Nikos Kazantzakis

Nikos Kazantzakis is, and remains one of my favourite authors. I discovered him in my youth, and he shaped it.

I can't't go to Crete without visiting his tomb.Every time.

I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.

Μια τοιχογραφία τη Δευτέρα

 

Greek, for: a Monday Mural. Mia toichografía ti Deftéra.

Well, running out of murals, I went to look for them on the island of Crete, Greece. Bingo! There seems to have been a mural "championship" in Herakleion, the island's capital, beautiful ones. Enjoy!

More Monday Murals here.

Back in town!


 Back in town, after a few days in COVID-free Crete (that's what they say anyway). Had an excellent time, apart of the things stolen from my bag by the ground handling crew at Heraklion airport.

Not my kind of places!

Specially in COVID times. No no no, I love desert beaches, without umbrellas, without people. Desert.

When in Rome...

Well, this is not Rome, this is in Pula, Istria, Croatia. One of the many amphitheatres built by Rome, all around the Med. This one is called the Pula Arena, the 6th largest among the 200  or so surviving amphitheatre. More about it here.
