“The Favourite”, directed by the talented Greek Yorgos Lanthimos and written by Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara, one of the most unique films of 2018 - also nominated for 10 Oscars awards - is released in Greece for a Limited Audience.This means that for the time being you can watch it only at selected cinemas, the “Odeon Opera” (57 Academy street, Kolonaki, Athens Center) and in the “Havana cinema” (234 Kifissias & Lykourgos str., Halandri - Cholargos, Athens).
The film is expected to be released to a wider audience (and of course in more cinemas across Greece) on Thursday 7 February.
However shortly after the early morning hours, a strong sun rised and now that it is almost midday, feels like spring and the temperature approaches the 16 °C. Take a walk if you have time to enjoy today's sunny weather! Who knows what tomorrow brings!
Reminder: Today is the celebration of the three Hierarchs and the schools remain closed all over the country!
♡ Enjoy your day in the tropical Greece!

And it isn't found anywhere else but in the coastal city of Nazaré, yes the one which is famous for its giant waves (30+ meters high) in the winter and photographs that make the round of the world, with some of the best surfers worldwide, sweating as they try to tame them.
But when it's sunny and the weather is good
this place is the paradise.For sure you won't dive to the Atlantic ocean as easily as you might dive in the Greek waters or in the mediterranean sea, as you have to mind completely different factors but this long sandy beach, the atmosphere, the people and the fishing history of this destination will enchant you for sure.
Read about my favorite Portuguese Nazaré and learn how you could organize a pleasant trip there, because if you travel to to beautiful country of Portugal, it is such a shame not to visit it - I personally guarantee that.
Ermou street for shopping - today is a good day because even it is Monday and all the others shops are closed in the evening - Ermou's street shops are open until 21.00 (from where is my photo today).

“Today marks a historical day. Greece safeguards an important part of its history, the heritage of Ancient Greek Macedonia.#Συμφωνια_των_Πρεσπων #Βουλή #Vouli
Today we write a new page for the Balkans. The hatred of nationalisms, conflicts and arguments give their place to friendship, peace and cooperation.
The next generations in both countries will owe a debt of gratitude to the deputies who, with courage and daring, laid the foundations for a future of peace, solidarity and harmonious co-existence between the two peoples.
North Macedonia, which was born today, will be a friendly country. An ally and supporter of Greece in its efforts for safety, stability and joint development in the region.”

Today in Athens was a sunny day in 15°C and I was glad to attend in a forum during the Money Show Athens about the
"Gastronomy and gastronomy's destination opportunities" organized by Respond On Demand and hosted in the Divani Caravel Hotel. These initiatives are always important and we all who are engaging in tourism, appreciate such events that help us learn more about how we can contribute to making Greece a gastronomy tourist destination. Well done to everyone!
Have a good week everyone and whatever you do make sure you do it with love!
May 2019 be the year that will change this point of view for all of us and will make it a prospect.
