In the trip’s From Tagus River to Costa del Sol photo series, I will share pictures taken on the shore of the Tagus River (Lisbon, Portugal) and Costa del Sol (Estepona, Malaga, Spain). …

Well, I think it’s time for a closure… The last photo post about this year’s Euro Trip is here! What’s the first thing about Athens that comes on my mind? – TEMPERATURE! It was 109F (43C)! Sorry, I can’t say I enjoyed the street photography in Athens. But, no worries, I got a few cool shots to share [wink]. Most …

Happy Birthday, Dad! Oia or Ia is considered the oldest settlement on the Santorini island. A small town, previously known as Apano Meria (“upper side”), typifies the white-painted houses of the Cyclades, in many cases built directly into niches which are cave houses used by crew of the ships, on the lip of the volcanic crater, between which are narrow …

The breathtaking cliffs, clearwater beaches made up of black, red and white lava pebbles, and whitewashed cubiform houses towered by rounded windmills and blue-domed churches of its two principal towns, Fira and …

This year, my plan for the EuroTrip to Santorini, Greece was to settle down in an all-inclusive resort close to the sea and spend most of the time meditating on a beach. Santo Miramare Luxury Resort …

Fira is the modern Capital of Santorini that derives its name from an alternative pronunciation of “Thíra”, the ancient name of the island itself. Fira is built on the edge of the 400 meters (1,312 feet) high caldera. Access …

No, this post has nothing in common with the famous erotic odyssey of a good-looking German girl [wink and smile]. However, that’s what I had said when decided to go for my next EuroTrip to Greece. For many years, I’ve been postponing my travel to Hellenic Republic by prioritizing other countries and places around the World higher than Land of …

I have a confession to make… I have lost all photos from my EuroTrip 2016. One of my longest trips to Europe since 2000 ended up without any photography coverage. I can’t explain how frustrating this is… While in Europe, I had shared a few mobile pictures on my social media networks. If I only knew those shared photos will …
