Summer's promise

It's time to say goodbye for the next five weeks. I'm going to seek inspiration under the hot sun and into the million shades of blue of my wonderful country's sea and sky...
I'll miss you, but I promise to come back again, after the dream is over!

"Τούτη εδώ η θάλασσα είναι μια χαδιάρα ερωμένη, 
που με μάτια που λάμπουν όλο υποσχέσεις,
έρχεται να ξαπλωθεί νωχελικά πάνω στην παραλία,
γνέφοντάς μου να την πλησιάσω, 
να παραδώσω το κορμί μου στα χάδια της,
να τη χαρώ, να γευτώ την αρμύρα της..."

Simply perfect

A small house by the sea, grandmother's furniture, an open-air shower, an outdoor kitchen and the cicadas song on a hot summer day: happiness is simple!

Robinson's Shelter

Sculptured on Thirassia's volcanic stone by Costis Psychas, owner of Perivolas hotel in Oia, this unique place for modern castaways stands alone, in a universe of rocks and salty waves.

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes,
but in having new eyes"

Candlelight dinner

I need to treasure some romantic memories from last month's garden dinners, now that the weather in Luxembourg is back to normal: heavy clouds and rain...

Sun quote


Interior patterns

"With this collection I wanted to put the room on the woman, rather than the woman in the room" said
Mary Katrantzou who had the most amazing inspiration, putting interiors' images which she picked from old issues of Architectural Digest and World of Interiors on fabrics, for her Spring 2011 collection!

Meeting with the Sea


"Εκπορεύονταν απ' το στήθος μου έρωτες
για όλα όσα έβλεπα κι όσα η ψυχή μου συλλάβαινε
πίσω από τα πράγματα που έβλεπα.
Και σου χάιδευα το νερό και σου μιλούσε η ψυχή μου
πολύ τρυφερά κι αισθανόμουνα λύπη.
Ο ουρανός σε αγκάλιαζε
ενώ εγώ δεν μπορούσα."

"Συνάντηση με τη θάλασσα"
Νικηφόρος Βρεττάκος

Stream of emotions

"Notre devoir est de sauver nos rêves, même s'ils sont fragiles, parce-que c'est peut-etre de la fragilité de nos rêves que nait la saveur de la vie."


Amedeo Modigliani

Kirini or Kirki

An immaculate place between sea and sky, earth and heaven.
Kirini hotel through Drazos lens.








"Παράξενο το βλέπω εδώ το φως του ήλιου
το χρυσό δίχτυ
όπου τα πράγματα σπαρταρούν σαν τα ψάρια
που ένας μεγάλος άγγελος τραβά
μαζί με τα δίχτυα των ψαράδων."


Σεφέρης 1955
