You know those times when you reach a point where you can’t take it anymore and you just need to escape? It doesn’t matter where to. You just need to go. That’s exactly what happened with me (and fortunately my travel bestie Nicole) last March and while on the phone one day we decided to…

Istanbul, a city on a tightrope
It was colours, it was flavours, it was people. It was experiences, details, history, past and future. It was East and West, it was all that in a bizarre blend – an acrobat that is gracefully walking on a tightrope with torn sand bags in his two hands which may at some point cause him…
Villa Mimosa – A small paradise in Lefkada island
I know, I know. I never write anything these days. Well, what can I say. Inspiration does not come easily when you spend the whole day running like a crazy person for the everyday errands. It is actually very hard as when posting something on the blog I do not just write my thoughts, I…
“Industrial art”
Oh, it’s been so long since I last posted. I am not sure exactly why, but sometimes you just are not in the mood and you have to stop. That stop took one year for me, but well. I only want to write about things that I personally like and not to feel the pressure…
Lost Obsessive Violent Emotional
Insomnia is the least of my problems right now, as the night ahead seems to be long and filled with contrasting thoughts. What does it mean to love someone? To actually feel things for them beyond apparent reason or logic? Is this normal? Safe? Sane? Or just a passing infatuation that will last only a…
Argyro Handmade Jewelry
There are some lifelong friendships that are able to last through the years no matter what happens. These are mostly counted with one hand and have passed so many stages and ups and downs and have formed a base so strong that nothing can crack it. This is something I feel with Iro. A partner in crime…
Μodcloth gift guide*
Hey, its that time of the year again, so I thought that instead of writing serious stuff, or resolutions, or wishes, etc, why not make another Wish List post for cute little presents? New discovery of mine? Modcloth.com. Here are some favorites for (ehm) mostly your girlfriends. But then again, maybe not… 🙂 1. Straps, Perhaps…
A spash of color in a grey city.
Athens is a difficult city. A place that we, Athenians, love to hate. A messy, dirty, confusing mix of everyone’s taste, views, culture and ideas. All that, combined with heavily uncontrolled urban growth and layers of sudden historical changes, have created this tightly formed knot of interesting interactions and liveliness in an environment that sure scares you…
Paris, a delicate story
It is the winter that somehow makes this city even more magical. I find something less touristic about cold, wet, winter night walks and crossing bridges in windy days. The scenery of less crowded streets is really making you imagine of times long past, of elegant ladies under umbrellas held by gentlemen, or Parisian cafes filled with delicacies and of…
Lefkada. Our first Retreat. Gather, relax, enjoy.
Us humans are sociable creatures. We like to meet, gather, exchange, learn from each other, discover, mingle. But we also love peaceful moments, relaxation, wellness, finding a deeper connection with our mind and bodies, taking care of ourselves. We also love good food. So what if we could combine all of the above into one…
Monemvasia, a place for dreams
If I could travel to different places as often as I wish to, I think it would fulfill many gaps in my life. Wandering, discovering, trying, tasting, taking photos, becoming a part of a different place for a while. It can give you so much more. It can teach you so much more as well….
