I miss Greece.

I miss Greece. Being a first generation American, I have strong ties to where my family is from. It's so beautiful there, and there is nothing like relaxing in the morning on a Dodecanese island, watching the Aegean and the distant islands, sipping your coffee. I love it.





Those are the two places I'm from. The first is a small village called Nikia on the island of Nisyros. It's one of the Dodecanese islands, and it's located near Turkey. The second place is Litohoro, which is a small village near the city of Thessaloniki. It's located at the base of Mount Olympus, which you can see in that picture.

I love both these places so much. There is nothing like Greek morning air.

And Greek salad. Real Greek salad. :D


I miss having that view with my own eyes.

Hopefully next year...

Oh, amazing! Just gorgeous!

My dad is from this tiny village in Abruzzo, in these amazing mountains, and we do the same with our coffee - sit on the balcony of the house clinging to rocks and look out on the view.

I just googled Abruzzo and it looks beautiful. :)

Ohhh natural beauty never ceases wherever we are! I really like how the houses are built on hillsides *googles more pictures*

Such a beautiful place! I think I will have to put Greece on my 'places to visit before I die' list.
