Greece... as lovely as it seems!

I dreamed of Greece but this country has never been the number 1 in my dream list. But as it always happens spontaneous trips are the best ones....

My ideas about Greece were in blue and white with some shadows of yellow. But Greece is much more than only sea, resorts, sun, temples... Discover real treasures of Greece - antique ruins and Byzantian fortresses, orthodox churches and mosques, stony landscapes and coniferous woods, orange and palm groves, the beauty of the hundreds caves, mountains, rocks, rivers, hidden beaches, sunsets, small unknown islands, ancient wild villages, customs and.........wonderful and hospitable inhabitants!

Bravo HELLAS!!!


I had a great chance to be a part of the world event that took place in Athens!

From the 13th to the 29th of August the city of Athens hosted the Games of the 28th Olympiad that are returning to their ancient birthplace after 108 years!
And from the 17th to the 28th of September about 4000 paralympic athletes had a competition in the 12 Paralympic Games!

You can find the memories from my Olympic summer in Sports Travel tips on my ATHENS page!

Greece is my third home after Latvia and France, the country I know rather good, where I have lots of great friends, where I have spent so much time working and travelling, the country where I have found sweet feelings for one greek hero who teached me so many things in this life, my greek hero whom I have lost one day...and my adorable Hellas made me an other present - I have met the love of my life - my Xavier... Efxaristo Ellada mou!
