Even if I had already made a post with this same identical outfit here, I wanted to share these pics with you. I am again in the area of Kalogria, 45km from Patras, in previous posts I have focused on the amazing sandy beaches here and in the protected marsh area for bird watching in this one. This time I want to speak about the protected Strofylia forest, that characterizes it, we are talking about 20.000 acres (80kilometers square) of pines, it is one of the largest in the Mediterranean. The forest goes all the way down to the coast and it is the place where the turtles Careta Careta lay the eggs.
Αν και έχω ήδη κάνει ένα post με αυτό το outfit εδώ, ήθελα να μοιραστώ μαζί σας αυτές τις φωτογραφίες. Είμαι και πάλι στην περιοχή της Καλογρίας, 45χλμ από την Πάτρα, σε προηγούμενα post που επικεντρώθηκα στις καταπληκτικές αμμώδεις παραλίες εδώ και στην προστατευόμενη περιοχή των ελών για την παρακολούθηση των πουλιών σε αυτό το post. Αυτή τη φορά θέλω να μιλήσω για το προστατευόμενο δάσος της Στροφυλιάς, το οποίο χαρακτηρίζει την περιοχή, μιλάμε για 20.000 στρέμματα πεύκων, ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα στη Μεσόγειο. Το δάσος φτάνει μέχρι την ακτή και είναι το μέρος όπου οι χελώνες Careta Careta γεννούν τα αυγά τους!

In Patra we have a lot of nice spots, but I have to say that Vrachneika is in my heart. It is an area full of tavernas (typical restaurants) and coffee bar along the beach. It is definitely not the proper place to swim, but it is so special if you want to eat or have a drink. You are sitting exactly next to the sea. It is so relaxing with the small waves and the breeze that comes from the Patra's Gulf.
For the occasion I reused my wedding skirt combined with my brand new and so beloved Furla bag Metropolis Amoris S. I will link the unboxing video at the end of the post. I am obsessed by the small 3D hearts <3 on the mat leather.
A Patrasso abbiamo molti bei posti, ma devo dire che Vrachneika è nel mio cuore. È una zona piena di taverne (ristoranti tipici) e bar nel lungomare. Non è sicuramente il posto giusto per fare il bagno, ma è speciale per mangiare o bere qualcosa! Si è seduti esattamente di fianco al mare. È una zona rilassante con la brezza che viene dal Golfo di Patrasso.
Per l'occasione ho riutilizzato la mia gonna del matrimonio, abbinata alla mia nuovissima e amata borsa Furla, Metropolis Amoris S. Lascerò il link con il video dell'unboxing alla fine del post. Quanto amo i piccoli cuoricini in 3D <3 sulla pelle opaca.
Στην Πάτρα έχουμε πολλά ωραία σημεία, αλλά πρέπει να πω ότι τα Βραχνέικα είναι στην καρδιά μου. Είναι μια περιοχή γεμάτη ταβερνάκια και καφετέριες κατά μήκος της παραλίας. Δεν είναι σίγουρα το κατάλληλο μέρος για να κολυμπήσετε, αλλά είναι τόσο ξεχωριστό αν θέλετε να φάτε ή να πιείτε ένα ποτό. Κάθεστε ακριβώς δίπλα στη θάλασσα!Είναι τόσο χαλαρωτικό με τα μικρά κύματα και το αεράκι που έρχεται από τον πατραϊκό.
Για την περίσταση χρησιμοποίησα την φούστα του γάμου μου σε συνδυασμό με την καινούργια μου και τόσο αγαπημένη τσάντα Furla Metropolis Amoris S.Στο τέλος της σελίδας υπάρχει link με το unboxing της τσάντας. Εχω εμμονή με τις μικρές 3D καρδιές <3 στο ματ δέρμα.


 

Last weekend, I followed again my boyfriend to a sport event: the international competition of archery the T.F.G. Achaia Clauss. If you don't remember, he belongs to a team of photographers that makes sport photography. Last time it was a sail-boats race, the post was this one.
This time I had even more fun, because I had the opportunity to try to shoot: the sound of the arrow that lands is so satisfying! I felt like an viking warrior. It was so interesting to see all the type of arches, from the most high tech, to the really traditional ones. And I was impressed to see so many foreign people taking part in the competition. The event was hosted by Achaia Clauss, that it's an old winery since 1861, as you can imagine the location was absolutely stunning.
Lo scorso fine settimana ho seguito di nuovo il mio fidanzato ad un evento sportivo: una gara internazionale di tiro con l'arco T.F.G. Achaia Clauss. Per chi non lo ricordasse, il mio ragazzo appartiene ad una squadra di fotografi che fa fotografia sportiva. L'ultima volta era stata una regata di barche a vela, con questo post.
Questa volta mi sono divertita ancora di più, perché ho avuto l'opportunità di provare a tirare: il suono della freccia che si conficca è così soddisfacente! Mi sono sentita come una guerriera vichinga. È stato interessantissimo vedere tutti i tipi di archi, dal più tecnologico, a quello più tradizionale. E sono rimasta impressionata nel vedere così tanti stranieri partecipare alla gara. L'evento si è tenuto ad Achaia Clauss una vecchia cantina dal 1861, e come potete immaginare la location era stupenda.

