The island was blessed with all the picturesque views and all the amazing things one can come across here, just a perfect place to give birth to Venus de Milo - in fact, there couldn't be a better place. The warm volcanic sea waters and the hot volcanic sand where the locals can cook their food, the colourful fishing villages, the secluded beaches with access only from the sea, the amazing volcanic ranges of all colours imaginable - and of course the hospitable people.
I will always remember the emerald water of the Aegean seas, the rocky beaches and well hidden caves, the typical bleached houses with doors and window frames painted all the imaginable hues of the sea - blue, aquamarine and turquoise - the colour of Greece..., the beautiful sunsets best watched from Plaka, the old town and the highest point of the island, and of course the little tavernas with a huge variety of tasty Greek food grown in the sun kissed fields and cooked traditionally. And if you went there once - you will come back.. Anyone would.
Every Greek island is different, it is really hard to pick the favourite one. I have still not decided for myself...

Me he quedado sin palabras. Es maravilloso. Siempre he querido visitar las Islas Griegas, tal vez algún día tenga oportunidad. Gracias por compartir un poquito de toda esa belleza.
Cuando la mano humana enmarca los colores de la naturaleza la belleza se complementa llenando a los ojos que la perciben de alegría y deseos de conocer más.
I've only been to Crete, this brings back memories.. i love Makali's song playing along these gorgeous photos, x
Stunning pictures Olga! As usual your pictures have the ability to place us there. It looks like we are walking through those little streets, laying on the beach and exploring the islands. I've never been in Greece. I've been quite near (Italy and Turkey) but never on the islands. I'll surely plan some holidays there. It's one of my top priorities. No doubt that all that green sea and the quietness of the surroundings make my favorite kind of place.What do you like most there?
It's a big surprise and pleasure for me every time i see pics from my country (especially from the perfect islands) in the foreign web pages and blogs...
The last two years Greece has been going through one of the most critical periods in its entire history!!! Bad politicians (killers, criminals, you know), stole and destroyed everything in my country and now no one knows how to face this disaster. The external public debt is incredibly huge!!! As a result, my poor country has a great need from everyone (country or anything else) to be positive for it and help... That's why i want to thank you many times Olga for your positive post and nice Greek pics...
PS. Once upon a time there was a country that was called Greece. It was the best country in the world!!! About now, nothing, nothing at all...
Greek islands are on my ever growing list of places to visit!
Thank you for sharing such beautiful and sunny pictures..we had snow last night and I'm writing you wrapped up in a cosy blanket :)
