An Enthusiastic Traveller

This morning, on my way to the office I was thinking on how much money I have spent this year on holidays, and the amount is significant. I could have invested that money in material things, such as a car (my mom would have been very happy), but I choose to invest in experiences. Yeah.. the future might not be so bright, but I will handle it at the proper time. Meanwhile, some words about the last days in Lefkada. In my previous post I was describing some stunning beaches we've explored. I will continue with another one, the most adventurous to get to and wildest by far. Let me present, Milos beach. Do not be fooled by Google Maps directions. To get to that beach you need to go to  Agios Nikitas, park the car and get ready for adventure.  Challange #1: climb the stairs   Challange #2: when you finish with the stairs, you will end up on a mountain trail. Keep going! On your right you will see Agios Nikitas beach. You're not there yet. A...

This is that kind of holiday when you lay down all day on the beach. If you search on TripAdvisor for things to do in Lefkada it will show you only beaches. I will take advantage of this cloudy day and write about the beaches we explored in the past days. All the beaches I'm going to talk about are located on the west coast of the island. To get there you need to cross the mountains. The views are breathtaking but the roads are very poor. Our little car had some rough time. The mountains and the sea meeting in background  First destination: Porto Katsiki. This beach is with white stones and crystal-clear water. I am amazed of the turquoise color of the water and wandering from where comes this color. The explanation I got this far is that the white stones reflect the sunlight. Talking about stones. This beach has plenty of them. I recommend you to take water shoes otherwise you might cut yourself on the sharp rocks. I didn't have one of those when we went to Porto K...

It's been a while since my last holiday. For a week I will enjoy the Greek Island, Lefkada. I arrived here by plane. The nearest airport is Aktion, Preveza. The flight from Bucharest was 1h30. Usually I don't look out the window during the flight but this time I captured some nice landscapes, above Bucharest and Lefkada. Lacul Morii - heart-shaped view above the clouds Not sure what islands are these but they look pretty cool from the sky. The blue of the sea is amazing. Some history facts: the ancient Greeks didn't have a word for the blue color for some time, but they weren't color blind. From the airport we've rented a car to take us to Vasiliki, where we have accommodation. We were a little bit nervous regarding the car rental. We read a lot of terms and conditions before our arrival: the driver needs to own a credit card in order to pay, the deposits are quite huge. None of those were taken in account. We were able to pay with my credit card (I do n...
