Gazul

Drove to the top of the island and found a little medieval hamlet called Gazul.  A Parkside setting among protected black pine and white stone,  Uninhabited now except in early summer when shepherds bring their flocks and mid-summer, when a large and rustic livestock sale is held, complete with feasting and lamb-roast.  This area was famous clear back to antiquity for raising prize cattle.  But today it was peaceful, secluded, and empty.
