- One is about chess, that we all like, play and enjoy: Chess.com . A serious project, quite well maintained and the right example of showing how a website could be so useful for one subject. I really liked it, I really do.
- Music is definitely commercial. But commercial should also mean quality. And an example of a decent, cute music online store we have: Music Store. I recommend it, I like it.

Some Hints for buying a property in Greece
I had a long conversation recently with a friend and asked me to summarize as much as possible the main points that a potential buyer should consider for buying a house in Greece. After all he
convinced me and tonight I will try to publish my thoughts. Lets go on then:
I value as very important how the potential buyer tries to complete his decision for buying a house in Greece. Needless to say that any buyer should get an advice from an experienced and reliable agent. A good agent should have already a good portfolio of properties for showing to the customer. Also to be well motivated for searching and looking for houses matching the
requests of the customers.
Now when a buyer and agent have decided for some houses, it is important to schedule viewings of the related properties. The viewing or the art of viewing it is so important for choosing the
right house. I will say, without underestimating the factor price on property transactions, that the viewing is equivalent important. By the viewing you could check the quality of the
construction, the quality of the furniture and etc. One viewing might not be enough! So do not hesitate to visit your potential house couple of times.
Of course much of time should be spent for checking any legal issues regarding the properties and lands. But this also could be one of the obligations of your agent.
So after all, I will value the factors of price, of viewing and quality of the construction as very important for choosing a house in Greece.
If you have any queries regarding finding or searching for a house in Greece, check this link out: Properties in Greece
I am sure that their team is motivated and good enough for providing you good services.
Till the next time, take care please.

Clint Eastwood
I would like to devote this post to Clint Eastwood's movies. My first experience about his movies was the "Letters from Iwo Jima" and actually that happened accidentally. I had a business trip and BA for long distance flights usually plays movies on their monitors. That movie really triggered my mind. I was watching stories that I had listen and well understood by my grandfathers, but this time played from different people, say Americans or Japannese-does not really matter.
That was, I realized that Eastwood is a great director, besides his wonderfull acting skills. He took a story and he knew that his work could attrcact both domestic and internationall appeal. Okay, I stop here because if I start talk about this movie I never end.
Recently, I watched Gran Torino. Another master of piece. I enjoyed Gran Torino among other things for its realistic elements. Eastwood in this movie is not getting afraid of mixing many things, like how it is to be a kid in USA, how Church, does not matter of which religion, effects the real life, how Asian immigrants live and think in America and many more.
I like his movies because apart of the story, that of course always has something artificial for being interesting, is based on so many realistic elements. And this is something that you do not meet in modern directors nowdays. Modern directors it seems that do art for their art. It seems that some of them are not carefully touch and study the reallity.
Anyway, if you have not done it yet, please get the DVD and watch both movies. I am sure that you will have something to say about. If you like to have a look check these links out:

Gran Torino Song (Excellent!)
Gran Torino Trailer
I will come back with more suggestions and finally with some posts about houses in Greece. Till then you might wish to check this link out: Properties in Greece.

Active Member
I am sure that you might think that in Greece the music industry is bit boring since Greek music seems to be more or less predictable. Well, that is almost true...but there are sometimes when sounds like the sound of Active Member make some difference.
The following song is by Active Member, a song entitled Strange Days-Awesome Days and even if you are not getting what they say, I think their music is rather simple and attractive. They rap only with one guitar, thus is worth listening.
Next week, we will post several houses for sale in Greece.

Stereo Nova
Tonight is time to say something about a great Greek band that definitely was underestimated when was active. Their name was: Stereo Nova and I am linking their wiki page. Instead of saying much, I would prefer to post one of their songs by 1992.
The song is titled: New Life 705 where 705 was a bus line in Athens. Their music sounds so fresh and great even for today! Simply because they knew to write music.
We will post again, and if you are looking for a house in Greece check this page out: Properties in Greece

Remix Again
Well, I need to be consistent and to keep posting some music!
This time a remix of that song: Your own Personal Jesus.
Well what we could say about that song and Deepech Mode? A possible answer is that a giant tried to re-visit their song:
Johnny's Cash version might not have the interesting guitars of Deepech Mode, but in one sense it brings a spiritual feeling to the song.
Enjoy listening :)

Henry Rollins
We or me again :)
Fortunately his blog is constantly updated and you could have a look: Rollins.
This morning I would like to host some lines about Henry Rollins. You might remember his figure by his MTV performances, but Rollins is something more than MTV presenter. His radio show in states still rocks and we are always look forward for his unique play lists. A bbc show from early 90s might give you more idea about his work:
Fortunately his blog is constantly updated and you could have a look: Rollins.
I really want to avoid to classify him, because he is good in whatever he does. He is a musician expert in what we say rock music and suprisingly enough for an American awares the European music. He does stand up comedy, and he is goooooooood!
Well, we will dedicate more lines about Mr. Rollins and we hope that he is considering us one of his Fanatics!
Oh, yes, once again, if you are looking for a house in Greece or for a Property in Greece, please visit that website: Properties in Santorini.
By the way his play lists should be considered as test against youtube.com for missing material.
Ciao.

