Night in Panagia 2

An evening in Panagia

Yesterday my companion and I were circling hotels on Golden Beach. It was very cold. Totally unexpected. The hotels were empty, our voices were echoing through hallways, there weren’t chairs or tables to sit down, and I was writing this standing, with my barely moveable fingers. For the end we left hotel Yoannis located on Golden Beach. The mother of the owner of the hotel answered the phone and told

Today was a beautiful day for a walk. As I mentioned somewhere, a footpath between Pefkari and Limenaria was made, and I hope that it will be completed between Pekfari and Potos.

Now you can easily reach Limenaria from Pefkari, taking a light walk through the beautiful nature. The track is ideal for those who like to jog. On the way to Limenaria, you will pass along several beautiful wild bays,

Thank you, Anna

Dear Anči, my dearest! I shall commence this letter of gratitude with a beautiful word about you. Anči is, as I would put it, a rare individual among people!

Kastro village Thassos Greece 2

Kastro in February

During their vacation on Thasos, tourists visit the village of Kastro. I don’t find that necessary since the only time village is full of life is during the winter. During the summer it resembles a nice weekend getaway on the top of the mountain and there is no reason to spend one of the 10 days you have on Kastro.

What is Kastro for the islanders?
Kastro is a medieval village, located
