Tainaron Blue Retreat
In the southernmost geographical point of mainland Europe, in the Cape Tainaron in Greece, a beautiful restored 19th century stone tower, has been transformed into a luxury traditional hotel which has lately opened its doors to the public.
It is situated in a unique place where the rough rocky landscape meets the tranquillity of the sea and the endless sky.
What I loved most about it, is its bold stone walls combined with cement surfaces, wood in its natural color and contemporary design furnitures.

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!!!

Sunday Morning Tales
The first Sunday of May is ideal for some sunbathing under the warm sun while reading a book near the sea, in order to charge our batteries for the new week... And later enjoying a glass of cool hand made lemonade with thyme! Have a great Sunday!!! :)

Sunday Morning Tales
Good morning people!!! As this period is really exhausting for me, with endless hours of working and without a day of rest, I could consider today's post as the ideal mind trip!
When I first saw this heaven place, I felt that this is what I could think as the ideal place for summer holidays... A tiny hutlike structure surrounded by palms that houses the bedroom and bath. Every other living spaces including kitchen, seating and dining areas are plain air... Just like a camping near the sea, enriched with a lot of style!!!

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...

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!

Midweek Stroll
Although we are almost in the middle of March and so close to the start of Spring, the weather is still chilly enough here... May be we experience the coldest time of the year! As I have a very heavy working schedule this year, I was waiting anxiously a day off in order to organize a day trip somewhere far away from the city centre! Bad weather made us to change our plans, deciding just to made a ride in the car, in the suburbs of Athens without a specific destination...
It was finally a good choice as we discovered a lovely tiny mountain road (from where we enjoyed a breathtaking view of the sea) which led in Lavrio. A town located about 60km of Athens with its own seaport and a long history, as it was famous in Classical antiquity for silver mining and then in the early 20th century for lead, manganese and cadmium mining. It is built from the scratch in 1865, based in a premium street plan with wonderful squares and a lot of well maintained neoclassical buildings!
Finally, it was such a good idea walking in the port and then strolling in the streets of this lovely town admiring all those gem buildings. Despite the rain and the chilly temperature we charged our batteries and we came back refreshed and relaxed!

Summer Adventures II
These few days we spent in Naxos were enough to understand the beauty of this unique island... Unfortunately, we didn't have so much time to do everything we want, but with a proper management of our time, we achieved a lot! Firstly, sightseeing the amazing old town, then discover some mountain villages* and of course delight those wonderful beaches with the turquoise crystal waters which lie behind the amazing sand dunes with the white sand... Ohh, it was an unforgettable week! It is a blessing to be in such wonderful places, swimming on those 'tropical', cold waters, sunbathing under the hot sun while the light breeze of the Aegean refresh your body.

be there right now...
*Stay tuned to see more of my summer adventures!

Kalimera!!! This is the right word to say good morning in Greek....
So, smile and say a "kalimera" to feel like you are in Greece, laying on a paradise beach, like this one in Balos bay, the unique lagoon of Crete, with its blue green waters, its pink sandy beach and famous shells!

How relaxing is it to spend all of your Sunday on the beach, letting yourself feel like a kid? I like so much those lazy Sundays... Swimming, sunbathing, reading of your favorite book, having fun with your friends, playing beach racket and admiring little kids making those beautiful sand castles...

Happy Weekend
Hello my friends!!! What are you planning for the weekend? I know that many of you are already on holidays! The others, we are just dreaming about them, for the time...
I'm planning a little escape from the city center too, in a few days! Oh, I can't wait... I'm impatient to swim in the deep blue water of the Aegean and sunbath for hours, letting my mind and my body relax from the accumulated stress and problems of the last winter and enjoy the first days of married life!
For the time, I going to wear my bathing suit and going for a bath to the nearest beach... Have a wonderful weekend whatever you'll do!!! Love you... xxx
