Why did The Idiot, who just completed a week-long spiritual retreat on the Greek island of Patmos, let his hair down on the mountainous island of Kalymnos, once the sponge-diving capital of the Mediterranean Sea and now a fave spot for international rock climbers?
Because he always visits a new Greek island (there are 7,000 islands but only 227 of them are inhabited) when he’s in the vicinity and Kalymnos won the lottery on this trip. It is one of the many Greek islands he missed when he spent twenty years walking around the Mediterranean Sea to write “The Idiot and the Odyssey” trilogy of travel narratives.
