Γέφυρα Πλακίδα, Ζαγόρια - Plakida’s Bridge, Zagoria


Epirus is famous for the stone bridges! Plakida’s Bridge is a three-arch stone bridge at Voidomatis river, near the villages Kipi and Koukouli. It is called Kalogeriko (monastic) because the old wooden bridge was replaced by a stone one, as a donation of the abbot of the monastery of Profitis Ilias in 1748. Later, in 1863 the bridge was renovated by Alexis and Andreas Plakidas, so it was also named after them.


Παναγιά Παραπορτιανή, Μύκονος - Panagia Paraportiani, Mykonos

One of the most unusual churches of the world! It was built of stone under the laws of the Byzantine architecture. The laws that were applied during the organization of the internal space, the place where believers gathered. The Byzantine style is indicated by a number of architectural features: the external decorations are completely absent, the only dome is low, massive, and it almost merges with the church itself. This gives the impression of strength, confidence and reliability. Because of the unusual shape and a traditional Greek whitewash it seems that the temple was made of icing sugar. The sloping, whitewashed conglomeration of four chapels mixes Byzantine and vernacular idioms and has been described as "a confectioner's dream gone mad." Its position on a promontory facing the sea sets off the unique architecture.

Once upon a time, there was a pretty mermaid called AnaMer-FanTasia! She was born in the Olympic Beach under the eyes of the Gods, she has long golden hair and she is living in the water of the Aegean archiPelago, from the Cretan Sea to the Macedonian-Thracian coasts.

 Long ago, an old, wise whale told her that one day she will live on the ground because of  Love...
She could never imagine a power, so strong enough, to make her live out of the water!
Till now, she is looking for Love alone, in every island and coast she can reach.
She likes to swim like all the mermaids, but from the other side she is ready to meet Love and change her life!
The only clue she got: Love will come in the face of the Man!
