Summer Adventures

                         Sunset hour: Castle & Lakki
                        Mylos fish restaurant - Agia Marina

This year, our summer holidays was for first time too early... Just in the first days of July! In 10 days, we managed to fit two different destinations. A three day trip to North Evia to attend a wedding and then departure straight away for Athens to catch the plane for Leros, which was departing at dawn. 
In our beloved island we spend the rest 7 days of our holidays enjoying the sea, the sun and delicious sea food.... What I liked most this year, was the calmness that prevailed everywhere in the island!(Unfortunately, because of the Greek people difficult economic situation and the capital controls which have just been implemented in the country). Ιt was magnificent to get up early  in the morning and walk along to the sea coast, listening only to the light sound of the ripples. After a lot hours of swimming and sunbathing in the pure and crystal water of the island and taking pictures of everything around me, it was time to go back in the everyday life... This is always a hard time!!! 
During August, we had also the opportunity for a short break of two days in Marmari with some friends and then we spent all of the rest August weekends swimming in Attica's beaches all day long with the company of our beloved friends... 
In a few words, it was a great summer which offered me the relaxation I needed after two very difficult years and such a gruelling winter, giving me the opportunity to come again close to people I couldn't see during the last two years, due to lack of time.

Sunday Morning Tales


Last Sunday of August today.... It 's a good reason to spend all day long in the beach in order to enjoy  the hot sun (we need to preserve our summer tan :)... don't you think?), the light sea breeze, the sound of the cicadas, the light sea ripple and last but not least the revitalising cool water! 
Don't hurry to leave the beach... Today, is the day after the August fool moon, so it will be equally a wonderful night by the beach. Get organised... Take with you a good wine, some finger food, a light blanket and create unique memories of a romantic night, far away from the city noise and the every day life!!!

Let the Spring begin


Happy March my friends!!! Spring is finally here with its beauties around us... The nature awakes from hibernation and everywhere around us little flowers starting to bloom! As the winter treated me badly (so many serious health problems which forced me to stay in bed at home, almost two months) I can't wait for the weather to become warmer, in order to start walking around with my camera. The start was made yesterday, as we went with my husband for a stroll by the sea in the National Park of Schinias. An amazing place for walking especially this time of year where you can both enjoy sea and forest, as there is a unique ecosystem here!!!

Sunday Morning Tales


A blissful Sunday is waking up in a cozy room which offers a breathtaking view of the sea while you enjoy your breakfast... I would prefer a hot chocolate and a generous piece of apple strudel for this morning!

Snowy suburbs


Thursday, on the way home I faced the view of the snowy mountain of Penteli... Oh, this view was really breathtaking, as the sky was totally sunny and the snow was shinning. As I couldn't resist to this totally white snowy view, instantly I changed my plans and I follow the road to Penteli in order to take a break from the routine and fill my lungs with fresh, cold air. It was really a refreshing moment for my mind as I have spent the last two months housebound and mostly lying in bed, cause of a serious health problem...

Sunday Morning Tales


As I feel lately so tired & the weather becomes colder enough, the only thing I would like to do today, is to stay at home near the warmth of the fireplace and just snuggle up with a warm blanket, drinking a cup of tea, listening jazz & making plans on how I will decorate my home for Christmas, next week...

Happy September


One of my favorite months is here... Full of color as a lot of autumn plants blossom this period, warm enough for sunbathing & swimming & in the same time pretty cool in order to enjoy an evening walk near the sea or watch a film in an outdoor cinema....
Happy September my friends!!!

Summer Adventures


Here I am again, after a little break for my summer holidays... This year we visited our beloved island of Leros for a week (unfortunately we could not stay further due to our work) of ultimate relaxation!!! The only thing we had to do those few days, was to spend endless hours in the beach (my favorite is Aghia Kioura, see photo No 18) enjoying the tranquillity and the turquoise pure water of the sea, gathering with our friends and family every evening or riding our bikes late in the night, across the coast road between Alinda & Aghia Marina, where we enjoyed the special night view of the castle and the beauty of the sea which was every night so calm... It looked like a swimming pool where the island's lights was mirroring in it! 
Now back in reality with full batteries, tanned skin and beautiful memories from an amazing place and wonderful people, I am ready for new projects and challenges!!!

Summer Break


This Summer, put your phone away for a few days. 
Make some memories that no one knows about. 
Make some memories that are just yours...
Happy holidays my friends!!!

Sunday Morning Tales


The only thing I want for August days is hanging out on a secluded sandy beach, enjoying the hot sun and the calmness of the nature... and when I will feel thirsty & hungry in the middle of the day, to enjoy a piece of cool watermelon!!!
Happy Sunday my friends!

Sunday Morning Tales


This shady corner is the ideal place to continue your Sunday, after having spent a good amount of hours tanning under the hot summer sun... 
This combination of a tranquil outdoor in white hues surrounded by bougainvilleas in vivid fuchsia (they are in their best this time of year) and pines, offering an amazing view of the sea, is the place I am dreaming to spend my Sunday summer noons! I think there is nothing better of relaxing in an outdoor like this, reading your favorite book while feeling the breeze and hearing the sounds of the nature... The ultimate relaxation after a hard week! 
And far the best meal for a hot day, couldn't be anything else than a delicious Greek salad with enough feta cheese, extra virgin olive oil, fresh oregano and freshly baked bread...

Sunday Morning Tales


Today I feel really blessed... I had the opportunity -after a long time- to meet  some very good friends of mine and have a lunch with them. This is what I can call a Sunday bliss!!! A lovely Spring sunny morning gathering with your beloved ones and then enjoying a delicious lunch with tasty snacks, cold beer and much fun... I love those little moments of our life which break the monotony and make us again feel like children, even if the majority of our party's members have now their own kids!

Happy May day!


Happy May day my friends!!! Today, the weather is amazingly perfect! Ideal for a walk in the countryside in order to gather a bouquet of wildflowers for our May flower wreath! I took a great inspiration from daises, a humble yet so beautiful flower, for the creation of this year's wreath; I hope to find a good amount of them... Otherwise, Greek countryside is full of wildflowers this time of year!!! Have a wonderful day whatever you do...

Sunday Morning Tales


Can you imagine something better than sitting in this lovely balcony in Serifos island with good company, gazing at the deep blue of the Aegean sea and tasting delicious seafood and fresh fish (as the custom is for Palm Sunday),while drinking a glass of cold raki?
I wish you to have a happy day spent with your beloved ones and a blessed Holy Week!

100 TERRACES looking at Acropolis


In the centre of Athens there is a unique place on the planet! Acropolis stands proudly in the hilltop for 2452 years... Down the hill a city grew and expanded over the centuries. The city and the Acropolis are the subject of a new project started on 1st January 2014 and finished on 10th April. Every day, a new photo of the Athens Acropolis taken from a different rooftop by Thodoris Georgakopoulos was uploaded on Instagram & on Tumblr. 100 days after, there is a unique collection of 100 different views of Acropolis... Here, I present you my favorites. If you would like to see all of them, visit 100taratses.com
