Description
The village of Olympos, north of the Greek island of Karpathos, is one of the few matriarchal societies in Europe where women are in charge. Isolated from the rest of the Dodecanese island, the spectacular hillside village has safeguarded this centuries-old tradition, which has survived the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century and Italian rule in the 20th.
