Travelers Tales:


[My dear readers,

Probably you haven't noticed but the Instagram account Sunday Travelers Tales is not fully updated with this blog. This happened meanwhile I was transitioning from my personal Instagram account (mariaklavariotiart) where i shared my traveling experiences to the new account which is exclusively about traveling. There are so many lovely photos that I would like to share with you from the 3 destinations not mentioned on Instagram so far. So for the next three weeks I will be posting about Episodes 1, 2 and 3 which refer to the islands of Leipsoi, Skiathos and Kornos (Cyprus). After this I will be returning with a brand new episode. Stay tuned to find out where Sunday Travelers Tales will be traveling next...  

Until we meet again in one of our traveling locations, wishing you my very best!

Cypriot Tales, Episode 11. Kornos, Cyprus

Travelers Tales: [ D ear co-travelers, This week finally, as promised, Sunday Travelers Tales is presenting the beautiful and graphical village of Kornos. Kornos belongs to the district of Larnaca but is located in the center between the three big cities of Larnaca, Nicosia and Limassol. The traditional village of Cyprus lies in the middle of a small torrent and extends a long distance alongside the riverbed. It is surrounded by hills covered with low pine trees. It has a about 2000 permanent residents. Kornos is placed back in the 9th century and it was first built by a group of people coming from the Byzantine village of Koronos, from Limnos.

Greek Tales, Episode 13. Kastoria, Greece

Travelers Tales: [ D ear co-travelers, after our long stay in the Italian capital we will head back in a Greek city located north in the region of West Macedonia. A very beautiful and graphical city, ideal for travelers who care to see Greece from another perspective.  Kastoria is a city of about 35,000 permanent residents and it is situated in the western shore of Lake Orestiada. Kastoria is very famous for its leather jackets and furs.

Gidaki beach Travelers Tales: [ Dear fellow travellers,   Brace yourselves because this week we are traveling together to the land of Odysseus. The land for which the Greek poet Constantine Cavafy got inspired and wrote his famous poem “Ithaka” [1].  Odysseus according to the Greek Mythology was the King of Ithaca, a very clever man; a true hero.

After the catastrophic earthquake of 1953 which ruined entire towns and villages in Ithaca, hundreds of people migrated leaving the island with around 3000 permanent residents. As a result of this catastrophe the island remained sparsely populated and the houses are not allowed t...
