Not sure what you might find here... Turtles & Tortoises, Nature, Lithuania & some more countries, Metal \m/, Mythology... Very random shit :P

Ancient Theater of Epidaurus, Greece, 1956. People gather to watch Anna Synodinou in Sophocles’ Antigone, directed by Alexis Minotis. 

Another batch of greek pics while i'm recovering 🤧

I know Eleusina is not one of the most touristic places, nor its ruins the most famous, but I really wanted to see them and asked Dim to take me there. Because I always was so curious about the "Eleusinian mysteries", this alternate religion centered about Demeter and Persephone. The ruins we visited was the temple and surroundings. I learnt a lot and found in the cave (called Plutonium, yes 😆) leftovers of the typical offerings, like pomegranates. The museum gave me even more insight, it had beautiful pieces that help picturing better how big and great Eleusis used to be.

Sadly now it's an industrial town surrounded by factories 😞

It's been one week since I came back from Greece and honestly i should have stayed there, because in these last days back home only shitty things have happened to me, included my work almost going to hell and the f*cking covid i'm suffering right now -_-

So at least i thought i could share my pics from there now that i have time to fix them. I started with the foodp0rn because it was so great :D

So here you have gyros (with fries inside, yes xD), dakos (with olive paste instead of olives), kolokithokeftedes (and i'm not a fan of zucchini!), kormós (or mosaiko, very similar to tinginys!), souvlaki (out of the pita in this case), grilled sardines (from a ψαροταβερνα in Pireas), skordaliá (it's like mashed potatoes with alioli sauce but much better than it sounds), horta (i would love to have this here), homemade spanakopita and homemade fasolakia too (my bf's mom wanted to feed us non stop xD), and last but not least saganaki (with formaella cheese we got in Αραχοβα).

Missing here the delicious mousaka also homemade, the koulouri that i liked so much or the kaimaki ice cream, because apparently i love mastiha :D
