Samos Diary: Days 4-5

Sorry for no updates for several days - I'm on holidays after all so, as you can imagine, there is not always time to sit around and blog away. Besides, Easter is coming up and celebrations have already began (and Easter is seriously BIG here in Greece) so there are plenty of things to see and places to be. The last couple of days involved lots of slowly gorging on SAMOS food and alcohol in different tavernas in town, but we've also taken a walk up the mountain path, where a friend of ours likes to walk his lively dog. From the path opened a great view of breathtaking Samos' landscape with its combination of lush greenery, forests, mountains and clear blue sea as well as the view of Vathy bay (where we're currently staying) - Samos' capital and main port.

Samos Diary: Day 3

Despite high expectations, the weather in SAMOS hadn't improved much on Tuesday - on the contrary it became slightly colder. As result we didn't spend much time outside. Instead we drank Frappe (Greek cold coffee made of instant coffee whipped with sugar and mixed with water and ice), visited local football club (co-managed by a friend of ours) and spent several hours hanging out at a cafe where we first lunched and later had evening drinks with friends...

Samos Diary: Day 2

Our Monday in SAMOS started with a traditionally late coffee drinking at our favorite cafe, followed by a short ride to a quiet and deserted spot by the sea, and then - by a very enjoyable meal at a taverna on the Samos seafront. The late lunch featured lots of Ouzo (traditional Greek anise-based alcohol drink, served with ice and cold water) - hence some of the crazier pics you may see below :)

Soundtrack of the day: "Still Here" by Brother

I simply like the fresh, vivid and completely unpretentious sound of this very new UK band, BROTHER. They've released only two singles so far, including "Still Here," but I'm already looking forward to their début album due in July.

SAMOS DIARY: Day 1

After spending 10 hours on a ferry yesterday, me and my man have finally arrived to the island of SAMOS late in the evening and moved into a small, family-run hotel where we stayed the first time I visited the place 2 years ago. Unfortunately the weather is quite rainy but it's still great to be here - breathing the fresh clear air and taking walks along the sea. Hope it gets sunny soon as the currently abandoned open-air clubs on the waterfront will make great locations for taking outfit pictures!
