We certainly did not believe what we were going to experience when we began our trip to Platanorema Farmhouse in Chalkidiki. Our Guesthouse was between the second and third leg of Chalkidiki, far from the crowds and prying eyes and very near Pyrgadikia village. We found it pretty easily (also...
A recent weekend in the region of Kastoria, reminded me the beauty of nature and relaxation that one gets when in contact with this area!

Wolf, wolf, are you here? This is what we wondered too, and after we met the "stars" of the area, the bears, and were toured to the place they are hosted, we also decided to see the wild wolves, the symbols of power and freedom that haunt legends and fairy tales and are found in Agrapidia, very...
Six antidotes of technology, six trails on forest paths of Nimfaio: We bought the relevant book from the information center of Arktouros, which operates within the Nikeion School after the recommendation of Constantine from “Nymphes". Because of the time and the snow, we decided to take the first,...
