Pictures from our Easter holidays

The Orthodox Easter was on the 15th of April.
 We went out of town for four days.
Pelion is our favorite destination.
Mountains and  beautiful beaches 
I want to share with you some pictures from Pelion.
Two days before Easter the weather was cloudy and windy.
 The tradition says that every Good Friday God cries for Jesus and that's why the weather is raining.
But the Easter day the weather was great. We had our Easter lunch outside and we enjoy the sun.


St Kyriaki. A small fish village at Pelion. 



St Kyriaki. Fish tavern. They let the octopus dry outside
 and then they cook them on fire. All the week before Easter we don't eat any meat
 or dairy products. Vegetables, pasta, fresh salads, sea food. 


As we leaving St Kyriaki.


The view from our car.


On the way back to Agria. Our hotel was in Agria.


From St Kyriaki to Agria was two hours driving.


The view from our hotel room.

The sunset from our hotel room


 The other side of Pelion. The Mountains.
Cool waters and a lot of trees.




Mylopotamos beach. We try to visit Mylopotamo every time we visit Pilion. Winter or summer. If the weather let us, because during the winter there is too much snow.






Milies , Famous village of Pelion

Happy Days

Two weeks ago we visited Afissos at Pelion for the week end!
The weather was great and we had a great time!
We got some vitamin D (from the sun) and play with the sand!  
 I can wait for the summer to come! Long days weekends :-) on the beach!
 Happy times!

Easter candles

In Greece it's a tradition godmothers and godfathers to buy to their godchildren Easter candles (lampades), which they light them at the church the Orthodox  holy Saturday! It's not just a simple candle. This candles are decorated with ribbons, flowers, dolls, etc. Do you know about this tradition?

  This Easter candles are made by Georgia at lucky-button

Happy Easter to those who celebrate the Easter today

Summer Heaven

 Soon  the summer will come to an end!
 I thought it would be nice to share with you two of my favorite beaches.
 It is Milopotamos and Agioi Saranta both located in Pelion (Greece)!
It is a wonderful meeting of the blue of the Agean Sea  with the green of the trees! 


At Milopotamos Beach After five o clock in the afternoon
the sun is been hidden by the rocks,




 also the beach is divided into separeate ones,
 with an opening on the rock!




        ***




Agioi Saranta a heavenly scenery !









Every time I look at pictures from Milopotamo or Agioi Saranta it
 reminds me of why summer is my favourite season!
