The scenic village of Akovos in Arcadia, Peloponnese is a village seeped in history. The mountains are breathtaking and offer a great escape from the city life.

Snowy Mountain Peak/Χιονισμενα Βουνα
A few photographs of the snow on the mountains of Attiki region of Greece. The snow from the unusual snow storm ‘Medea’ has all melted away, thank goodness.
Μερικές φωτογραφίες από τα χιόνια στα βουνά της Αττικής εδω στην Ελλάδα. Το χιόνι από την ασυνήθιστη χιονοθύελλα ‘Μηδεια’ έχει λιώσει, ευτυχος.
Winter Is Here!
“Nothing burns like the cold. But only for a while. Then it gets inside you and starts to fill you up, and after a while you don’t have the strength to fight it.”

FYI-I’m not a fan of ‘A Game of Thrones’, but I like the quote 🙂
Snow Capped Mountains/Χιονισμενα Βουνα
The new year brought a new winter storm named ‘Telemachos’ (named after a character in Greek mythology) to Greece. It snowed in the Attiki region of Greece for the first time in years. The rest of Greece is worse than Canada-yikes! I wanted to make it up those mountains take some pictures, but the traffic is insane.
More ‘icy’ photos to come.
Ο Τηλεμαχος ηρθε και παγωσαμε!
Πιο ‘παγωμενες’ φωτογραφιες συντομα.
Winter Is Here/Ο χειμώνας είναι εδώ
Snow-capped mountains are not something most Athenians like to see. The next wave of snow is coming tonight and people are bracing themselves for the subzero temperatures.
Τα βουνά καλυμμένα με χιόνι δεν είναι κάτι που οι περισσότεροι Αθηναίοι ήθελαν να δουν. Το επόμενο κύμα χιονιού έρχεται απόψε και οι άνθρωποι προετοιμάζονται για τις υπό το μηδέν θερμοκρασίες .

Snowy February/Χιονισμενο Φεβρουαριο
Snow capped mountains in Athens during a sudden snowfall this month after a period of warm weather.
Χιονισμένα βουνά στην Αθήνα κατά τη διάρκεια μια ξαφνική χιονόπτωση αυτό το μήνα μετά από πολύ ζεστό καιρό.
Before the Rainfall/Πριν απο τη βροχoπτωση
The beautiful Mount Pentelicus (Pentelli), with its monasteries and luxury homes, is located northeast of Athens. It is from this mountain range that the ancient Greeks extracted their white marble to build the Parthenon and other temples in Athens. The weather that day changed abruptly, but I was able to sneak in a few photographs before the rainfall.
Above Athens/Πάνω Από Την Αθήνα
Last month, I had a little adventure going up Parnitha mountain. Parnitha mountain is located North of Athens The view was breathtaking and of course I brought my camera and I took some photos of the landscape.
Τον περασμένο μήνα, είχα μια μικρή περιπέτεια στο βουνό της Πάρνηθας. H Πάρνηθα βρίσκεται Bόρεια της Αθήνας Η θέα ήταν μαγευτική και φυσικά έφερα φωτογραφική μηχανή μου και πήρα μερικές φωτογραφίες του τοπίου.
