travel journal: Greece

part 2 

Visiting Greece every summer for a couple of days, has become a family tradition for me. For almost six years now, Greece has occupied a special place in my heart and it still does. However this is the first year that I actually take my camera along and also the first year that I am lucky enough to document my trip on the blog. So take a seat and a cup of tea and enjoy my journal.

day 1 // wearing: ZARA dress

 - on day one we did a little tour on Sithonia, there were a lot of places where you could stop and admire the view such as the one above -
 - we then stopped at a tavern called Panorama where we had our lunch, although the food was not exceptional, the view was great so I was able to get past that -
 - what I like most about traveling is exploring and finding unique places, I like the diversity of flower pots shown below and also the surroundings of the tavern -
 - below is the view I had from my table at the tavern -

day 2 & day 3 // I mostly went to the beach

day 4 // wearing: Mango dress and Pimkie sandals
 - on this day we visited an old town called Partenonas, where I really enjoyed the architecture and also the mix of stone and flowers -

 - of course, as always, I am taking a picture in front of a door, predictable -

- then when we felt famished and thirsty we stopped at Paul's Tavern, a really nice traditional restaurant where the food was absolutely amazing; this time I got the chance to take a few pictures of the salads, the souvlaki and the delicious moussaka -
- we also visited an olive grove -

 day 5, day 6 & day 7 // we went to the beach again

day 8 // we visited a little town called Gerakini
 - on this day a tried some fried calamari and also some mussels in sauce -
- this town had a slightly more modern architecture and was also closer to the sea -

day 9 & day 10 // guess what? we went to the beach again

I had one of the most amazing summers so far, I want to take my family for this trip and also my friends, for giving me some of the most special moments.
Thank you for reading and see you next post!

Guess who is back? After such a long time, I finally got out of my cave. These past two months have been the most stressful and, at the same time, the most amazing that I have had in a long time. I hope you will be pleased to know that I got into the university that I wanted. I am so proud of myself and of how I have grown both intellectually and spiritually.  I came back to what I like doing best, photo-shoots! You must thank my dear friend Diana for the photos your are going to see below, as she was my accomplice. So, make sure you take a look at her blog and I promise you will be pleasantly surprised. The outfit pictured in this post came as response to the scandalously hot weather. I wanted it to be classy, flowy and, at the same time, really comfortable. I have recently bought this black jumpsuit especially for summertime. What I love most about it is the not so usual wide leg lower part. However, despite its slightly unusual cut, it is very versatile and can b

went North, found Oslo

Image
My latest travel consists in a little adventure up north in the Scandinavian city of Oslo. To sum it up in a few words, this is among the few places that make me feel like I would actually like to live in it and not just be a tourist. I always prefer to let the photos do the talking for me.  - our airbnb -  - the touristy stuff - Oslo Opera House - my favorite place in Oslo must be the home of The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet , and the national opera theatre in Norway - Barcode Project - a geometric system that stands out architecturally (as I later found out, there has been intense public debate about the height and shape of the buildings) - Vigeland Park - the world's largest sculpture park made by a single artist - Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art - this is a place where you have to set some time aside to visit it completely - Oslofjorden - seen bellow from opposite sides (photos taken one da

winter recap

Image
Spring has almost landed on our planet. Winter is doomed to be over, and although there are a few traces of it left here or there, we can acknowledge that the weather is getting warmer and the days brighter. This being said, I would like to make a review of my winter using my Instagram  photos and also other pictures I took during these months. December December was nice. We had a snowless Christmas which was not so bad. As you can see I got the chance to decorate my room with beautiful bouquets of roses. I was also the Santa of my classroom, meaning that I was the one who distributed the gifts at the Secret Santa event. One night, coming home from a meditation class, I took a photo of the majestic Christmas tree placed in the central part of the city. January Well, we actually got some snow in January. I was also far more productive when it comes to school and taking photos. On the first pic you can see the not so festive napkins I used when setting the table on the f
