Remando, observando y compartiendo momentos para ese libro de la vida que todos vamos escribiendo.
Un invierno más, pero este lo pasaremos en Galaxidi, un lugar tan agradable como encantador, recogido en un canal de una bahía tranquila, con las montañas al fondo y la naturaleza a nuestro alrededor. Mientras remamos en esta canoa, que a veces se nos despista hacia babor o estribor, estamos seguros de que con el paso de los días sabremos llevarla mejor. Rodeados de playas, calas y gente amable que nos ayudan a completar este destino que hemos elegido para pasar, parece, un buen invierno.

Travelling in good weather is pure delight —it’s magical, almost hypnotic, to feel embraced by a calm sea that carries you gently wherever you wish to go. We left Aegina slightly disappointed by the lack of warmth from its people and the hostility of a harbour that has died of success. Still, we carry with us the memory of Moni, that little island inhabited by deer and peacocks, surrounded by a splendid blue sea and an evergreen forest of pines, holm oaks, oaks and shrubs —a curious place that leaves no one indifferent. We slipped quietly past the picturesque village of Perdika, where we enjoyed a frappé and an enviable view —one that belongs to those lucky enough to live there all year round. But our journey continued, leading us to Poros, where calm has finally returned after a summer overrun by tourism that blinds the eye to the true essence of the place —an essence revealed only when the crowds are gone and peace returns. After spending a few days wrapped in that calm, we left Poros in haste to cross once again the Corinth Canal —short, yes, but no less magical— the narrow passage that would lead us back to Galaxidhi, another warm and gentle haven once the summer visitors have gone. |

MAMMA MIA, SKOPELOS!
Little by little, the end of summer begins to arrive, and it’s impossible not to quietly say goodbye to the friends with whom you’ve shared and laughed through so many warm, golden days. Skopelos feels like the prelude to an inevitable farewell —one no one wanted to face, yet nothing and no one can stop it from coming. A few days on the island were the perfect excuse to visit the “Mamma Mia” church, perched high atop a rocky cliff, where everyone climbs like a pilgrim to take in the breathtaking view —and a photo at a chapel that lost its true name to the fame of a movie. For a few days we indulged in ice cream, gyros, and slow strolls through the sunlit streets of this small, picturesque town —a maze of narrow cobbled alleys, draped in bougainvillea that adorn every doorway, every window, like a living postcard of Greece itself. Days of strong winds followed —watching an angry sea tossing and turning, roaring as if to warn you not to leave your shelter. But time passes, the sea calms, and without delay we say goodbye to this beautiful place… and soon, to the people we have loved so dearly this summer. |
