Greece is famous for its beautiful beaches and islands. But is also has unique landscapes on the mainland. Central Greece is not a well know destination for travelling. It is 2 hours far from Athens and has a lot to offer. One of my favorite day trips includes a visit to the archaeological site of Delphi, eating and swimming at Antikyra and an evening visit to the Monastery of Osios Loukas which is a World Heritage Monument of UNESCO. Rent a car and follow me to this day trip! Read more

No trendsetters allowed. Read more

I tasted “spoon sweets” for the very first time when I was very young. In our garden my grandfather had planted two apricot trees which made delicious apricots and their stone was as sweet as almonds. Every summer around June, my mother used to pick apricots while they were still hard. Read more