BBC
Tonight I would like to congratulate BBC for its website for the following reasons:
1. They provide a low graphics option for many of their pages! Yes, even if we live in hi-tech ages, for so popular websites, it is important to provide LOW GRAPHICS options.
2. They have upgraded their main page in Ajax, but they keept the whole website as it was: Simple!
3. BBC's logos even in their web version, are state of art! Nothing too much, nothing less, just perfect!
BBC's website reflects what BBC is for us: Professional and a long standing Expertise.
If you are looking of course for a Property in Greece, please visit the following website: Properties in Greece

Not Yet
Dear All,
We are almost back in the usual work life after our short but valuable break. This year we visited Andros, after two years.
By visiting the same island again, you have the chance to review the local life and its services with more information than your last visit.
We sum up, this year's visit in Andros as follows:
Regarding the real estate, there were not that many houses in stock and I saw many interesting projects. I realized that Andros is a difficult place to buy and build, but definitely a worth move to do.
At the moment, things are still difficult for the real estate industry in Greece, but it seems that there is some progress, especially with houses and lands of reasonable price like 60.000-180.000 euros.
I am wishing you a good start for your autumn and if you are looking a house to Greece, check our constant reference: Properties in Greece.

We sum up, this year's visit in Andros as follows:
- I found Andros bit expensive. The renting prices were 10% more than the expected. Prices of 80 euros per night at the main town of Andros over August is definitely expensive. The local community should re-consider if their prices match their services as well.
- The quality of the restaurants was good, not that much good as 2 years ago. The prices at the most of places was fair. I witnessed though that some restaurants were not displaying in public their prices and if you were unlucky enough to stay there, then to pay something overprices. An example some of the restaurants at the main town of Andros. But over all the quality and price here was fair.
- I would like to congratulate once again, the Ermis Patisserie for their quality and service. Almost all their products like galaktoboureko, pastitsa and etc were clean and tasty!

Google Morning.
Google is an intelligent search engine machine where most of you use for finding even this blog! Most of the times I am sure you type full words for search items; did you ever tried a single letter, instead?
In this post I will post Google's alphabet-apparently Google has fixed these searches:
A- As you might well expected, wikipedia's article about the letter A: wikipedia-A . Interesting to point that for the letter A, the famouse Physics Journal comes as the second listing: Physical Review A
Link: Google A
B- Interesting. The same pattern here. First link is wikipedia's article about letter B: wikipedia-B whereas the second link is about the Physical Review again, but this time its B version: Physical Review B.
Link: Google B
C- Well, you guessed right. Speed of light as the first link. You need to type small c instead of Capital for obtaining the speed of light. The pattern remains the same, next link should be about wikipedia's article for letter C.
Link: Google C
D- D programming language?.....first link: D
Link: Google D
E- The pattern here is destroyed here :) First link a link about celebrities....: Celebrities
Link: Google E
F- I am sure you though something else for a first link! Well, first link is about Ford's Motor Company. Ford dominates also the letter F: Ford in Stock Market
Link: Google F
G- Spot on! Letter G is for google right? gmail the first link. Actually the should have all the first page with google's products...
Link: Google G
Well, I will not continue with all of them, since the game is straightforward. Just try the single letters of the alphabet and see what the machine brings. I continue with the letters that I found more funny or interesting:
Small h, brings max plank's constant: h
I is dominated by apple because of the itunes most likely: i
Small k, science again,Boltzmann's constant:k
L, no suprise, latex is first: l
M, suprise! for a first time a movie is first for a single letter: Movie m , Letter M
W, suprise! one more movie for a letter: Letter W
Lets hope that google will match properties and greece with this: Properties in Greece
or Properties in Mykonos
I will post soon with more google tricks and its interesting phenomena! Stay tuned.

David Bowie
I can not think my summers without listening Bowie's tunes. Undoubtedly one of the most important figures of the music industry. An artist that understood that being a musician does not only mean record sales, but also ART. A word completely missing from the vocabulary of modern artists and musicians. He had and he has an opinion for his work and I really appreciate him. Since we talk about remixes, this is a song by him:
and this is the remix. May I ask you to guess who are they?:)
Anyway, please try to enjoy your time even if you work and listen a lot of music. It helps! And of course do not forget to visit Greece or to look for a house there: Properties in Mykonos, House for sale in Zakynthos, House for sale in Santorini and Properties in Syros.
Take care, next post very soon.

