About the author

I can stay on the beach all day eating grapes and drinking water. I am happy with nothing when I can still find that in both my native lands – Greece and Italy. After all I am from the Mediterranean and, wherever I have lived, that fact has helped me survive any kind of hardship. All I knew was that at some point I could get back to basics in some Grecian paradise. Life is hard and I don’t think I have a positive motto of the kind you might know, but life is still made of flashes of magic moments that someone has to be wise enough to be able to catch. I try to be ready for that catch.

There is no other island in Greece like Santorini

Back to basics in some Greek paradise

The architecture the Dodecanese, and Simi in particular, is a story in itself. I cannot resist the cheese selection in Naxos – the one I love is Arsenico with local fig marmalade on top– or the cherry tomatoes of Santorini and the local white wine.
