Book Description
Excerpt from Travels in Northern Greece, Vol. 4 of 4 His hut, dignified with the name of a kula or tower, is twelve feet square within, and serves for every thing but a kitchen, which among Albanian soldiers is generally sub die. His palikaria occupy two other huts of the same size, but formed only of heaps of stones covered with branches, in which they all assemble when the weather is bad when fine, they repose on the lee-side of skreens made of branches supported upon rough posts, and which may easily be shifted according to the wind. The Aga's hut alone is tiled. The men consider them selves in luxury, having fish from the harbour for the trouble of catching it, and bread gratis from the villages. Hassau complains that in summer the air is unhealthy, and the winged insects very troublesome; but adds, that gnats, the worst of all, are seldom seen after June, the place being too dry for them. Petals consists almost entirely of rugged rocks, having small intervals of soil which are covered as usual in such situations in the winter and spring with a luxuriant growth of herbage, and a great variety of succulent or aromatic shrubs. On the summit are some velani oaks, and wild olives, and on the western side of the island a few fields which were cultivated by the Ithacans until Aly Pasha occupied the island.
