Do you know what NOSTALGIA means in Greek? | St. Titus church, Heraklion. |
Nostos means the desire to return home
Algos means pain
Now, nostalgia means the pain we feel by the desire to return to the home place, when we are away...
In this VT page for Heraklion you will find my Heraklion.
The place I was born, the place my beloved family and friends live, the place I always return... |
Let's discover and rediscover it together! In August 2006, I came to Heraklion to stay for 10 days, visit my parents and have some rest. Well, Heraklion is the only place on earth, where I can really rest and recharge my batteries.
After all, there is nothing left to be discovered, everything is well known.
So in these 10 days of my stay, I had not really things to do, unless going everyday to the beach…. Ohhh No thanx, not for me! I was never a sunshine beach fan!
So what else to do? Hmmm, that's the idea!
I will take my camera, a note book and a pen and I will go out to collect information for my VT Heraklion page. And yes I did it! It was really fun to go around to places I knew, to take photos of everything and keep notes of the taxi fares and restaurants menus!
It was funny and I enjoyed it !
I hope you will enjoy it too!
Please follow me to Heraklion, my home!
