A walk in Ermioni - Peloponnese, Greece

It is not the first time I start a #wednesdaywalk post with a photo of a small harbor with fishing boats, but this one is not from our island. It is from a trip we did with @fotostef a few weeks ago in the mainland of Greece, and specifically in the most eastern part of eastern Peloponnese. This is the picturesque village of Ermioni. It is a relaxing place, especially in siesta time that we arrived.


It is a quite popular destination for the Athenians as it is about 2,5 hours driving from Athens and within a short drive you feel like being in an island. The water is crystal clear and there are plenty of beaches around.

The village is built on a small peninsula, so we just walked around enjoying the gentle sun and the smell of the fresh air coming from the sea.

And then we wandered at the narrow streets of the village. Everything was so quiet.

And while the only living beings we had met till that moment were these two cats...

... a car passed by. And then we saw some more people, everyone was slowly waking up from siesta. This old car looked just right in this environment :)

I love these curtains. Peacocks in love. How cute, haha! My grandma had similar ones, yes, with peacocks :)

I don't know who had the idea and the good cheer to paint the electricity poles, but I really liked the idea. I love these details that make a place unique because someone put some extra love and care! Here is a small collection :)


A hopscotch, what a nice surprise! That was one of my favorite games as a child and I was really good at it :)
I could hear a kid's voice coming from the house, I guess it is the kid that has spent hours hopping, 1,2,3,5,7,8,9 as the path of the yellow dots is guiding us :)

Watch out for the human traffickers at hivefest. You wont know it until its too late. STAY AWAY! Beware, traffickers can be women or men! They will act nice until they dont. There is human trafficking going on around this type of crypto. I have witnessed it. They literally have attempted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem if you run into one of them you may want to immediately shoot them in the face. 187, annihilate, asphyxiate, assassinate, behead, bleed, bludgeon, boil, bomb, bone, burn, bury, butcher, cap, casket, choke, chop, club, crucify, crush, curb, decapitate, decimate, deflesh, demolish, destroy, devein, disembowel, dismember, drown, electrocute, eliminate, end, euthanize, eviscerate, execute, explode, exterminate, extinguish, finish, fry, grind, guillotine, gut, hack, hang, hit, ice, implode, incinerate, kill, liquidate, lynch, massacre, maul, microwave, mutilate, neutralize, obliterate, off, pop, poison, punnish, quarter, ruin, shank, shock, shoot, shred, skin, slay, slaughter, smoke, smother, snipe, snuff, squish, stab, strangle, stone, suffocate, suicide, SWAT, swing, terminate, torture, terrorize, whack, waste, wreck.

What a beautiful town dear friend @traisto, I love the cobbled streets and the well-preserved buildings from times
Beautiful shots, thank you very much for showing us

Thank you so much for stopping by dear @jlufer, glad you enjoyed it! It is a beautiful place indeed and the weather was great, so the whole atmosphere was charming :)

Wow what a gorgeous walk! The sun was so clear on the water and you could feel the warmth and silence of the town. Beautiful formatting too.

Thank you Sara!!! It was nice spending some time there, yes :)
It was still springtime and the sun was warm and gentle at the same time, and everything was so quiet! Nice place, great timing :)

Oh what I would give to dive into that sea. Beautiful photos @traisto, thank you for sharing your walk with us xxxx

Thanks sweet @trucklife-family! I would looove to be close to the sea now too! I hope the temperature there is getting better :) xxxx

You know what comes to mind when I see those pictures: peacefulness and innocence. The curtains, the paintings, the cats laying around, the hopscotch! That's something I don't see around here anymore. I don't see kids playing on the streets. Where are they? I remember spending hours outside with my friends doing all sorts of shit and freaking out when the girls showed up.

Hahaha! Same here!

It is lost here as well I guess, only in small places you can still find traces! And don't forget that I focus on these details :) Fortunately these small towns and villages keep a nostalgic character and still give kids some safety and free space to express themselves :)

I am never good at writing long comments, but some posts do leave me speechless for a while so taken away by the beauty that is shared, and this is one such post, took me quite a while to scroll through it as I was stopping and enjoying each and every photo

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

So glad you liked it @tattoodjay! It was nice for me as well to go back to that day and recall this relaxation that traveling to quiet places offers :)
Thank you for your very kind reply!

I just say it as I see it, I always enjoy your posts and photos

:)
