BACK HOME WITH SWEET AEGEAN MEMORIES...

The Rhodes I'm going to miss...
 

A sea of flowers...



Dreamy...


Peaceful...



Sweet and at times stormy... (so much like me)

 
Not touristy at all...
 

And sweet kitty friends, of course!!!

STORMY


This time of the year, rainy and stormy days are still possible here in Rhodes... There's something fascinating to it, being so different from the stereotype image of sun and blue skies 300 days a year...

OLD TOWN MAGIC

- Omirou, my favorite alley in the Old Town -

Rhodes' Old Town is unique, and this time of the year its magic can be felt everywhere in the narrow, dreamy alleys and on the peaceful little squares where time seems to stand still... Coming back to my favorite dreamy little corners is always special and filled with many memories!

FLOWERS AND KITTIES


There is a place in Rhodes which is really dear to my heart... It is the old Turkish Cemetery. A place of incredible beauty and peace, which I have always loved and which is even more special because it was my Zoe's first home. It's a peaceful ancient place with old beautiful engraved tombstones under the shade of old magnificent eucaliptus trees. This place is really dear to my heart and it's so peaceful and you don't even feel the pulsating life going on not far from it outside this little garden of eden. A beautiful little mosque from ancient times and a graceful white minaret make it a really dreamy place full of poetry. Many lovely cats have chosen it as their home, and I love just sitting there and cuddling them... and of course bringing them some goodies! My friend Sirpa and other lovely people help the homeless cats living there. I love coming back from year to year, and recognizing my furry friends... My sweet furry friend Jolie lived here too.


Now, in the spring, it is literally strewn with lovely flowers...


Can you spot the kitty among the poppies in the image above? :)
