CRAZY LADY

-“Are you going to rappel down?"

-"Of course not!"

ET IN ARCADIA EGO

One of the best trips I've taken in recent years was to Arcadia.

I was again with my beloved Olga Harami. Olga is fearless, irrepressible and the perfect traveling companion for photo expeditions. I've rafted with her, walked in a forest where a bear had appeared a few days before, bumped my head on ancient stones and been at her side as driver or co-driver on endless miles of countless winding roads all over Greece.

WORD FIGHTER

Of course, there is much more to it than that. Most importantly: she is the best travel "pen" in the country for many many years, so it was a great honor to be back with her again for another expedition.

Our main stops on this trip: Karitena, Abelionas, Temple of Epicurean Apollo, Lousios River, the top of Lykaion Mountain and Ancient Gortyna.

I don't want to write much about these places, just let you see the photos and imagine how beautiful the nature is there. All I want to say emphatically is that visiting the Temple of Epicurean Apollo has been on my bucket list for a very long time (after all, I am a child of Apollo) and I am glad that when the moment came, Olga was there.

CAN’T SAY NO

Olga and I have laughed a lot on our expeditions, even when, just before both of us collapsed, she would ask me "can we go there and take just a couple of pictures?"
"There" usually means another hour or two.

Of course I didn't jump from 35m tied to a rope into the void. These crazy stuff are Olga's specialty and as you can see, she is extremely happy every time:

Awesome woman.
