my last encounter with goats either.
