Agistri island is only an hour and half away from Athens’ port of Piraeus. It’s great for a quick escape from the city. Many people just go for the day. Others spend the weekend there. I only went for the day. It was my first time there and I wish that I had gone years ago. It was breathtakingly beautiful. The island allows cars, but you have to make a reservation. A car isn’t needed though, as the island is quite small and all the beaches can be reached by bus with a cost of 2 euros. There are nice shops and fish taverns and beach bars.

I really enjoyed my time there and would visit again in the future 🙂

I’ve reached 700+ followers! 🙂 Thank you!

A very talented Greek musician named Christos Barbas asked for my permission to use one of my favourite photos of a jasmine flower for his music video.

Music sees no borders. Enjoy 🙂

Many thanks to Christo for using my photograph. 🙂

ΚΑΛΟ ΜΗΝΑ! Happy New Month!

When I was trying to come up with a title for this post I quickly typed the phrase ‘In the pink’. I didn’t know why and where that came from. Out of curiosity I decided to look it up and was surprised to find out that it actually means something. According to dictionary.com ‘in the pink’ is and English idiom and it means to be in extremely good health and spirits. And in the 1500’s ‘pink’ meant ‘the embodiment of perfection’.

When used in a sentence one would say: ‘Suzy recovered from the flu and is feeling pink again.’

I have never heard anyone use this phrase or word this way. It’s new to me.

So I hope and wish that everyone be in the pink when all this craziness is over. And may it end soon.