Greek Food!
Because you might be already in Greece and being curious for trying new tastes, here we are, from now on we start posting recipes and videos about Greek Food.
Undoubtedly pastisio is an excellent summer food! It is actually very similar with Italian Lasagna, but for sure different. You can read a very interesting lemma from Wikipedia: Pastitsio
I will say, that many people cook Pastitsio with a seperate layer of potatoes at the bottom. I prefer it with out potatoes, but is still worth trying!
Now before giving you the link of how Pastitsio is made, here is its photo:
And please watch out this link: Pastitsio Video where a Greek Lady cooks for you this tasty meal. Sorry I could not find any English speaking video about Pastistio.
Pastitsio is definitely one of the Greek foods that you could try at your own house in Greece either in Mykonos, or in Santorini or in Ionian Islands like Lefkada and Ithaca, where they have a long tradition about Greek and Italian food mixes.
next post about Gemista! Sorry Guys, I have started being hungry already :)

Well I found always interesting ABBA's performances, but this one with the japanese kimonos far funny:
ABBA is an example of an extremely interesting band, with fair good music and an unbeaten sold records. But apart of their music, ABBA were a unique example of professionalism for the international music scene.
And since we were saying about remixes, this is a new remix of their song:
The comments are yours! The sound quality of the video, is not that great.

Music Remakes
In our last post we were discussing about remakes of old songs; songs difficult to interpret for new audiences.
An excellent, well made and well studied remake of Kemal, a song by Manos Hadjidakis from album Reflections, is the following tune by Raining Pleasure:
Many Congratulations to these young guys, attempting a difficult music piece. With no doubts, a magnificent work! The vocals are pretty good and unique. The music is quite technical as always Manos Hajidakis might wanted.
For your comparison, please have look at the original version of the song here: Kemal by Manos Hadjidakis. . Sorry they have disabled any outside embeding.
Raining Pleasure is a promising, young band from Greece. Some nice tunes that you might be interested in, are: Fake, Dancing Queen (a remake of Abba's song) and Capricorn. The last one is very strong pop, english influenced song. You will find that songs either in youtube or in their website.
I hope that you enjoy summer and you find blog's music posts interesting.
In the meantime if you are looking for a house in Greece, please visit the website: Properties in Greece. But Greece is not only Summer, is also Culture :)
I will post soon with more music lines.

Music Again
The last days there is a great debate in Greece regarding the following remake
of the famous song of Mr. Mikis Thodorakis and Mr. Giannis Ritsos Otan Simanoun Oi Kampanes. The band is named Blue, and is quite popular among young people in Greece. The new version has been made with Mikis Thodorakis permission. The original version is available here:
where a very interesting performance of the same song can be found here:
Please note how the audience dances and signs; magnificent.
The debate now is focused on whether such important and prestigious songs need any such remakes. My opinion is that music always seek new contributions and new interpratations of old meanings and works. Therefore the remake in advance, as an action, is not against of any rule of music. Of course this does not mean that we should force our selves to love any remake because is using modern electronic tunes and sounds.
To be honest, I did not dislike the remake, but I do believe that the tune fails somehow to reflect song's history and lyrics. The music is modern, but is open to question if matches with the song and many times sounds very predictable. But anyway, because I strongly hate misery, I am open for new sounds and experiments. Therefore, I am not declining it already.
I hope that there are more remakes to come.
I am interested to hear your comments and very soon I will present you more remakes of famous Greek sounds.

The summer is here
There is no doubt! The summer is here, and we enjoy its first weeks. Because many times pictures describe things better than any narration, I will post some photos from Santorini:
Some things to note. Please have a careful look at Santorini's land. Its colour due to the ancient volcano of the island is something unique. Another thing to point is the dense building at the main town of Santorini. One small house near to another small house. Prices in the center of Santorini due to its unique sea view are sometimes very expensive. But you could find other places with unique sea views in other places of Santorini. If you are looking for a house in Santorini and you need some advice, please hold off this website: House for sale in Santorini.

