Nasia Dafioti

Nasía Dafioti has been living on the beautiful island of Lesvos since 1993, close to the Asia Minor coast, the homeland of her grandparents. She spent her childhood in Germany, where she was born. Her refugee heritage and experience with migration fostered and developed her connection to fairy tales and her nostalgia for the sea, which transported and comforted her during the challenging moments of her life. As an adult, she found herself in Cyprus, where she gave birth to her three children. Her daily occupation is with the state radio. Additionally, she is involved in music and teaches theater education in public schools.
