The famous chair and its history

What about the famous chair and what is the history behind it? It starts many years ago, in 1986 after Chernobyl. It was then when some Russians decided to leave their country and stay in a pure and clean environment close to nature. And they chose Gavdos. Eventually, four of them arrived in Gavdos and they loved the island as their own.

The beach with the chair and the view from the southernmost point of Europe Then they came up with an idea. They took a huge chair and placed it on the rock of Tripiti. What was the meaning behind it? That real-life is in pure nature. The chair is placed on a rock 2.50 meters high and on a compass with the four points of the horizon On the back of the chair it is written the instructions “Smile, Relax”, meaning that only in this way you can find the peace and the rest you seek.