Impressions
Dear All,
In this post I would like to express some thoughts regarding last night's opening of the new musuem of Acropolis. I will summarize my thoughts as a collection of points:
I will appreciate your comments.
In this post I would like to express some thoughts regarding last night's opening of the new musuem of Acropolis. I will summarize my thoughts as a collection of points:
- A great night for the cultural life of Athens. The museum was a strong demand of the Greek society for about 30 years. This museum at least for now, hosts our hopes that the Greek society and its authorities will appreciate and realize the importance of studying and promoting the history of the Greek Land. Its was a night of hope, of future expectations and just Great!
- I will say that I was not that much happy how the issue about the conflict between the Greek Goverment and the British Museum was presented. First of all, I do not like by anyway English to be declared as thiefts or barbarians due to Elgin's actions (Elgin Wiki page). Elgin's actions might be considered as illegal or against the long history of Athens and it is bit shame to accuse any British for this. I am sure that the majority of Greeks, respect the English history and recognize Britain's role for our independence (Navarino Battle). I am sure as well, that many Greeks believe that the British Democracy can extensively discuss the return of Parthenon Marbles to Athens by suggesting a mutual solution. I felt that we need these words for limiting the conflict between the British Museum and Acropolis Museum instead of presenting it as a conflict between England and Greece.
- Now back to the solutions. Regarding the marbles, I feel that we need to state the problem as a modern international issue that everybody hopes and aims to solve. And the solution is quite technical. It would be very interesting for instance if Greek and U.K. universities together with the directions of the British and Acropolis museums to investigate a way for merging the seperated parts and exposing them both in Athens and in UK. In technical and scientific terms, this merging is very challenging.
- By concluding this post, I would like to point that now is also the right time for the society of Athens to build Athens around this museum by improving the public services, by improving the quality of transpotation and the urban planning of the city.
I will appreciate your comments.

Music
I am sure that you have realized my sympathy and support to KT Tunstall. In this post please enjoy a nice song that could keep you company over your time in Greece.
Saving My Facing! I will do the right thing!.... A Great Song by a talented artist. I think there is some country influence in her songs. But stop and just start imaging listening this song while you are enjoying your breakfast in one of the nice cafeterias of Ano Xora of Milos or Syros and looking the Aegean Sea. Just fantastic!
And do not forget, regarding houses for sale in Greece, check this out: house in Mykonos
Over the weekend, I will post some recommendations for food in Athens.
Ciao and later!

Great News!
Great News!
The Greek coastline and seas are highly compliant with the the European Standars for the quality of sea water. The related link is available here: Greek Waters and the main web page of the relative branch of EU is here: European Union-Water Bath .
Greece is ranked third, after Cyprus and Lithuania for the quality of sea water. Last positioned of that report are England, Belgium and Poland, where high percentage of their beaches are not good for bathing.
For searching a house in Greece, I will strongly recommend you to get precise information about the area of your interest. It is very important to know the insights of the local community. Due to the growing interest for summer houses in Greece, local communities are very active regarding the protection of the nature of their places. In many places you might meet strong debates regarding building and urban planning regulations. And this is the reason for choosing an agent that could guide you and suggest you possible solutions for your summer resort.
Greece, is a unique country among many reasons but also due to its coastline. You could find many spots for building or buying your summer dreamed resort. But as I said, Greeks over the last three years and mainly after the devastated fires in Peloponnese, are
very sensitive with ecological matters. You might find government or public institutions not that much careful about the environment, the local communities though, are quite active and demanding the last years.
Therefore, please get some advice before you buy a house in Greece. An office that could help you with your search and questions, bringing you also the local insights of each area, is the Greek Properties.
Well, I wanted to share with you the great news and we will post soon!

A beautiful walk in the heart of Athens
Monstiraki is a unique place located in the heart of Athens, near Thission and Psirri. It is one of the most vivid and busy areas in downtown Athens, ideal for walking or shopping day and night.
Monastiraki is famous because of the market. It is a place where you can find anything you want to buy. Here you can find: old coins, stamps and generally antiques for collectors, gramophones, old vinyl, second hand cd’s, gramophone vinyl, fore passed decade magazines newspapers and accessories, artifacts of mid war ages and before, hand organs, second hand pc’s, hardware and mobile telephony supplies. We can even find bikes and their parts, fancily knives, katana swords, hunters survival kits, leather supplies, baggages, smoking supplies, sun glasses, various tools and industrial machinery. Also has many tourist shops. All these shops are not only open normal shop hours, but also at the weekends and especially on Sundays.
Except from the number of shops, Monastiraki has also many cafes and restaurants. They offer a spectacular view and all the ancient monuments you find across the streets they travel you away from the city noise. You have the feeling that the time stops and you only have to enjoy your time by watching the variety of different people that visit this area.
The trade market is fortunate enough to be next to the Ancient Market that has a starting point from Monastiraki square(next to Monastiraki metro station) and reaches up to Apostle Pavlos wayfarer and St.Asomaton square.
Monastiraki area is one of the places that represent tradition and tourist sightseeing at the same time. It’s placed under the shadow of Acropolis at the South West section of the magisterial Sacred Rock and next to the Ancient Market and Attalos loft.
Many tourists are visiting here throughout the entire year. At summertime especially the place is full of people who traveled here from the far reaches of the world to admire our historical monuments and at the same time buy various staff (souvenirs, jewelry, clothes, shoes ,antiques etc) from our rich market of Monastiraki area.
During our walk we may meet various folklore bands, stilts and clowns mainly at Monastiraki square or the wayfarer of Andriannou Street. If tired we can relax and have a meal at one of the traditional coffee shops and restaurant of Andriannou street, St. Philip and Avissynias square with a view of the Acropolis, Hephaestus temple and Attalos loft.
We can reach Monastiraki via railway of ISAP (Monastiraki and Thisseion station) or via the busses who drive through Athens and Ermoy street. Parking spaces can be found in the Psyrri area.

