Thinking about the tiny island of Anydros, 30km from Santorini & the epicenter of an earthquake phenomenon that has rocked the southern Cyclades over the past few days. Anydros is beautiful & we were lucky to document its amazing archaeology, featured today in @kathimerini.gr: bit.ly/4guaWA4 🏺🇬🇷

There's nothing better on a Friday night in Athens than hearing about Pirates, Exiles, & all of the archaeology that makes the Cyclades a fascinating part of Greece 🇬🇷 Instead of a beautiful dinner, a romantic walk around the Acropolis, or a late night at the club, join me at the Danish Institute! 🏺
