Part two was Corfu in August. Thanks to my aunts Lenio and Koula and cousin Lola and everyone else who was there we had the best time during our stay. There was a terrible heatwave with temperatures exceeding 37 °C, and Myrto would wake up at 6 am, but anyway…
It has been a while since our last trip (last summer with our 3-month-old baby Myrto who now is 16 months old). This year we had the chance to have an extended vacation, so we travelled to three of our favourite places in Greece: Corfu, Crete and Evia. I titled…
We had promised we would have a special feature about beaches we have visited, so here is our “Best Beaches” photo album! (Photo locations are available in the Google Photos album)
From my experience as an amateur photographer who only uses automatic cameras, the easiest way to take a good picture is to do it during the sunset. For me , the best light of the day for photography is in the afternoon, around the time the sun goes down. Here…
This summer was a bit special, because of the birth of our daughter Myrto. A friend of mine thought this would deter us from travelling and it did, but not for long. So we decided that this summer we go to Kathy’s home in Riza with the baby. As with all…

What do you know: in 2 weeks, we have visited 2 cities with names starting with “Nafp..”. Stranger stuff has happened though. Nafplio happened to be the first capital of the Greek state after the Revolution of 1821. We have been there before, many times, so there’s not much to…
Nafpaktos is a town in the mainland of Greece, on the northern coast of the Corinthian Gulf, near the Rio-Antirrio Bridge. It was a major port during the rule of the Venetians, who had fortified the city strongly.For us it was not as much a historic experience, as it was…
I suppose we are all familiar with Luc Besson’s 1998 flick “The Big Blue (Le Grande Bleu)” with Jean Reno and Jean-Marc Barr. Amorgos was, of course, one of the filming locations. Apart from this small piece of trivia, Amorgos is one of those islands in the Cyclades that used…
Summertime in Thissio, near the train station. I really liked the relaxed atmosphere, so I took a photo with my phone… quality is far from perfect, but… you get the idea.
