When Hemingway wrote his famous short story, The Old Man and The Sea, he chose the character of an elderly, traditional fisherman, because there are no young ones left to take over the way of their fathers.  Fishing in Greece, like so many other traditional occupations, is undergoing a transition, as the younger generation ventures to more lucrative occupations.  Here you catch a glimpse of a traditional Ios fisherman mending his nets in the dawning of the morning.
