I used to be employed as photographer for a travel magazine. During the three years that our collaboration lasted, I had the chance to travel to many beautiful places of Greece, many of which I haven't even heard of. It was before I start blogging, I didn't even had a social media account back then. So the pictures, after they were published to the magazine (and the sites associated with it) they remained in my hard drive, patiently waiting to be seen one more time!
Some of those pictures had their chance in the posts that I am writing here since 2018. But as they are only a fraction of my themes, I still haven't told you about many of the places that I was fortunate enough to visit and photograph!
Gavros in the region of Evrytania in central Greece, is one of those places. As small as it can get, this tiny settlement has practically one road with a few houses on each side. But the location is just breathtaking!
Of course the locals has taken advantage of the natural beauty of their place and most of the houses are restaurants, gift shops or guest houses. Although it used to be a proper village with elementary school and plenty of residents, the truth is that the only reason that it still exists, is the tourist activity.
Nevertheless if you are traveling in the area and you are craving for a warm meal, you are glad it does :)
The buildings are almost hidden by the abundant vegetation. And the singing of the running water, right next to the road, is an irresistible invitation to cross the village's stone-built bridge and go for a walk on the river bank!
All the pictures and the words are mine.
