Sunday Travelers Tales, Episode 14. Paris Fashion week 2017

[My dear readers,
I am very excited about today’s Sunday Travelers Tales episode. Firstly because I am actually writing to you during a flight. The bloggers joy. To actually write for my blog while traveling. And secondly because I am writing about one of my favorite destinations. For those of you who read me you must have already suspected that besides my beautiful home-island Cyprus and home-land Greece, one of my fav locations is France. So yes that’s right for the next two weeks we are not only going to Paris but I will give you my inside to my experience from Paris Fashion week 2017-18. 

You might be wondering how and why would I attend an event like that. Well I must admit that I really love the world of fashion. So when a friend of my mother was going to show and sell her designs at the Paris fashion week I joined her.

I must tell you that every time I visit Paris I am very excited. I can never get enough! There is something in the French capital, a certain magic that no other city has. It’s in the air! The beauty of the building’s architecture, the colors, the Eiffel tower, the Seine and it’s bridges taking your eyes on a trip along the city of love and lights! It really seals a lock into your heart for eternal love with it’s warmth and beauty. 

But you know me, and if you haven’t already you will get the chance to find out about my philosophy of life and travel. Sure I love fashion. I see of it as a kind of art. An everyday art. What you wear has a little story to tell about you. About who you are. A sign of your personality. This is how I see it. And although I love designers I don’t really believe that one must spend so much in order to dress in style. It’s all about the attitude, creativity and knowledge of mix and matching. And off course how you introduce fashion trends into your own personal style. Having said all this I hope that you don’t expect of me to post only about designers and models and high fashion. I will do some of this but mostly I will give you my inside into fashion week and my own personal perspective of this wonderful experience. So be prepared to dive in the backstage of a glamorous event filled with colors, fabrics and lots of champagne!

Please share your comments with me if you have any and also your feelings about making an intro story about me. Maybe a Q&A? What do you think?

Hope you enjoy this weeks' destination and have a lovely week everybody!! Until we meet again in one of our travelling 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.

This is the reason why in the village one may find houses build in the Aegean style. In the old village many houses and mansions have been restored but kept their traditional folk architecture. In the center of...

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. The dominant theory about the origin of the city's name is that it comes from the Greek word "kastoras" (κάστορας in Greek), which means beaver. Trade in the animal's fur has traditionally played an important part of the town's economy and it started back in the 14th century.

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.

Ithaca belongs to the Eptanisa complex and is located in the Ionian Sea. It is the second smallest of the seven main Ionian Islands after Paxoi. 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...
