It was a privilege to contribute our knowledge and insights on the cultivation, harvesting, and processing of mastiha prior to publication, and help ensure that this story — inspired by Chios, its maritime heritage, and the unique tradition of mastiha cultivation — was represented with authenticity and care.
We would like to thank Kostas Krommydas for the trust he placed in us and for bringing the story of our island to life through literature.
The book is expected to be translated into English in the near future, allowing even more readers around the world to discover Chios, its people, and the mastiha tradition that continues to shape the island through generations.
