The latest fire at the areas of Voutsas, Mati ,Kokkino Limanaki….shocked not only our country ,but almost all countries globally….

The fire ,the strong winds…caught us unawares!

The most shocking was the death roll…..

Families, especially children were trapped in a cliff….at kokkino limanaki…they were burned alive..embracing each other……

….tragical scene…, no one wishes to live.

The burned down houses can be rebuild!!! Until yesterday morning, I was told that my house was on fire……a few hours later I went on the spot ….and gave a sigh of RELIEF!!! 

People are missing, the fire brigade makes superhuman efforts since July the 23rd, not only to put down the fire and what also remains until now…… their effort still remains to locate missing people……

I wish  all the neighbors who lost their properties…..lost their loved ones……to ENDURE…never lose HOPE….

GOD BE WITH YOU!

Like a flash , the idea struck me!!!

Why not, I said to myself!!

ONE DAY WITHOUT!!!! 

 so, I declared

July 22nd a day without a MOBILE PHONE!!!

WE CAN MAKE IT!!!

It is high time to feel free from our mobile dependencies……and time to really enjoy time -real time with our friends …

So, what do you think , CAN WE MAKE IT WITHOUT????

Spread the word around….

Tesla boss Elon Musk has built a prototype submarine to help aid the rescue of a group of 12 children and their football coach trapped in a cave in Thailand.

Elon Musk has sent a team of engineers to help rescue the group of 12 children and their coach trapped in a cave in Thailand.

The billionaire entrepreneur said that a group of engineers from his companies, SpaceX and The Boring Company, would leave for Thailand on Saturday “to see if we can be helpful to the government.”

Musk has commented on the rescue through Twitter since the news broke earlier this week, initially offering help to the Thai government in their rescue operations in response to a request online. He also outlined an idea for a rescue operation, using pumps, battery packs and tubes.

Up to now 6 children are resqued ……via the divers’ endurance, patience, experience…….

Our prayers and hopes are with them….

Since I was a small kid I was lucky enough to travel with my parents, then with  my ex husband , lately alone……

I have many memories stored in my mind….photos and experiences….

Now, growing up…I prefer getting to know my country Greece better…….and this is what i do almost every summer…visiting a new place or preferably a new island!

Καλο καλοκαιρι,

Enjoy summer!

APERANTO GALAZIO ORNOS MYCONOS     

Is one of my places I use to go , swim, have coffee or snack, and enjoy myself gazing the azure color of the Ornos beach!

The hospitality of the owners of APERANTO GALAZIO is memorable….

A few quotations  copied and pasted from wikipedia:

In Greek mythology, Mykonos was named after its first ruler, Mykons,^{[citation needed]} the son or grandson of the god Apollo and a local hero. The island is also said to have been the location of a great battle between Zeus and Titans and where Hercules killed the invincible giants having lured them from the protection of Mount Olympus. It is even said that the large rocks all over the island are the petrified testicles (or, in bowdlerized versions of the myth, the entire corpses) of the giants; this portion of the myth is the source of the slang term “stones” attested in most major European languages.^[10]

Mykonos (/ˈmɪkəˌnɒs/, /ˈmɪkəˌnoʊs/;^[1] Greek: Μύκονος [ˈmikonos]) is a Greek island, part of the Cyclades, lying between Tinos, Syros, Paros and Naxos. The island spans an area of 85.5 square kilometres (33.0 sq mi) and rises to an elevation of 341 metres (1,119 feet) at its highest point. There are 10,134 inhabitants (2011 census), most of whom live in the largest town, Mykonos, which lies on the west coast. The town is also known as Chora (i.e. the Town in Greek, following the common practice in Greece when the name of the island itself is the same as the name of the principal town).

Mykonos’s nickname is The island of the winds.^[2][3] Tourism is a major industry and Mykonos is well known for its vibrant nightlife and for being a gay-friendly destination with many establishments catering for the LGBT community

I visit Mykonos since 1996 ….until now …..without interval!!! ETERNAL LOVE!!!

Σαν του κεριού το Άγιο Φώς
τσ΄ Ανάστασης το βράδυ
να ΄ναι η ζωή σου φωτεινή
χωρίς σταλιά σκοτάδι!

Πασχαλινές δέξου ευχές
απ΄ τη καρδιά βγαλμένες
όλες οι μέρες της ζωής
να΄ ναι αναστημένες!

Το Θείο φως της Ανάστασης
να΄ χεις για συντροφιά σου
Κι άγγελοι να ΄ναι δίπλα σου
σ΄ όλα τα βήματά σου

Το Θείο φως της Ανάστασης
να λάμψει στη ζωή σου
Κι όλου του κόσμου οι χαρές
να΄ ναι πάντα μαζί σου

“Tholos” is the new dome-shaped Virtual Reality “Theatre” of Hellenic Cosmos, with a capacity of 130 people. It is a building of exceptional architectural design and with unique technological infrastructure, which hosts the digital collections of the Foundation of the Hellenic World.

“Tholos” resembles a planetarium regarding its natural and morphological characteristics. However, their only common characteristic is the semi-circular shape of the projection surface. The exterior shape of the “Tholos” refers to a whirling celestial body. It a sensation that is rendered through the processing of surfaces and the selection of materials, such as the successive rings that surround the external shell and the special lights that make it stand out during the night. Thus, the “Tholos” becomes a symbol of Hellenism and characterizes Pireos street.

The shows will be interactive, controlled by the spectator, and not static. It is a unique experience of immersion into the virtual world, which is characterized by immediate response, flexibility, originality and liveliness.

We would like to inform our non-greek speaking visitors that our Virtual Reality shows are narrated in Greek.
English narration (and possibly other languages) is available by appointment only. Please check availability before you visit the museum.
