The island is only tiny, about two kilometers wide, but bursting with life in a way that makes you want to shout from its hilltops. I bet that's exactly what our ancestors were doing in pre-historic times, but I suppose you would expect pre-historic ancestors to do nothing less. Putting them aside, though, if you were a tiny little bit open to soaking up what this island has to offer, the �shouting� bit might seem far less strange because Burgaz gets under your skin and stays there.
