Before a work meeting in Athens I’m spending a weekend riding around Aegina on a tiny scooter than can only barely climb the hills.
The high ground away from the tourist areas are full of olive and pistachio trees. No sprawling plantations here, just little fenced plots about the size of my backyard.
