....so my dears, finally made it to steal some mostly needed time to myself, relax, swim and enjoy the precious company of my companion, who happened to join me for a couple of days in Greece.
It is the nicest present I could have ever received and it coloured this stay of mine in Greece,
with lots of positivism and happy feelings.
Just right on time when I was tremendously missing my German home, its most important part came to me....and I'll be flying back in just a couple of days : )
Other than relaxing at the summer house beloved and super kind friends of ours gave to us,
we also made a short visit down-town in Athens....
and below are fragments of this walk....
unlike me it is to be posting pictures of myself one after the other,
but have really enjoyed being photographed by this special person behind the lens
and actually like how they turned out
so here we go!
~ taxi! ...you may go...we don't need you....we'll walk instead...
~ on a roof top with Acropolis in the background...
~ should we be staying here, we'd put his little vintage, minty green Vespa Baby together and ride it along the beaches all the way to Sounio....
~ Avyssinia's square....a usual Sunday flea market adventure, quite calm and empty visited on a weekday's afternoon though...
~ vibrant colours on {almost} demolished walls...
~ one of the many adorable stray dogs of Athens...
~ spotted a French book, only to remember that I'm still learning German and need to be focusing on that...
~ in love....obviously...with photography ; )
...whatever you do...be sure to have somebody & something to love ; )

Hello Iro,
ReplyDeleteI love to follow you on Flickr and your blog, but I have never commented.
Beautiful photos from you, Athens and Acropolis.
Some years ago, I was in your country and some islands on holidays, and it was really super.
Beautiful country, indeed.
Compliments from Lisbon/Portugal.
