In 1993 and 1997 I spent my holidays along Greek islands. The price of everything was still so convenient at that time withour euro and I spent months there enjoying life with my best friends.
The first trip was in several of the Cyclades islands, as geologist I could not miss Santorini isalnd of course. The second trip was in the famous island of Rhodes.
I was a student at University and also a backpacker traveling by ferry boat and spending few bucks per day in a tent camping, and every night was a party.
The Mediterranean Sea and the beaches in Greek islands were absolutely fabulous in as you can see in the photos.
The best part was that each time when we got bored or tired of some Greek island in few hours you we were able to get a ferry boat for a new island and a new adventure. New spot, new town, new life, new adventure, it was an amazing time, I was so young and for sure those summers will never come back.
I was not yet in photography but I did make some good pictures over there, especially I love the photos I shot leaving mainland to Greek islands at sunset.
After the trip and the images of Greek islands on the way back to Italy, I visited also Athens.
I can not say much because I just spent there in the capital of Greece few hours but at least I got my chance to visit the ancient ruins.The old city is nice but the surroundings are definitely horrible and polluted.
Regretfully I have no photos there because my films was already finished and the money not enough to buy a new ones. I had in my pocket just the money to buy the return boat ticket, amazing old days!