Greek Architecture
In this post I am trying to approach the subject Greek Architecture or Traditional Greek houses by referring to the work of Aris Konstantinidis. Greek Architecture is a very difficult subject for study and techinical as well, due to its long history and its very rapid, modern and irregular development.
We might say that Greek Architecture includes all the buildings built in Greece so far. Therefore examples of Greek Architecture are the famous ancient Greek buildings and constructions. By Greek Architecture we also refer to the modern or new buildings of Athens. If we focus on Athens particularly, typical examples of the Greek Architecture are the houses built by the Greek immigrants from Mikra Asia (Ionia, now is part of Turkey, Turkey's Aegean coast line) known in Greek as "Mikrasiatika" or "Prosfigika" and the new-classic houses of Athens built at the beginning of the 20th century. Prosfigika Houses can be found in many suburbs of Athens like Nea Philadelfia and Nea Ionia, to name some. Some characteristic images of the Prosfigika and how they look today, are:
Back now to the work and theory of Aris Konstandinidis we should say that his work can be considered as the fist examples of modern Architecture in Greece. Is very likely by visiting Greece, especially Crete or Andros, Mykonos, Athens and Halkidiki to see some of his projects. Unfortunately enough, many of his buildings are not in good condition and are abandoned. The main technical reason for that, is that many of his works, are hotels owned from the Greek Public Institution of Tourism (E.O.T); a public enterprize with serious financial problems today. Thus, due to the limited funding, these beautiful hotels, known as Xenia, in nowdays are empty and many of them destroyed. An
example, is the following hotel in Halkidiki:
Some more photos can be found here: Xenia Hotels
His architect has some clear features. In his buildings is always clear the main construction elements of the houses. That is, Konstantinidis separates the different layers of the houses: internal and external. Another important element of his work is the size of his houses. Konstantinidis was inspired from the domestic architecture, houses that they look like the Prosfigika. In other words, his houses are houses with gardens and outside constructions for making shadow over the summer, houses with clear structure of their construction and of a relatively small height.
Is almost impossible in this post to discuss Konstantinidis's work in detail. I hope that this post will motivate you to visit some of his projects. A detailed list of his projects with locations can be found here: Konstantinidis Projects
Konstntinidis's Biography, written by his son, Dimitris Konstantinidis also an architect can be read here: Biography .

