It was an eye opening weekend and as it usually goes, when you manage to go further and further away to look at the big picture, it all makes sense. So as an answer to my puzzled mind, I met my godparents after 20 years of not seeing them. They live outside of Aigio and we had a lovely time together.

Everything is slowly getting decomposed my routine, my sleep, my mind. As it seems I will be telling you about my weekend on a Wednesday. I once again visited the hot and sunny city of Kalamata where I mostly vacated (in the expected sense of the word) spending most mornings at beach bars, relaxing, eating sea food. Nothing extravagant, very refreshing nonetheless.

These last days I spent at my village in Mani, Kastania, as we celebrated the baptism of my twin nephews. It was a lot of work and kind of hilarious to watch the priest, the parents and the godfathers try to juggle everything inside that small church, taking turns in everything, asking who is who all the time. At the same time it was all about the ultimate cuteness, times two. We decorated the traditional tavern of my uncle, set the tables and everyone ate together when the whole thing was over and the babies were all cried out.

The heat right now in Athens is sucking the life out of me. The whole weekend I was in a heat zone, I couldn’t even move from the heat, but I had to go at the city center as I have recently started work at a great space at monastiraki.

My birthday weekend was as perfect as it gets! We had booked an amazing house in Nafplio which was in the center of the old town and had a huge yard where I blew my candles. Now that I am 30 all the craziness of what I should have done is gone.

Even more so, as this birthday was the most fun and crazy than I have had in the last few years. So we still got it and we are never loosing it!

I survived my first bachelorette ever, with just the proper amount of Hangover (without any tattoos or missing anyone). We had a blast yesterday at the beach, mainly because of the bride being in crazy spirit and us running around taking all kinds of wild photos as she wanted us to. A day earlier I had told her that she was allowed to do anything she wanted and she did..., and we followed.

I have very few photos to post, because the theme of the day was to take Polaroid photos (that I absolutely loved) and the digital ones are of course censored to public appearance.

So close to the actual summer vacations we had a sneak preview this weekend. I went at a friends house in Pylos near Kalamata and we had 3 days of beach, view-watching and relaxing. We went once again to explore Polylimnio, which I have mentioned before here, a place with 9 lakes and many waterfalls and we ate great, homemade food at a stone tavern at Mesohori.

We got a good taste of summer this weekend, as we got together at a friend’s beach summer house to get a tan, eat and gossip. The beach was perfect as it had the revitalizing breeze, the sun and the proper amount of people. I loved the house too, as the only sound was that of the leaves blowing in the wind and it had the most relaxing atmosphere.

Thinking what to write about the best of this weekend, what I enjoyed most was a coffee I had with friends at a posh café at the south suburbs of athens on Saturday morning. These are the green, relaxing surroundings of the café and following the delicious meal that a friend cooked up for all of us to have together.

This weekend was full of celebrations for a very popular greek name-day and as all my friends got together we got into seeing some of the photos from china. I thought it would be more interesting to show you a bit more from china as I realized I have some pictures of brides taking their pictures after the wedding in the most beautiful places around china. These are only two of them but we saw a couple more that looked equally magnificent.

Weekendology calling…”spring is here!!”, and we sure celebrated it accordingly. May came bringing sunshine and warmth, so my best friend decided to organize a theme party at her garden. The theme?  Flowers of course.  Everyone came, we ate, we drunk, we danced.

I had such a traditional weekend for Easter, as I went at the most beautiful greek village, my own! It is called Kastania and as my father says, it is located at the sacred ground of Mani.

I have loads of pictures naturally, as I couldn’t put the camera down, starting from views of the picturesque Kastania.

My friends are making fun of the fact that I am carrying a camera wherever I go, if it is the weekend, but that hasn’t kept me from doing it, still! 

We were at a bar celebrating a friend’s birthday and I was taking photos of the decoration as it had a great industrial feel to it and a clever type of measure tape on the wall inspired by its name, 33 square meters. And it is in fact that big, or that small to be exact.

It was a summery weekend and as I had to go to the city center on Saturday morning I also I took some pictures. The first one is the Omonia square with some people lying to take some sun (in real life there is a much more obvious decadence!)

This weekend was overshadowed by our Saturday night fever celebrating a friend’s 30th birthday. She is the first one to turn 30 and the domino started from now on. Of course we celebrated it accordingly having a kind of classmates’ reunion and dancing our heads off.

This is our table at the bar, you can tell how much drinking went on.

I went all over this weekend, starting from the village of a friend near Grevena, at the northwest of Greece, called Kipourio, moving on to the ski center of Vasilitsa, walking around at the Portitsa bridge and looking over at Edessa’s waterfalls and Kastoria's lake. All in all, we were enjoying ourselves while admiring nature’s beauties. 

Take a look yourself starting from the view we had waking up in the morning at Kipourio.

It was a weekend of seminars as I mostly spent it at the 11^th greek architectural seminar, which was less interesting than expected, but I had the pleasure of accommodating one of my best friends who had come to be there and give a lecture (she rocked it!). It took place at the Zappeion Exhibition Hall, a historic building of Athens.

This weekend I was in Salonica, the city that I think is the most European one of Greece. It is so beautiful and of course the fact that some of my best friends live there only makes it better. Here are some photos from the  amazing daytime and the crazy nightime in the city that has it all.

It is snowing right now and I am loving it, let’s hope it will all be white tomorrow! Coming back to Athens yesterday we were driving through the fog and it was quite surreal.

That was a really inspiring, calming weekend for me as I went away and toured a bit around Arcadia. It was very cold and refreshing and I enjoyed all the walking and driving so much, and the eating too! I went to a bunch of historical villages. Following is Dimitsana and an amazing phenomenon in Kapsia, where a river ends in a kind of waterfall, where all the water disappears in the earth.