Few weeks ago my boyfriend and I decided to go to a sailboats race here in Patra (Greece). He is a sport photographer as well, so we went to take some pictures for my blog and some for his job, that's why you can spot the logo. The team where he belongs does artistic sport photography, I really enocourage you to have a look to their page: 641six.for.one. The pictures are amazing, even for people that are not so into sports.
That day we were so blessed to have a really nice and warm day, so much, that it wasn't good for the sailors, that have no wind to sail. We waited a couple of hours and then the race: Optimist, Laser 4.7 and Laser RDL started. It had been such a good experience, cause the competitors were kids and teenagers from 7 till 17 years old. It was incredible to see them sailing even so young.
I am so proud of my decision to wear this sweater with the yellow\mustard stripe, cause it makes a really nice contrast with the blue of the sea, plus it is super comfortable. I am obsessed with my last purchases by OVS, I will link the post here, if you don't remember.
Poche settimane fa io e il mio ragazzo abbiamo deciso di andare ad una gara di barche a vela qui a Patrasso (Grecia). Lui si cimenta nella fotografia sportiva, quindi siamo andati per fare delle foto per il mio blog ed altre per il suo lavoro, ecco perché vedrete il logo negli scatti. La squadra a cui appartiene fa fotografia sportiva artistica, vi consiglio davvero di dare un'occhiata alla loro pagina: 641six.for.one. Le immagini sono fantastiche, anche per le persone che non amano particolarmente lo sport.
Quel giorno siamo stati così fortunati da avere una giornata davvero bella e calda, tanto, da non permettere di avere abbastanza vento per salpare. Abbiamo aspettato un paio d'ore e poi, finalmente é cominciata la gara: Optimist, Laser 4.7 e Laser RDL. È stata un'esperienza stupenda, perché i concorrenti erano bambini e ragazzi dai 7 ai 17 anni. È stato incredibile vederli navigare anche così giovani.
Sono così orgogliosa della mia decisione di indossare questo maglione con la striscia gialla, perché creava davvero un bel contrasto con il blu del mare, inoltre è super comoda. Sono ossessionata dai miei ultimi acquisti di OVS, metto qui un link al post, se non vi ricordate.
Πριν από λίγες εβδομάδες το αγόρι μου και εγώ αποφασίσαμε να πάμε σε έναν ιστιοπλοϊκό αγώνα εδώ στην Πάτρα. Είναι αθλητικός φωτογράφος, οπότε πήγαμε να βγάλουμε μερικές φωτογραφίες για το blog μου και μερικές για τη δουλειά του, γι 'αυτό υπάρχει και το λογότυπο. Η ομάδα, στην οποία ανήκει, κάνει καλλιτεχνική αθλητική φωτογραφία, πραγματικά σας ενθαρρύνω να ρίξετε μια ματιά στη σελίδα τους: 641six.for.one. Οι φωτογραφίες είναι εκπληκτικές, ακόμα και για ανθρώπους που δεν ασχολούνται τόσο με τον αθλητισμό.
Την ημέρα εκείνη ήμασταν τόσο τυχεροί που είχε μια πραγματικά ωραία και ζεστή μέρα, τόσο πολύ, που δεν ήταν καλό για τους διαγωνιζομένους να πλεύσουν. Περιμέναμε δυο ώρες για να αρχίσει να φυσάει λίγο ώστε να ξεκινήσει ο αγώνας: Optimist, Laser 4.7 και Laser RDL. Ήταν μια τόσο ωραία  εμπειρία, γιατί οι ανταγωνιστές ήταν παιδιά και έφηβοι από 7 έως 17 ετών. Ήταν απίστευτο να τους βλέπεις να αγωνίζονται ακόμα και τόσο νέοι.
Είμαι τόσο υπερήφανη για την απόφασή μου να φορέσω αυτό το πουλόβερ με την κίτρινη λεπτομέρεια, προκαλώντας μια πολύ ωραία αντίθεση με το γαλάζιο της θάλασσας και είναι εξαιρετικά άνετη. Έχω μια εμμονή με τις τελευταίες αγορές μου από την OVS, θα σας βαλω το link  εδώ, αν δεν θυμάστε.
