Think you know Greece?..think again.

When people ask me something like: ‘‘Have you been in Mexico? - In Argentina? - In Sahara?

My response is this: ‘‘Not yet!’’

I love to leave the options open. Life’s too short to limit ourselves, don’t you think?

Anyway.. back to our subject.

When you picture Greece, I believe in your mind is all about sandy beaches and sun-drenched islands? …. am I right?

Well, we’re here to shake things up.

Greece is small but yet so big in many ways.

History is one of the reasons.

Landscapes and nature another.

What I have gather for you today is different. Think of cozy mornings in a stone village surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Or spotting majestic brown bears and Dalmatian pelicans in serene northern landscapes. Maybe hiking a breathtaking gorge in Crete or even walking through the desert on Lemnos Island.

This is a part of Greece that many people ignore and miss out.

✨ Lemnos Desert

Yes, Greece even has a desert! On Lemnos Island, golden dunes meet the Aegean Sea for an unforgettable contrast.

The Ammothines of Lemnos, located in the Gomati region, are a rare inland dune formation spread over 70 acres. Unlike coastal dunes, these sandy expanses were formed by wind transporting the sand, creating a miniature desert reminiscent of the Sahara.

This surreal landscape is dotted with low vegetation and framed by shrub-covered hills, with the distant sea adding a dreamy backdrop. It’s a photographer’s paradise and an unforgettable stop for any traveler exploring Lemnos Island.
