Rhodos, Greece

Hello dear ones, I am glad to come to you this week with the experience I had in Rhodes. Was awesome! A place that I wholeheartedly recommend you visit. You have the vlog here, and below I leave you some details and photos. Our trip was 7 nights, 8 days. I left Bucharest by plane. When we arrived at the airport, the gentleman from the agency where we had rented the car with a name plate was waiting for us. I paid for 8 days = 175 euros, and the gas for all the walks I did was 80 euros. This is the website where we rented the car. I highly recommend them, they were very nice, we rented a bigger car because we were 5 people and we had a lot of luggage. I did not need any deposit or advance. I paid when I got to the airport and that was it. Because our flight was in the evening, we decided to stay in Rhodes Town (which is a 20 minute drive from the airport) on the first night and set off on the 2nd day to the resort where we were staying - Kiotari (43 km) of Rhodos Town). We visited Old Town Rhodes both day and evening and it is simply charming: the Palace of the Grand Masters (entrance 8 euros), Knights Street, the alleys, the port, the place where the Colossus of Rhodes was, everything is absolutely gorgeous. Note: Excursions to Simi Island are made only from the port of Rhodes. We failed to make...

Athens. The place where I felt like a Goddess

Athens. The place where I felt like a goddess. I warn you that it is an article with many photos! There were so many wonderful things to see and remember there that I couldn't stop taking pictures. Greece is always a good idea! That was proven to me again. I went to Athens at the end of February; This city has a very positive vibe, the people are relaxed, the Greeks takes care to make your stay as pleasant as possible. I would never get bored of walking on their streets, admiring the greenery and trees full of oranges, looking at the Acropolis or the blue sea, eating olives. We stayed for 3 nights in Athens, in the Monastiraki neighborhood, at the Athens Luxury Mansion, a very nice Boutique hotel with a story rooftop, where we served breakfast. What a great place to start your day! Staying there meant being close to everything we wanted to see, we were, basically, 7 minutes away from Monastiraki Square (where there was a subway station), 10 minutes to Acropolis and so on. We are right in the historical center. We came by plane, from the airport I took the subway to the Hotel. The price of a subway ticket from airport to center is 10 euros and the journey time was 40 minutes. As I said earlier, Athens offers you a very special energy, a good contagious disposition, in a cool way. I will tell you what I saw, what we ate and why we enjoyed it. 1.First...

Meteora, Greece! Suspended in the air!

This week we are thinking about Meteora, Greece. What place! What a marvel of nature! It leaves you breathless, opens your thoughts and fills your soul with positive energy and light. This year we chose Greece again as a holiday destination and decided to stop at this legendary place. Meteora (Greek Μετέωρα, ad literally "the middle of the sky", "suspended in the air" or "up in the sky" - etymologically referring to "meteorite") is one of the largest and most important Orthodox monastery complexes in Greece, the second after Mount Athos. A place that seems unreal, considering both the unique relief forms in the respective geographical area, as well as the location of the 6 monasteries on the peaks of the mountainous formations. At this moment the Meteora complex consists of 6 monasteries, one more beautiful than the other. The writings mention that initially there were 24 monasteries, but half were destroyed by the Turks, and the rest, up to 6, were destroyed during the Second World War. Some of them were abandoned and later reoccupied, now in Unesco heritage. The rocks on the top of which the monasteries are built are, according to ancient writings, rocks sent to earth from heaven, hence the name of meteors, to allow the ascetics to retreat and pray. Monastic life began at Meteora around the 9th century. Saint Athanasius being forced to leave Mount Athos, he comes here in 1334 with other monks and begins to raise on a rock at 613 m altitude a...

Greece, my love! Stories from Corfu island

I always loved going to the sea. My great loves are the summer and the sea, this fatal combination always has the power to deeply relax and make me very happy. After a holiday in Greece, life has a much tougher and more beautiful taste, and the memories you make there and the pictures you take in your heart will stay there the year round. Only when you hear something about that pearl of Europe, a smile will instantly appear on your face. It is a balm for muddy, stressful and tiring days. Greece, my love. Our adventure took place in Corfu. From Bucharest we started on the road and the first stop was obviously in Thessaloniki. By car from Bucharest to Igoumenitsa port, from where you get on the ferry to the island of Corfu, it is around 1000 km. We preferred a stop on the way to rest and visit the city of Thessaloniki if it was on our way. The fuel costs around 350 euros for a return journey, and the ferry tax is about 50 euros for a car and 2 passengers. 1. Thessaloniki was founded by Cassandra of Macedonia [5] in 315 BC, and so named in honor of his wife, daughter of Philip II, Thessalonica, the step-sister of Alexander the Great. The name of Thessalonica comes from the contraction of the Greek words of Thessalian ( Thessalón, in Greek: "thessali") and victory ("victory"), commemorating the victory of the Macedonians over the inhabitants of Focida, with the...
