We were walking the dog when we saw it! How on earth did we forgot about this? We were discussing the whole week that it is coming and now that it is here, we had forgotten it! If we had taken a different

Oh my God, how much blue do you spend, to keep us from seeing You! Odysseas Elytis This quote, written by a Greek poet and roughly translated by me, is the first thing that came to my mind, looking at

The first leaves of the pomegranate trees were shining under the sun, as an undeniable sign of spring. And the calendar agrees this time. It is not one hasty tree that was fooled by the mild and warm winter.

Spring is officially here, in the northern hemisphere that is, and a walk in the countryside is a must. And if you can't be physically in nature, a virtual walk will have to do. A walk like the one I am

I woke up just after dawn and I went to the window, as I do every morning, to take a look at the park and the old castle. Two young fellows were sitting on a bench, drinking the last beer of the night.

Even when I was living in a big city, I tended to create my own microcosm. A handful of friends, a couple of favourite places to go out to and a few favourite walking routes. Out of a vast city, I was

It was windy all day and I hate taking the boat when the sea is rough. But I had to. And I wasn't in a good mood! Nevertheless we arrived at Tinos around noon. A bit dizzy but safe :) The first thing to

This was the last quiet walk before the three-day festivities for the Clean Monday. Flocks of tourists are on their way or are already here and the town itself is getting ready for a few very busy and

Last week I climbed the stairs to the castle. It was a brilliant spring day, the hillside was bursting with wild flowers and bloomed almond trees. The sun was shinning relentlessly! I climbed the stairs

I had a good eight hours sleep tonight, way more than my usual six. It happens once in a while and I always take it as an unexpected gift :) If you don't have any trouble in sleeping as much as you need

Crete is known as a summer destination and it is mostly famous for its amazing beaches and seaside resorts. Millions of tourists visit it every year and the vast majority of them remain close to the sea.

I loved that house the moment I laid eyes on it! Old enough to awake all the nostalgic feelings that I tend to fall for, so easily and at the same time in a condition good enough to live in, without all

I stopped the car on the edge of the road and stepped out with my camera in hand. Limeni is a tiny settlement but boy, is it beautiful! It is one of the rare occasions where natural beauty and men's creations

Have you ever lived in a place with almond trees? Not a plantation but scattered trees growing voluntarily, here and there, among other indigenous trees. That was the case with my previous residence and

I approached the Cyclopean Masonry filled with admiration and respect. Those walls stand here since time immemorial and even the Ancient Greeks couldn't figure out how they were built. It was them that

It was only yesterday that I was telling that I don't have to be in a meadow to feel the coming of spring, which is true, but in a meadow, surrounded by wild flowers, it is much easier! And much more pleasant,

I have always said that spring is the best season for outdoors photography. The light is just the best possible. The sun is soft, nothing like the harsh light of the summer and low enough to point out

Everyone was speaking quietly as they were looking in awe the amazing construction of the tomb. Myself, as I was taking pictures from the edge of the vaulted chamber, I felt like I was watching the stage

The guard had practically kicked us out of the archaeological site so we took the road to the beach. Anyway it was time for our lunch and although it was out of season, we could probably find some seaside

I have a dream, a dream that goes away every night and returns with the first light of the dawn. A dream full of light and growth. I dream life. DAY 1 I dream of dark soil rich and fluffy, full of nutrients
