The "First Resurrection"

It's the Orthodox Holy Saturday in Greece and early in the morning, in the Ionian island of Lefkada (much like Corfu's traditional customs) Greeks are celebrating the "First Resurrection" before Easter. With the sounding of the First Resurrection clay pots are fired from windows and balconies in the city of Lefkada. It is said that symbolizes the crushing of the evil.
But for those who don't want or don't have the time to watch this local custom, I think it's a mervelous day to go for a a swim on some of the island's stunning beaches.
I'll do that!
🐣 Happy Orthodox Easter everyone!
Don't eat soooo much: Apart from maintain our good health, we also have a body to praise this summer (which with such a sun today and with such a good mood, I believe it's going to be exciting)!

Lefkada, Greece
This moment.-

It's Holy Wednesday in Greece and today's photo looks like just another portrait of mine, a blond girl in front of a white wall, slightly tanned, seemingly careless. What you don't know is that in front of me I have the sea of ​​Lefkada that I love, I got the slightly tanned skin earlier this morning as I was cleaning the muddy water (from Africa) that rained in the past two days - but today it's sunny. And with a sun like this up in the sky everything looks beautiful and possible.
It's time to drink my favorite beer, relax on the veranda of the place that I feel like home (on my favorite Greek island) watch the sea right in front and listen to the waves. 💙 🙏 This moment of mine.-

Como Lake Italia
Como is lovely but...

The Italian Como village with its popular Como Lake, Bellazio and other neighboring villages are lovely - but they are not like Lefkada in Spring.
Do you feel homesick or nostalgia (and a bit of paranoid) every Spring or am I the only suffering?
However, about Como village, its lake and your visit at, I've already written an article (you've loved it/visited so many times and I thank you for that) on what to do and how to save money on your travel plan.

Athens to Marrakesh
New Aegean's cheap flights

On the occasion of the opening of the new destination and the first Aegean's Air flight from Athens to Marrakesh - last night - to which all the passengers were offered a glass of champagne, we've searched for you and found the cheapest fares and ticket promotions currently in value from today, to make the same one way air route (or round trip) in cheap prices AND with the Aegean Air from Greece, during next months.
In fact the cheapest price we've found already (if you book your ticket today on the dates we provide you) for the Aegean's flight from Athens to Marrakesh in May and June 2019 is only €63,99/person and at the end of July you can book your return ticket just for €48,89/person.

The day that Notre Dame became Notre Damn😢

Today it's the Great Monday for the Catholics and a very sad day for the whole world; Notre Dame of Paris wrapped in flames (possibly) after an unforgivable mistake that occurred during its renovation process.
A historic building of faith and art that survived more than 800 years of revolution and war - today is being destroyed by human's negligence.

Shanghai China
Time Traveller in a time machine

That day, last year, we were almost ready for our long journey to China, having already gathered as much information as we could about our first stop Shanghai (and not only for our first stop).
Throughout my journey, along with my favorite Olympus OM-D E-M10 limited edition camera, we were able to capture a China different from what the majority of our western world knows; a country with superpower growth rhythms but also with some special highlights that brought you back in time - not just mindless or in a nostalgic way.
For many of these things I have already written at my TRAVEL section in Greek, for the rest (and still many) of them, I will continue writing and complete the tribute, at least for some more time.
Saty tuned!

How to travel from Karlsruhe to Mannheim by bus or train?
No matter how many times I've searched the web, I couldn't find a satisfying answer.
But today the good news is that the solution is already up in my TRAVEL section, for any fellow travelers (like me) who seek for more and accurate information on the transfer options, in order to program his/her trip.

Friday, trip to Nafplio and more

I'm writing about Nafplio, a different article - (you will soon be able to see it on my TRAVEL section) and I am wearing a pink t-shirt New England Patriots with Tom Brady's name and number in the back (which doesn't differ in anything from my own reality 👾 Do you see the global conspiracy behind the "irony" of the situation? I hope not. There is none 💙).
Also don't forget, this weekend there is the 2 days Travel Festival going on, an opportunity to make new friends around the globe.
You will also listen to real stories about gorgeous travels that inspire and motivate you to endure the 9-5 work, and that's the proof that
(the) LIFE (you choose) COULD BE AWESOME. 🐦

April's fool day | Lily from LilyWasHere You don't fool me (?)
• April 1st, 2019
Athens, Greece
1st day of everything

It's the 1st day of the week, it's the 1st day of the month, “It'sthe first day of the rest of your life” (as Timo Maas sings).
Today is the worldwide April Fools' Day but to be honest, no wise man thinks he can't be fooled any other of the 364 days of the year.
Neither anyone (man or woman) who is in love thinks that.
So maybe today is the first day - for some of us - to realize that too.
Let's celebrate this day, week and month as much as we can.
'Cause that's all that matters, that's all that lasts!
💋 Kisses
— Lil.
