The first and the last thing you'll see when you visit Crete by ferry are the mountains. Taller or shorter, depending on the port you are, it doesn't really matter. They are all part of the island's identity,

The first walk of 2025 held no surprises. A bright sunshine, a slightly cool breeze, just enough to remind us that we are in the middle of the winter and people enjoying a seaside walk on a holiday. And

One month, six towns, several villages and rural areas, in some of the most interesting parts of Greece! No wonder why I packed both my dslr, a tripod, my mac and the spare monitor. I was expecting this

A bunch of hawks were circling above our heads for hours. They are a beautiful sight, especially if you are not a prey for them :) Some people say that it is a good omen to see hawks but there are a lot

The third day of our mini trip started with a walk at the part of the old town that we had missed the previous day. The Venetian lighthouse was glowing under the wonderful sunshine and we were grateful

The term "silk road" refers to the ancient routes connecting Far East with Europe and Africa and took its name from the trade of silk, produced in China. We are talking about an era six to twenty

The sun was about to set and I was in the car, moving on the seaside road, when I saw them. Fortunately I wasn't driving so I had the chance to gaze across the tranquil water and spot them. At last! After

The elderly were sitting on the benches for their daily dose of fresh air and chatting while I was in my, once in a while, photographic expedition at the park's flower beds. One small swift on my focusing

First it was the city. Big, chaotic, grey. Then it was the village. Small, scenic, integrated with nature. And then it was the small town. And a workshop combining all the above. Bringing the colours of

Sometimes life can be thorny, hostile and spiny. And the closer you get to a milestone, the harder it may look to keep going. It has happened to all and will keep happening. The biggest the change we are

Do you greet strangers in the street? I am not talking about busy city streets, where you cross your path with dozens of people per minute, that would be impossible. But in a village, a small park or even

I was walking with a few visitors the other day, in the historical centre of the town. They were a big family, nine people in total. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, enjoying the sightseeing

People that don't know me tend to address to me in English. In shops, at the fruit market, on the street, even a neighbour in a block of flats that I go in and out for years, it doesn't really matter.

I was relaxed and unconcerned, having a carefree morning walk. No bad thoughts in my head, not a hint of something remotely dangerous around me. The town is small and safe, the weather wonderful and the

As we were approaching the entrance of the beach, the sound of silence was deafening. This place hasn't been so quiet for months. Considering that yesterday was the most crowded day that I witnessed all

The curious faces of the clerks were disappearing in the shadows and the windows of the town hall were closing, one after another. A camera on a tripod, a small aquarium on a pedestal and a weird guy carrying

It rained yesterday. A rain long awaited after an extremely hot and arid summer. It was accompanied by thunders and lightnings, as well as a notice from the authorities to be cautious during the thunderstorm.
