The unknown and forgotten travelogue "To the Island" by Spyridon Paganellis, describes the impressions and overwhelming emotions of the author from a visit to his birthplace in September 1895 and was first published in the newspaper "Estia" in 1896. It is a remarkable text of exceptional beauty, remarkable linguistic accuracy and precision, full of sincere emotion, lyricism and love for nature and homeland, perhaps the most touching and nostalgic hymn (or elegy) ever composed for the famous beauty of the island of Mykonos and for the character of its inhabitants, "these exceptional islanders, who excel in intelligence, kindness, hospitality, and that natural nobility, which no upbringing can ever teach".
