Even today, travelers to Greece can still find many hidden treasure destinations which retain their almost unspoiled beauty, such as the island of Trizonia.
As hard to believe as it may be, because Greece has such a long coastline, as well as almost innumerable islands, there still are a wealth of locations which would make one think that these places are off the map.
One such island without a doubt, is Trizonia, located in the Corinthian Gulf just 400 meters (1,312 feet) off the southwestern coast of the region of Fokida.
The island is said to have been named for the sound of its crickets, which you can always hear singing away while you are there.
This is the famed island which, after visiting it in the 1960’s, Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis attempted to buy — lock, stock and barrel — from the local people who lived there by offering them an enormous lump sum of money.
The locals refused, famously saying that this specific paradise was not for sale. Minas, a local restaurateur, shared with the Greek Reporter that occasionally the thought does cross his mind that “it would have been good if Onassis had bought it.”
The islanders’ refusal is what led Onassis later to buy the island of Skorpios in the Ionian Sea, which he made into his own personal Eden.
The island of Trizonia has been called by many a miracle of nature. While staying on the island, which is just 2.4 square kilometers, or barely one square mile, travelers can forget everything from the outside world, including cars, motorbikes, noise — and stress.
Trizonia is also an island garden of sorts, boasting almond, prickly pear, eucalyptus, holly, plum, and olive trees, as well as pine and cedar trees throughout.
The island only has 40-50 residents in the winter. However, Minas maintains that “in the winter it’s a bit difficult, it gets a bit cold, but if you have good company, good wine and good food, everything is fine.”
With a natural, unspoiled landscape that amazes visitors, its lacework of interconnected, continuous beaches, and sapphire waters, Trizonia and its singing crickets beckon to the discerning visitor who needs a break from the modern world.
Edward Blaquiere, a former lieutenant in the Royal Navy and a well known philhellene of his time, visited Trizonia in 1825 and he mentions a ruined village. He also mentions the excellent harbour of the island which is sheltered from all winds. The Greek military leader and politician Andreas Londos came to Trizonia in 1827 with 500 soldiers. In the ensuing battle with the 2000 Ottomans who were there at that time, the Greeks under the guidance of Londos won, causing great damage to the Ottoman army.

Can't wait to see Alabama 3 tonight in Bristol, and this is a favourite of theirs.. This title has little connection with the photo, apart from the oncoming storm, and I needed cover ( a cave in this instance ). There's always somewhere to shelter if you look hard enough.
Where it all started, or where you can find out how it started.
There are stories that should not be forgotten... Well, perhaps we should never forget. From memories, from the past and from our history we learn. Today I begin to record the result of my investigations. A task that has taken me a year, a long year of wandering between the shelves of the Carnelian Archive, where all the Fairlands chronicles are kept. The dust, the smell of leather, paper and history have been my faithful companions in this search, which is now over. It was something personal, yes. It has already been lost in time and in the silence of my relatives over the years, but I needed to know the truth. And the truth, like a polished diamond with countless faces, is not as simple as they imagined. There is no good or bad, but a mixture of the two whose balance maintains the Universe. Anyway, this is not the time to ramble. I think I should pick up the scattered fragments, hinted at in these flickr posts, and tell the whole story, though maybe not the whole truth, who knows....
Can't tell you what kind, however.

Fresh new kicks, and pants
You gotta like that, now you know you wanna dance
So move, outta your seat
And get a fly girl and catch this beat
While it's rolling, hold on
Pump a little bit and let 'em know it's going on
Like that, like that
Cold on a mission so fall them back
Let 'em know, that you're too much
And this is a beat, uh, they can't touch
Can you feel the sky, and let your soul and spirit fly?
Wenn die Sonne auf das Meer trifft... Können Sie das Meer riechen, den Himmel spüren und Ihre Seele und Ihren Geist davonfliegen lassen?
Cuando el sol se encuentra con el mar ... ¿Puedes oler el mar, sentir el cielo y dejar volar tu alma y tu espíritu?
Quand le soleil rencontre la mer... Pouvez-vous sentir la mer, sentir le ciel et laisser votre âme et votre esprit s'envoler?

Junger Höckerschwan / Juvenile mute swan / Cygne muet juvénile
Dieser junge Höckerschwan ist vermutlich in 2022 zur Welt gekommen. Er hatte im Dezember letzten Jahres schon eine stattliche Größe, nur der Schnabel ist noch nicht orange durchgefärbt. Anscheinend war er hungrig, denn er hatte ständig den Kopf unter Wasser und ab und zu kam er mit Wasserpflanzen im Schnabel wieder hoch. Er machte einen sehr entspannten Eindruck.
This young mute swan is believed to have been born in 2022. In December last year it was already quite large, but the beak was not yet completely orange. Apparently he was hungry because his head was constantly under water and every now and then he came back up with water plants in his beak. He seemed very relaxed.
Ce jeune cygne muet serait né en 2022. En décembre de l'année dernière, il était déjà assez gros, mais le bec n'était pas encore complètement orange. Apparemment, il avait faim car sa tête était constamment sous l'eau et de temps en temps il revenait avec des plantes aquatiques dans son bec. Il semblait très détendu.
