My week off

Monday, August 20, 2012



Here's a glimpse to the week that went by a bit too quickly (my vacation week, to be specific) as I promised. 
It consisted of mainly two things; a short but deeply enjoyed visit at my father's village down south and some reckless days by the sea, on this exact hammock. The first three photos are from our house in the village, which I can only describe as my ideal place to live (if only it was a bit closer to the city), the next two I took during my afternoon stroll at the village, whereas the sea/shore snapshots are from Rodakino beach, a wild (at heart) yet pure and powerful spot in southern Rethymno. 
These places I tend to visit more and more often as years pass by, as I find them to be totally comforting and relaxing. Having nothing to do but enjoy the scenery, swim, read, knit and drink refreshing beers at the tavern is actually the best way to recharge my batteries for, what it seems, a troubling year ahead!
Oh, I'm soon to post a few shots I took from Paradissi as well =)

P.s. Some of my Cretan adventures here and there

Images by me.

  2. I've spent my holidays in the Southeast of Spain and I found it very similar to some little villages in the South of Greece: amazing!
