The time stops as beauty, energy and happiness collide in  an explosion of laughter and joy in this magical island! Chora of Ios at sunset (photo by Irene Mc. Photography ) The sun starts to cover in red the white graciousness of the Chora (main village of a Greek island), perched high up on the hill, as it sets deep in the blue, tender embrace of the Aegean sea around it. Gradually the bars of the Chora pump up the volume, and the music begins to invade with its notes of all the white alleys, the blood begins to warm up, the energy, the beauty and the youthfulness collide in an explosion of laughter and joy, as the time stops in the "Kingdom of eternal youth", in the seductive island of Ios . Mylopotas beach Every summer, thousands of tourists, mainly of a young age, arrive from all over the world to get lost in the vibrant cobbled alleys of the Chora and the famed bars of Ios.  They swarm in the island to live its legendary parties and swim in it...

Like a shining white balcony suspended above the sea, you will be dazzled by its Chora (main settlement), and its calm, exotic beaches (updated with links!) by Kon Hans St. Nikolaos beach Anafi island is a small ebony sculpture embraced by the Aegean Sea, where a gorgeous, white small town (the Chora) bursts out from its dark, volcanic bowels, gazing at her great sister Santorini and the vastness of the blue horizon. The beauty of Anafi, the austere beauty of black and blue, is the one that testifies to the serene power of mother earth, a power which endows this special island with a unique and wild character.. View from above, the Chora Away from the spotlight, unlike the neighboring and famous Santorini, Anafi is a small surprise: a genuine, volcanic black jewel that is waiting for you to discover. As soon as the ship is moored in the tiny harbor, you will be impressed by the wild beauty of this place as your gaze climbs up the black rock to meet the magical...

as soon as you set foot on this hospitable land you will instantly feel the calm vibrations that will  wash off all the anxiety and preoccupation. (updated with links!) by Kon Hans Deep in the Aegean Sea, in the borders between the Dodecanese and Cyclades, a glorious lady, an Aegean nymph, stretches out her wings, wide over the waves, while her crown, ancient and splendid under the sun, rises proudly and shines like a lighthouse day and night, visible for all to admire.  It is the "Chora" (main settlement of an island) of Astypalaia , one of the most beautiful in all the islands of Greece. Familiar white Cycladic houses mixed with the Dodecanese character, pulled tight together, blend marvellously with the environment as they seem to pour from above, from the Castle, like pure white lava that engulfs the hill all around. The Chora is certainly the most famous attraction of the island and will require most of your time and your admiration, but also the rest of t...

Greece: The different faces of Patmos Kon Hans A poetic path of self-awareness and discovery in the internal character of the island View of the Chora   (foto by K.H.) Cold waters, beautiful pebbled beaches, salt cedars that offer small oases of shade, creeks that compose the laced coastline of Patmos as it’s seen from above, from the awe-inspiring and mystic Monastery of Saint John the Theologian, which throws over the island the mythical veil of the Apocalypse. And indeed, that Monastery is the first thing you see after your long journey to Patmos; illuminated up there in the Chora (main settlement of the island) as if suspended in the middle of the sky, seems promising enough  to make you forget the fatigue of the eight hour trip in the ferry from Piraeus. The Holy Island of Patmos with its religious and devotional aura that accompanies it and appears to be emanating from its world known cave, -where St. John conceived the dark forms of the Apocalypse...
