Last week was awesome and full of trips for me. Some friends of mine from Thessaloniki , the city I used to live, visited me at my hometown in order to host and give them a tour in my region Epirus. It was their first time here in Epirus so I had plenty of places to visit in only one week.
FESTIVALS AT KONITSA
We spend the days of full moon at the most amazing place with music and a lot of dance, at my boyfriend's village Konitsa. There was a two-days festival which took place under the old stone bridge of the village by the river. The first day was full of Epirus traditional music, people of all ages where there dancing, drinking and celebrating all together. It was a quite touching to enjoy traditional songs that we have learn from our grandparents and grew up with them next to this amazing scenery.
The second day of festival was more about young people, there were bands from Epirus playing jazz, hip hop and alternative music. The artists really rocked it, the vibes was so good and strong, everyone was dancing and having fun. What I loved more was the whole scenery which I couldn't stop watching, the huge full moon between the fog on the mountains and at the bottom of that the lighted stone bridge and the flowing river. Oh my...what a feeling I wish I could transfer you that vibe!
TOUR AT THE RIVERS
After the festivals we continued our tour visiting the most beautiful rivers of Epirus. First of all we stopped at Voidomatisriver but the weather wasn't really sunny that day. After that we also visited the Gated of Hades which is located at Acheron river. Both places are amazing I have been there many time before but my friends got shocked from the beauty of them.
LEFKADA ISLAND
After our mini tours at the rivers we spend 3 days at my favorite island Lefkada. Despite the fact that I have visited for many years I strongly believe it is the most beautiful island in Ionian sea and I wanted to show it to my friends as well. We spend our days doing free camping at a beautiful wild beach and take tours at different beaches every day. My week was so full I am glad I shared those amazing places with others and now I am just waiting for September to go on vacation again!
Thank you for stopping by guys, I hope you enjoyed my post!
Have a great day! 😃
