“From the iconic Acropolis, rising above the city, to charming up and coming neighborhoods and contemporary art galleries, the city of Classic Marathon and Olympic Games is a majestically quirky clash of past and present”, a brief description of Athens reads, posted on the European Best Destinations’ website.

“One of the world’s oldest cities with a recorded history of 3,500 years, the Greek capital is constantly undergoing urban renewals to keep up with the evolution of time. Athens lives up to all the hype!”

Last year Athens came in third place in the prestigious electronic pool for best European destination.

New Review on Tripadvisor: “5-star experience in quiet corner of the island”

Reviewed 2 days ago..

''Loved the place!

 Modern apartment, few steps from the (kind of) private beach and nice walking distance to the nearby seaside village with restaurants and shops. 

The owner adds a touch of warm welcome and that combined with great local food and perfect weather/sea duo makes me to plan to come back. 

Geocaching opportunities nearby. Also easy rental of a scooter or at least one boat trip are local "must do-s".

Hello Monday...

Have a wonderful week with much love, peace & joy!


SouthWest of Crete: must to do..

The Samaria Gorge

 
Probably the most stunning natural location on any of the islands, the Samaria Gorge in Crete is like a time capsule that takes you back into a time before modern day life. 

Entering the gorge through its upper entrance, you feel as if you are in another world, a fantasy world, dreamt up by writers for some epic quest. Truly awe-inspiring.

However, not only does it feature jaw-dropping views, but exciting hiking trails, walkways, old rope bridges, cut-away cafes and gentle flowing rivers. 
A paradise for any nature lover.
