Samos, island worth to visit

Samos island has been a big part of our lives for eight years. This amazing island has such a feeling that it is impossible to even think about going anywhere else for a holiday. 

It is so smooth to land on a holiday mood and jump away from our daily life at the countryside in a friendly place like this cosy island . 

I am grateful about all the people who is following our photo stories in Instagram. Samos pictures are full of senses which are brightening my day and I have heard that also many others have the same opinion as well. There is lots of Samos lovers! Many of them for a longer time than us. So we are starters. I am looking forward my tenth visit to Samos. Happy to have again a reason to celebrate life's treasures with my best companion.

If I dont't fall asleep at night then I walk in my mind on this long beach and make my little private cabin by the sea side. This is my special power picture while it is dark and cold season here in beautiful Finland. 

My new years wish is to drive a tandem bike in Samos with my husband. Do you know is there possible to hire this kind of bikes? 

I haven't seen, yet! 

Happy New Year!

<3 Tuija

It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's time to listen some  Christmas music and yes! 

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

We are making new plans for next summer's holiday in Samos. I am so happy to get lots of energy of my pictures from this lovely island. 

Instagram is my main media to share our Samos impressions for everyone who wants to dive in this blue, white and verdant paradise. It feels almost magic how this place has changed our life. It's not possible to explain why Samos is the best place we have ever been except Koti meidän. And I truly know that there is lots of other people like us. Samos lovers!

Life is a huge entirety which needs different kind of shades. Samos offers us power to survive this long, dark winter time here in North. Positive thoughts carries through storms and rain. 

Best wishes! <3 Tuija

Christmas greetings!

Samos in my mind is a photo blog. Instagram shows you almost every day my Samos impressions which feels good to be published. 

I hope my feelings touch also your heart and you'll join our adventures in this verdant island. Absolute fact is that I get lots of power from the memories.

Last summer we had many wonderful meetings with lovely people. That's one of the reasons why we again and again return to Samos. Next summer will be my tenth visit. 

I wish you a specially good Christmas time!

Hugs, Tuija

Ireon in my mind

Last summer Ireon was our holiday destination for one week in the end of July. My state of mind made it feel much more longer than only one week. 

This was our first staying in Ireon and no doubt it felt perfect. Even a thought about Samos makes me smile. I am happy that we have lots of places to explore again and again and many which we haven't visited yet at all. 

Samos impressions are photogenic and full of feelings. Instagram tells our travel stories. 

Welcome along! Tuija 

It's time to celebrate!

                                                                    Today is the day!

Samos in my mind -blog's

second anniversary

Hooray!

Seven years and five months ago we visited Samos first time. Twelve weeks this lucky girl has been enjoying of this island which is a paradise for us. 

                                          Why Samos again? asks many. 
                                         Why not? is my answer.

If you have found something special in to your life I think it comes every time more and more intimate to you. It's called love and passion. You must take care of your love. My blog is my commitment to our precious holiday place. Pictures are my donation to our future. Our dream will be true by our creativity. Some day our wings are strong enough for something which we don't know yet.  

This autumn holiday offered something special for us.

Our friends have moved after work to Kos. So we decided to have a meeting with them there. We are specially grateful for Dimos Kasapidis that his music and videos leaded us the very first time to Samos. 

Thank you family Kasapidis!

My heart belongs to Samos

These two hearts I photographed some years ago when we were driving by bike from Pythagorion to Ireon. Then we were not anxious to stay in this little village. 

This summer we decided to book an extra holiday in Ireon. The decision was a perfect one. Ireon is a peaceful place to have a relaxing holiday.

Instagram leaded me to these beautiful rings. Both of these is made by talented Maria Karavatou. She is a Creator/Designer at Kerannymi jewellery.  Their workshop is in Manolates which is a photogenic village on the mountains on the north side of Samos island. 

When I use these rings I got a wonderful feeling and power of our happy memories.

Holiday makes me smily and relaxed. My passion is to take pictures everywhere I go and you can imagine how much photos is in my albums. 

My blog is the place where I can share my sun and shine. 

Enjoy it! Hugs, Tuija

Two years ago I was enjoying Samos by myself. Before that many times been there with my husband and daughters. Afterwards just the two of us having fun. Every time I fell in love more and more with this spectacular island. 

The name of my blog tells how Samos includes to my every day life. Samos in my mind is my precious hobby which gives smile on my face. 

Just the same happy feeling was when we were looking at this cute little boy playing with stones on the beach. Hope that my pictures may give you good moments. 

You can follow me in Instagram. Link is under the photo of me.

Efcaristo poli Samos!

Seven years ago we found this island like a pearl in Aegean Sea by this this video. This summer was a special one. 

During our holidays in Samos we met our friends, enjoyed delicious meals, sun and sea. Later I'll post here about our adventures. 

My passion is to capture impressions and feelings in our paradise which makes me sentimental and pleased and happy with my companion.

In Instagram I have shared over 500 pictures and a lot more is coming out this autumn. 

Welcome along! Tuija

Always, sometimes, never

ALWAYS

Samos is a good choice for a holiday.

With this post I participate to a finnish blog challenge. 

*****

I take pictures all the time, everywhere. 

We travel always together.

When we rent a car it will be a white Jimny from now on. 

In the office of Aramis in Pythagorion we have been taken good care of us with my strange wishes. 

Efcaristo poli!

I eat at least one greek salad per day. 

I am happy in Greece. 

I dream about Samos almost every day.

We read books on our holidays and wear sunglasses every day.

Our hobby with my hubby is to be dressed well-matched.

SOMETIMES

The weather can surprise you. Sometimes it can be cloudy. 

Exploring new places is one of the most nicest things on our holidays.  

Mastiqua is a perfect drink to get a refreshind feeling while walking or cycling.

Sometimes it's nice to wake up early and sometimes sleep as long as you want. Lazy days are a part of a perfect holiday.

Break every now and then is a must to sustain the relaxing mood. Looking over the view and just stay in the moment is the best part of life under the sun.

A perfect outfit for day's journeys is a must. In greek heat you don't need tight clothes. Shoes must be as comfy as possible. Use those always before your holidays. My favorites are: OTZ -shoes, flip flops and newest favorites are KEEN -sandals. Sometimes it is important to use swimming shoes although it is possible to go for a swim with KEENs.

If you want a good tip I recommend to buy bikinis in Greece because they make perfect ones. The material and models are very well made.

                                 NEVER


I have never been happier about any victory than two years ago about this: photo contest. I couldn't understand how much this will mean to my personal life. Never say never to your dreams!

My dream is to learn to ride a horse as well as to have a photo exhibition called Tuija's Samos impressions. Never know what is behind the corner. If you know a perfect place to arrange my dream event please contact me. You are welcome to join my adventures in Samos island!
