Paleokastritsa – Corfù (Greece)
The bay of Paleokastritsa is in the North West of Corfu, with his amazing beaches and cristal clear sea.
Paleokastritsa is a small village where the epic poem the Odyssey, tells that legendary Odysseus (Ulysses) disembarked and met Nausicaa for the first time.
A great view and a lovely place to visit and to have a coffee or a lunch, is the La Grotta (grotto) beach bar. This is situated in a tiny little cove with crystal clear, very deep and icy cold water.
There is maybe 100 stairs to go down and up, but a, highly recommended if you are on the island.

Parga (Greece) by day
The small town of Parga, with its colorful houses is the most popular summer destination in Epirus region in Greece.
An amazing green islet with a white church stands at the entrance of the port, while the ruined walls of a Venetian castle can be seen on top of a hill above the town.
It’s no wonder this place is as popular with the Greeks as it is with foreign holidaymakers.

Meteora (Μετέωρα) – Suspended in the air
Meteora is one of the largest and most important complexes of Orthodox monasteries, and one of the most surreal, beautiful and breathtaking natural landscape in Greece, and I think, in the world.
The Metéora is in the Plain of Thessaly in central Greece. The nearest town is Kalambaka, and is included on the UNESCO World Heritageat.
From the 11th century onwards, twenty-four monasteries were built, despite incredible difficulties, at the time of the great revival of the eremetic ideal in the 15th century. They were created to serve monks and nuns following the teachings of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Today six of these monasteries are still intact and active, and two of these are inhabited by nuns.
This is the first part of a large photo gallery of Meteora. In the next days I publish other six galleries with more shots of Meteora and of his monasteries.

Calvi – Corsica
Calvi is the biggest tourist city of the French island of Corsica.
Places of interest in Calvi are: the long beach of white sand, the harbourside with yachts and private cruisers and, of course, the old Citadel.
The Citadel is the main part of the town, and its most important historical monument. It was a military outpost that helped guard the city against foreign attacks. French Foreign Legion is today based in the citadel.
In the Citadel there are the remains of a house that, according to legend, to be the place where Christopher Columbus was born.

Marken – Holland – Part #1
The fairy-tale village Marken is on a peninsula in the Markermeer, in the North Netherlands, at only 20 minutes from Amsterdam.
Marken is a well-known tourist attraction for its characteristic green and white wooden houses (usually painted yellow and blue inside) and for his harbour quarter.
Houses here are built on little hills called werven, or on pilings to keep them high and dry.
Walking around Marken, is easy to see the impressive town’s architecture. Until 1957, Marken was an island in isolation from the rest of the Netherlands, so it developed an independent culture, architecture, dialect, dress and more. Marken ceased to be an island in in 1957, when a dike between Marken and the mainland was built.
These shots are taken after a storm, so, I was lucky to take a raimbow over the village in some photos.