Are you ready?
Are you ready to visit Greece? Are you surfing the Internet few hours before travelling to Greece?
Well, in this post we try to keep you company before arriving in Greece and in Athens, in particular.
Where to Go?
There are many places to visit in Athens. I am strongly recommending to visit Plaka, the tube Station Acropolis and Acropoli of course. The area around the tube station Acropolis still keeps some characteristics of how Athes was before the second world war. Another tube station to visit and the area around it is Monastiraki. By Monastiraki you could walk the main shop street of Athens, Ermou street. Thus, Ermou is a good choice for a walk and shopping over the day. Over the night you could again choose Monastiraki since many restaurants with good food surrounding Monastiraki's square. Another good choice is Plaka and its square where again many restaurants are available for locals and tourists.
Where you should not go?
Unfortunately there are couple of times that I see tourists around Omonoia square and especially at the streets Peiraios and Athina and them to look completely surprised and lost. They are surprised because just few meters from their luxurious hotels or near to the
down town, hundreds of poor immigrants, many people under drug influence occupy most of the streets. The area is not clean and over the night is not safe for tourists. This does not mean that
Athens is not safe, but please keep in mind to avoid over the night that neighborhoods. For giving you a better understanding how these streets are, just recall some images from East London or Newmarket in Amsterdam after midnight.
We stay for couple of days, where else shall we go?
If you are lucky enough to have couple of days to stay in Athens then there are many of places for you to explore.
An interesting street is Patision. Patision is quite long and hosts many shops, theaters and cinemas. Patision is fully served by public buses that you could easily use. Exarxia square, near to Panepistimiou and Patision, is for those seeking to see and to feel the underground life of Athens. Couple of clubs there for drinks. If you have time, seek to visit Rosalia restaurant, near
to Exarxeia square. Good food and reasonable prices. If you are looking for music stores then Panepistimiou near to Patision has couple of them. Metropolis is one of them.
Solonos, near to Akadimias, is full with bookstores and small shops for your coffee.
Gazi, near to Omonoia, is the main spot for evening enternaiment.
Many music pubs are available playing foreign music.
Food
I am strongly advising you to visit Plaka's restaurants. If you are looking for a fast food, Goodys chain is very popular in Greece with good varieties; their club sandwich is quite good.
Souvlaki! I am sure that you want to give a try. Arahova is a good souvlaki shop, near to Kanigos Square, towards Akadimias street. But please ask some guys from your hotel to advice you for a good, local, souvlaki shop. You will feel for a while Greek :)
Transportation
Public transportation is not bad at all. You could buy bus tickets from metro-tube stations and from local shops. "periptera", those yellow street shops, most of the times sell tickets. Please note that tickets should be validated when you entry the bus by using some clear indicated machine boxes. The duration for a single trip is one hour and half. Athens's metro is quite modern and convenient. You could visit the main spots by using only the tube.
Anyway, I am wishing you a nice trip and to enjoy your stay in Greece.
And if you are looking for a house in Greece, please visit this website: House for sale in Greece
We will post again soon, stay tuned.

If you have time, seek to visit Rosalia restaurant, near
to Exarxeia square. Good food and reasonable prices. If you are looking for music stores then Panepistimiou near to Patision has couple of them. Metropolis is one of them.
Solonos, near to Akadimias, is full with bookstores and small shops for your coffee.
Gazi, near to Omonoia, is the main spot for evening enternaiment.
Many music pubs are available playing foreign music.
Food
I am strongly advising you to visit Plaka's restaurants. If you are looking for a fast food, Goodys chain is very popular in Greece with good varieties; their club sandwich is quite good.
Souvlaki! I am sure that you want to give a try. Arahova is a good souvlaki shop, near to Kanigos Square, towards Akadimias street. But please ask some guys from your hotel to advice you for a good, local, souvlaki shop. You will feel for a while Greek :)
Transportation
Public transportation is not bad at all. You could buy bus tickets from metro-tube stations and from local shops. "periptera", those yellow street shops, most of the times sell tickets. Please note that tickets should be validated when you entry the bus by using some clear indicated machine boxes. The duration for a single trip is one hour and half. Athens's metro is quite modern and convenient. You could visit the main spots by using only the tube.
Anyway, I am wishing you a nice trip and to enjoy your stay in Greece.
And if you are looking for a house in Greece, please visit this website: House for sale in Greece
We will post again soon, stay tuned.

Relaxing....
Dear All,
Because life is not only work, business, money and worries, I decided to share with you a song that I really like:
Lily Allen, a relatively new song from her brand new album. Nice, Nice, Nice! I like the fact that the music is smooth electronic and the rythm is so playful. The video is also clever, so colourful. Lyrics are far strong and as always Lily does not afraid to say some truths. Some clever points that I caught from the lyrics are:
I hope that this song will keep you a company while you are staying in Greece or you are looking for your house in Greece. If you seek for a prompt advice here are some houses for you to look at:
Thats all for now, keep tuned!

- And i’ll take my clothes off and it will be shameless;Cuz everyone knows that’s how you get famous
- fu...ing fantastic.
I hope that this song will keep you a company while you are staying in Greece or you are looking for your house in Greece. If you seek for a prompt advice here are some houses for you to look at:

Greek News Papers
Hi There!
In one of our last posts we talk about Greek Media. In this post I am presenting you some information about the Greek News papers. Suprisingly enough there is a big number of news papers published in Greece.
Of course you might be interested in English papers published by Greek publishing organizations. We list of some of the major news papers and a long list is available here.
Apart of many news paper titles in Greece, sports news papers are amazingly popular. The majority of the Sports papers are affiliated with a football team. Olympiakos, AEK and Panathinaikos for instance have their own papers like: Protathlitis (Champion, http://www.championsday.gr/), Dikefalos, Derby and Prasini, respectively.
There are also some very popular and well maintained sports portal like: www.contra.gr
Very popular are also the betting papers, specializing in the betting football predictions. There are plenty here: www.12x.gr (one of the oldest) and KingBet (http://www.kingbet.gr/).
I hope that you found the post interesting and you might choose some news papers while you are enjoying your holidays in a house in Syros or in a villa in Santorini or in a house in Mykonos.
If you are looking for Properties in Greece or a house for sale in Mykonos, a house for sale in Lefkada or a house for sale in Skiathos, please take a look at the Greek Properties.
Ciao for now!

