The land of Blue

Greece is like a second home to me. I always carry it on my mind, and whenever I feel blue I go to Greece (on my mind I mean, I'm not that rich!!)
I've been several times to Greece and I keep coming, dicovering new tiny places, living the travels of Oddyseus, praying at the shrines of Zeus, sleeping at my dear greek buses, drinking Nescafe Frappe in the mornings, Ouzo in the evenings... burning every second!

Greece 2002

First page of my diary

I've just returned from a 2 weeks travel through Greece this august 2004. One of the best travels of my life, indeed.
I've made a new and better diary this time, with watercolors, stamps, labels, objects, leaf... and besides, IN ENGLISH!
Take a look at my travelogue.

Your tips are really good.. I hope you didnt learn about tripping and falling over ropes and having your things fall into the water firsthand.

Oh and how I miss the Kaphe Frappe!! You really seem to think about Greece the way I do. I invite you to visit my pages as well, it's the Eastern lonesome islands I have visited.

You can come and swim with me at the lake in Vouliagmeni any day of the year. (see my Attiki pages) I was swimming on the 2nd day of 2006:):)
