Excerpt from a review in Eleftherotypia newspaper (13/10/2005):
And the journey of life flowed through the four seasons, dedicated to the eternal cycle of nature and of love. In the same way it experienced to this day in every corner of Greek land by breathing the clear air of tradition through songs, events, customs and traditions. An authentic journey, earthen and salty, from Crete, Chalkidiki, Thessaly, Peloponnese, Epirus, Macedonia to Pontus, Mytilene, Samos, Kythnos, Rhodes. The "Captain" was simple and noble, Samiou with her stable, Doric voice. Her crew, multitudinous and worthy, was made up of almost 200 people!
