This is a breathtaking video by Thomas Tsekouras that travels us over the unique beauty of Amvrakikos Wetlands National Park, near Preveza town, in Northwestern Greece. It’s really worth the 3 minutes to watch it and clear your mind of your busy and stressful day 🙂
Porto Katsiki June 2016 Photo by Tripadvisor
If you wonder how Porto Katsiki and Egremni beaches in Lefkada (Lefkas) look like this summer (2016) after the earthquake and whether they are accessible then read on. As we haven’t visited the island this summer ourselves, we just had a look on Tripadvisor to see what visitors who visited the island in June 2016 think so.

The submerged town of Pavlopetri is situated in shallow water between the beach of Pouda at Viglafia (near Neapoli) and the islet of Pavlopetri, opposite the island of Elafonisos. The architectural remains of this prehistoric town, visible at a depth of about three meters, were discovered in 1904 by Fokionos Negris. In 1967 the famous oceanographer Dr. Nicholas Flemming of Southampton University visited the site and subsequently published the first survey of the submerged settlement. A year later, a team of archaeologists from Cambridge University undertook the first systematic underwater survey of the ruins. In 2009, an on-going programme of exploration and excavation was begun by the University of Nottingham, the Greek Culture Ministry’s Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities and the Hellenic Centre for Maritime Research.

Last weekend, thanks to our reader Vassilis Karamaounas, we discovered a unique paradise not far from Athens. The Penteli Waterfall (near Drafi) is just 5 minutes walking from the main road where you are going to park your car.
An awesome artistic video with breathtaking views of the nature and the traditional villages. This is Pelion as you haven’t seen it before it. Thank you Christopher!
