"Some believe that our island is very remote and isolated. This may be true for the people who live in big cities. When I was a child, it took about 15 hours to get from Piraeus to Donoussa. Now it is between 7 to 7.5 hours, which is quite satisfactory for us," says Anna Koveou, aged 27. She grew up in Donoussa and after six years in Athens, she has returned to the island to open a restaurant and settle there forever. "Our life here is simple but we are calm and united. I would not leave Donoussa to go and live in Athens," Anna says firmly and her eyes show that she is fully convinced of her decision.
