Samos in my mind

If you explore Samos island you can find sea, sun, mountains, paths, roads, flowers, trees and the delicious smell of great variety of herbs and flowers. 

It depends on you what you choose to feel.

My Samos shows part of my expressions in these pictures.

Samos in my mind

Samos lovers since 2011

A couple of days ago I was looking at our old pictures and these Samos impressions made me specially happy. Since 2011 Samos has been our place to have great holidays. 

Next summer will be my 10th vacation in Samos. We are glad to have lots of good friends there. Peaceful, private accommodations are places we prefer.

My Samos impressions

https://www.instagram.com/samos_in_my_mind/

I feel nostalgic. Year ago I was leaving hotel Arion in Kokkari after a wonderful holiday. My friend Argiro from Visit Samos agency took me to a delicious supper to one of the most personal restaurants. Sorry I don't remember the name just now but I'm sure you know it if you have been in Kokkari. It is colorful and full of handmade things and beautiful furniture. Really decorative! Write a comment and help me, please!

Samos is somehow really familiar to me and at the same time full of unknown corners. Hope to see as many of those as possible in the future. 

Almost every day Samos comes to my mind. Summer, sun and sea makes me feel happy also in the pictures. I can feel the atmosphere through the photos which empowers me. Do you know the feeling through my Samos impressions? Welcome along!

To travel is to take a journey into yourself

My bustrip from Hotel Arion to Pythagorion was a nice experience. It was really cheap and convenient way to travel from Kokkari to Pythagorion. At night I took a taxi which felt nice and safe. He drived properly and we had a nice conversation in English. 

I have new plans with my husband for summer 2017 in Samos!

Plants that climb towards gates and walls make the nature a part of buildings. Lovely!

Three months ago 14.9.2016

Three months ago I was walking on the beach after a gourgeous breakfast at Arion Hotel near Kokkari. It was an exiting adventure to explore the North coast of Samos island as the winner of the Photo Contest. 

It was amazing to have the freedom to do what I want. I had a nice walk up the hill and took beautiful pictures and captured the wonderful view into my mind. 

In the evening at my hotel I enjoyed a perfect vegetarian dinner made specially for me. Stuffed eggplant and different kind of salads tasted delicious. I felt very lucky!


Happy memories, Tuija

Aelio Bistro Cafe

In the village of Kokkari you can find this colourful bistro-cafe. It was nice to enjoy there a tasty traditional dinner with my friend Argiro. I'm sure that this is one of the places where I want to return again and again. 

The decoration is amazing and individual. Lovely!

Best wishes, Tuija