Of course you might be interested in English papers published by Greek publishing organizations. We list of some of the major news papers and a long list is available here.
- Kathimerini (Daily in English). Kathimerini has a well maintained English version and its link is this one: Kathimerini. Kathimerini is considered to be affiliated with what is called center-right. Kathimerini is also publishing in Greece, the English version of the The International Herald Tribune.
- Ta Nea (The News, in English). Ta Nea is a paper of high circulation considered to express the center-left. Their page is: Ta Nea and is worth noting that they do not offer an English version. Nea and Vima (The Tribune), are two of high circulation papers published by the same publishing organization Lambrakis Press (www.dol.gr). Vima's online version also lacks an English edition. Lambraki Press is also the owner of the well established portal: www.in.gr.
Apart of many news paper titles in Greece, sports news papers are amazingly popular. The majority of the Sports papers are affiliated with a football team.

Bookstores in Athens
Athens is a real book center!
Greeks according to latest researches might not read much, but the number of book titles published by Greek publishing companies has significantly increased. Of course the majority of the book titles in Greece are in Greek Langauge and many translations of foreign editions are published as well.
As I said, many Greeks do not really love reading, but for those buying books are strongly dedicated to different sort of books.
This post though is not about whether Greeks are reading or not. Is about the numerous book stores at the center of Athens. We could say that some streets of Athens host only book stores.
I will start with the Ikaros publications located at the heart of Athens near to the Old Parliament and near to Ermou Street. Ikaros has published the majority of the books of the two Nobel prizewinners George Seferis and Odysseus Elytis. Ikaros has dedicated friends and if you ever visit Athens, I am strongly advicing you to visit that small but so significant book store. Note that at Ikaros signficant Greek Poets were meeting regurarly for exchanging thoughts and reading poems. Ikaros website is: Ikaros
A second bookstore that I am strongly recommending you to visit, is the bookstore of the Estia Publications. Estia publications and its bookstore is one of the oldest ones in Athens and their library has a significant collection of Greek books by famous Greek Authors like Kazantzaki, Tsirka and many more. Estia book store is located at Solonos near to the Law School of Athens.
For those of you looking for English Titles you might interested in Papasotiriou and Eleutheroudakis bookstores. Eleutheroudakis main bookstore is located towards the Panepistimiou Street and their website is: http://www.books.gr/. Papasotiriou on the other hand offers many technical book titles and their website is: http://www.papasotiriou.gr/. I am recommending you to visit their Patision and Stournari branch and you to have a look at their Greek or Modern Architecture section.
Off course, for those of you looking for a completely different book market you should visit Monastiraki where many second hand old books can be found. If you like visiting free markets, then Monastiraki is a place you should not miss!
Another street with many bookstores is Zoodoxou Pigis. Near to Akadimias.
I am promising you to post again about the Greek Book market. If you want any more information or help please drop me a line as a comment and we will keep in touch.
And if you are looking a for house in Greece, please have a look here: Properties in Greece where recently a magnificent house in Galaxidi has been posted: house for sale in Galaxidi
All the best!

Photos from Greece
Is interesting sometimes to check out what Google returns as related images for some queries. I will start with the one that I most enjoy:
My Google query was: house in Greece, and the beautiful Joanna (I got the name from the source link of the photo) was the fourth image of the returned Google images. Well, I do not know how much related Joanna is with houses in Greece, but the image is bringing back to our memory all that young ladies and boys working at the holiday resorts of Greece. I am sure that as me, you thought that Joanna is relaxing due to the summer holidays. Well this is not true since Joanna is having a break after a long day at her workplace in Mykonos.
The next query was: holiday in Greece. The image came as the second most related one. Yes is true, google images somehow reflects what most probably you will meet in the Greek Beaches. But is interesting that even Google's algorithm relates Greek holidays with beatiful ladies:)
I tried a more general query: Greek, and I obtained that photo. Another evidence that Google's algorithm and its image selection relates Greece with ladies.
Well I hope that you enjoyed this post and that you still plan to visit Greece soon. My next post will be about books and bookstores in Greece. Suprisingly enough Athens especially is a real publishing center. I will post soon!

