Leros – If someone tells me again about that hospital…

I was clueless about Leros. I did not know anything, except perhaps the fact that the island is part of the Dodecanese, along with Rhodes, Kos, Patmos and other more well known islands. I did not even remember about the island’s infamous psychiatric hospital, which used to be in the…

Patmos – Enjoy the Silence

As if Leros was not enough, we left for two days and went to Patmos. Patmos …What a strange place. It seems like all life revolves around the monastery in Hora: everything opens and closes according to the visiting hours of the monastery of St. John, which is located in…

Πωλείται όπως είναι επιπλωμένο

Είναι σαν να φεύγεις από το χωριό σου και να μην ξαναπατάς ποτέ. Περίεργο, έτσι;   Αυτές οι αναμνήσεις είναι τελικά το μόνο που θα μου μείνει από εκείνο το σπίτι στο Καστρί.   Ο πατέρας μου που έσκαβε με την αξίνα κι εγώ μετέφερα το χώμα με καροτσάκι για…

Autumn in Pelion

Mt Pelion, near Portaria
