#2016 in my mind

                                                Samos in my mind since 2016 

So many colourful memories from Samos. I was happy and lucky to have a week at Arion Hotel near Kokkari village. Most of the time I was walking around with my Canon. 

Flowers were so bright and powerful. Maybe I even told it to them while I was alone. 

When I came home I had lots of memories in my mind and so I started my blog called Samos in my mind. Year 2016 changed my life. That week as a photographer was my dream which came true. Since then I have been sharing my impressions and beauty from lovely Samos here and Instagram Instagram. 

Hope you'll enjoy these pictures of flowers! 

Best wishes from snowy Finland,

Samos, here we come again!

 

About four months ago we came home from these lovely impressions. Six months and there again! 

It will be my 16.th time to explore our beloved island on Aegean sea. It's a big part of our trip to live it before while planning everything. Afterwards we'll think back our wonderful experiences. 

Now we are wondering when it's the best time to land. 

I know the best is everytime!

See you! Tuija, called @samos_in_my_mind

Sunset in my mind

                                          What are the ingredients of a good holiday?

Samos is a perfect Aegean island for us to have a holiday. When we pack our luggages there will be a pair of comfy shoes, cosy cotton or linen clothes, swimming suits and book or two for both of us because reading is the most wonderful habit on a holiday. Walking, biking and swimming are things which are easy ways to enjoy relaxing time together. 

Samos has plenty of beautiful accommodations. We have been lucky to find many different places to stay. Last summer in the beginning of June we stayed a week at Sunrise Hotel in Ireon. That was an unexpected journey but really worth it. It was so easy to get the holiday mood in a familiar village. Ireon felt again like home to us. 

Our planned trip came true on July. Something special was to rent a car from John's Rentals and get it to the airport. Our holiday started right away with a feel of freedom. We have visited Samos so many times that it's easy to begin living in a cosy studio. First a visit to a Pharmacy in Ireon to buy Algoflogen lotion and Vichy sunscreen. Then we settled down and went for a first swim. 

Once we have had a possibility to enjoy Samos also in October. It was also a marvellous trip. In my earlier post Samos in October  you can read our Autumn impressions. from 2019.  Sunrise Hotel is my theme in this post before they had started renovations. Take a look! 

So what are the reasons why we love about this island so much. Maybe it's our talent to see beauty everywhere and feel the atmosphere in our soul. Samos has many different kinds on areas. I am sure that we'll find still lots of districts to explore.
