The legendary pop star David Bowie he had visited Apocalypse Island in the summer of 1985, invited to the Aga Khan’s home. The discreet presence and friendly disposition of the legendary rock star had left the best impressions on the island’s inhabitants and had given rise to rumors that the unforgettable singer had bought a house on the island, which was however not true.

As reported by elenasdiary_blog which publishes the photo, Bowie’s love for Greece, which he had visited several times, was great: As noted by Yiannis Petridis “It is certainly not original that David loved Greece. In the three days we hosted him and his friend Iggy Pop together with our unforgettable friend Mikis Korinthios, we traveled for three days to the archaeological sites of our homeland and apart from music we talked about our history and how important a role it has played in the history of the whole planet. They were both impressed, as was the secretary who accompanied them and was huddled with them in the back seat of Austin, by the visit to Delphi and the immense peace offered by the landscape and the view of Sounio”