Events & Festivals!
Every May is taking place “The Homereia” in Ios island. Legend has it that the great poet Homer, (supposed author of The Iliad) is buried on the island.
To honour his memory, every year there are cultural and sporting events including folk dancing, painting, and running races as part of this vibrant cultural festival. Leading figures from the world of culture and the arts come here for the three-day arts extravaganza. Readers of the poet's epics may want to join in and make the most of this island while the early summer allows a quieter experience of Ios before August sees it over-run with drinking holidaymakers.
Every August Cyclades Islands are full of festivals.
In Tinos is the fish festival. The beach at Aliki hosts the annual Fish Festival, with traditional dance and song going on through the night to the early hours. There is plenty of sustenance on offer, including fried fish dishes and wine.
In Santorini is the Jazz Festival. Held in an open-air cinema in the town of Kamari, the Santorini Jazz Festival is an annual series of concerts from local and – increasingly –international jazz musicians. Founded in 1997 by the cinema's owner and an Athenian musician, the festival has since played host to most of Greece's leading jazz bands, along with groups from Poland, France, Austria and the USA. The programming is eclectic, taking in everything from bebop to funk, and the outdoor location makes for three enjoyable evenings of music.

Greek Media
In this post I would like to give you some information about the Greek TV channels. I am sure that for some of you visiting greece soon would be interesting to know what you should expect from the Greek Media.
Well, Greek media and especially TV stations are very popular in Greece. I am sure that at any small shop selling cokes or chips you will see a tv screen being tuned in a TV frequency. Yes!
Greeks are TV-addicted.
There are public and private broadcasts. By public we refer to channels owned by the government while private are TV stations owned by media companies, publishers and other organizations. Note that the are not really controlled by the government but mostly managed. Off course the governments influence to the public channels is strong, but not much as in other countries.
The channels are:
channels are:
I was planning to write many things, but I will keep this post more informative and short. Thus whenever you are visiting Athens, Mykonos, Syros, Santorini, Tinos or any other Greek Island, and you want to use the available screen of your room, please watch one of the channels above.
There are so many things that you could write about the Greek Tv and I am leaving it for later...

Travel tips!
Hello!!
For the next few days I will post information about how to access the Cyclades islands.
Let's start with Santorini. Santorini is one of the most famous Cyclades island.
An important reason is the easy access that has. You can visit it by air or by sea. Everyday there are scheduled ship trips from Piraeus port, especially during the summer period. Many normal ferries and hydrofoils make daily trips to connect Santorini to the mainland Greece.
A classical ferry that departs from Piraeus needs about eight hours to reach the port of Santorini while more modern ferries need about seven hours. Santorini is also conencted to Thessaloniki (the trip takes about 20 hours) and Heraklion, Crete (4 hours by normal ferry). It is also linked with other Aegean islands, so you can combine your holidays.
Apart from normal ferries, there are also many hydrofoil itineraries to connect Santorini with other Aegean islands.
Using the plane you can choose among the everyday - scheduled flights from Athens International Airport (Eleftherios Venizelos) or using one of the thousands charter fights during the summer season. The National Airport of Santorini is connected to most international airports.
The flight time from Athens to Santorini is about 45 minutes and from Thessaloniki to Santorini about 1 hour and a half
Stay tuned,

Greek Posts
Lusso magazine is a relatively new magazine and as its title indicates is a magazine about Luxury. It was quite interesting to read some posts about Greece and I found them quite well posted.
The first article is about Thessaloniki, the second biggest city of Greece and the marketing center of North Greece and Balkans. Indeed Thessaloniki is a charmy town with great combination of history and modern architecture. Thessaloniki is full with historical places of modern and ancient times, with well operated musuems and excellent quality restaurants. Actually is a town for all tastes, and I can not imagine you not finding something to like there.
For those expecting to see Thessaloniki being similar to Athens will realize soon that Thessaloniki is so different from Athens. Off course both suffer from the same traffic problems and have apparent poor urban planning and etc. But this does not mean that Thessaloniki is not developing, and whatever the article states is far true: Thessaloniki Life
Regarding properties and houses in Thessaloniki, please note that Thessaloniki is very near to Halkidiki, thus combines the life of a big city with an easily accessible holiday resort like Halkidiki. The last years there is an increased interest for buying Properties in Thessaloniki. We will post more about property opportunities in Thessaloniki.
The second article is about the holiday resorts near Athens: Resorts in Athens. Indeed Lagonisi or Lagonissi is not only a great place for having luxury holidays in Athens, but a great place for buying properties in Greece. Read the post: Resorts in Athens and you will definitely understand to what I am referring to.
