When I started traveling, I didn't know that the world would captivate me so much. The history of past civilizations, the thousands of cultures of so many millions of people, the immensity of the oceans... Traveling is the best university of life, the continuous and exciting learning. The great beauty of this blue planet! And I never get tired of it, it continues to be my balm for the spirit that I always carry in my little first aid kit.

When to visit ?
Spring in Greece is a charming period when the country awakens from its winter slumber with a burst of colors and fragrances. The temperatures are mild and pleasant, perfect for exploring the Roman Agora in Athens, feeling the breeze of the crystal-clear waters of Corfu or Crete, and eating moussaka while watching the Mediterranean sunset. It's a time when the fields are filled with wildflowers.
