Preveza vacation – Day 1 | Travel

Sep182013

As most of you know, I didn’t go anywhere this summer so I was happy to book a short vacation in the middle of September for a change. Me and T. travelled to prefecture of Preveza, Greece, and spent some days visiting the nearby cities. I’m not going to write about our hotel here, because I’m thinking of doing a review post, if anyone’s interested, so I’m going straight to the rest of Day 1. After 4+ hours of travelling from Thessaloniki, we reached the hotel at noon tired, so we decided to go to the city of Preveza later that afternoon. It was too sunny to take more decent photos but I did my best. I wore a super casual outfit to travel and I decided to keep the same for our walk through the city. We were planning to return to the city of Preveza in the next days as well, but we didn’t have enough time. Check out the photos and the labels underneath them. And stay tuned for Day 2 on Friday.

Chalkidiki Diary

Aug62012

As you already know, 2 weeks after my vacation to Chios, I left again, this time for Chalkidiki, the heaven on earth for us living in Thessaloniki. When I go to Chalkidiki, I usually stay at my cousin’s summer house, just outside N.Marmaras. The house is in a very quiet area, surrounded by trees, and almost-wild nature, and it’s only a few meters away from the beach (although you need to walk a lot to get there). My uncle bought the land many years ago, and built a cute house there, under 2 huge plane trees (platanus). You may remember telling you how much I love the platanus smell on last year’s post about Chalkidiki.

Day 6 in Chios – Daskalopetra, Kardamila, Lagada

Jul272012

Day 6 begun with a walk to Daskalopetra, which was in the same area as our hotel. Just a few meters away from our hotel was Daskalopetra, or Homer’s Rock, one of the island’s best known monuments. It is considered to be the place where Homer used to teach his students.

Day 3 in Chios – Pirgi, Mesta, Emporios, Komi

Jul132012

Day 3 of our trip to Chios was completely free from wedding stuff. My aunt and cousin didn’t need us, so it was the perfect chance to start touring the island a bit. With my mom as our tour guide, we took our rental car, and begin our trip to Mastichochoria (the mastic villages in Greek). I took many photos so be prepared for a picture loaded post again.

Our first stop was the medieval village Pirgi, which has the largest population of Mastichochoria. Most of Pirgi’s houses are painted with the “xista” technique, which makes the village unique. Here’s a small sample of the houses, and the village.
