We moved on to Barbara’s sanctuary in Messara where she currently has 8 donkeys, dogs, cats and various birds! We drove on to Melambes, an area with many donkeys who were unfortunately all out in the fields. By sitting in the local kafeneion we got talking to the locals and one who was particularly interested [...]
