The ever present green in thousands of shades, cool and fresh as the morning light, dreamy turquoise lakes, waterfalls crashing down for hundreds of meters in search of the ocean... This is the natural setting of Flores Island, which becomes even more inviting when we think of its calm life that reminds us of old times. Visiting Flores is entering a world of tranquillity and beauty, where we feel like walking and discovering hidden charms: the fast spin of the grindstones, the crystal-clear, fish-rich seawater, the thousands of hydrangeas that enhance the always green vegetation or the delicate transparency of the fish-scale flowers made by agile hands.
