This is how beautiful Evia looked like before the big fire. In 2011 I spent my holiday there and it was a very special and magical experience. The people were very nice and welcoming, the area was very beautiful and green. I remember how the olive trees grew on the beach, just a few meters apart from the sea.
It hurts me very much, seeing how everything is going up in smoke and how the people are suffering.
Lets pray for all the victims of these catastrophe!
South of Limni & Katounia at the beautiful, very natural Island Euboea (Evia) you can find this almos endless beach.
A nice view over three areas of water at the south-western part of the Peloponnese. First you have Voidokilia beach, a very beautiful, sandy beach with crystal clear water. There behind you see the Gialova Lagoon, natural habitat for a lot of birds and there behind you can see the Ormos Navarinou, the natural port area at Pylos. The town of Pylos is visible too, at the upper right part of the picture!.
Happy 4th of July to USAians. The fog is already covering San Francisco, so I won't be seeing any fireworks tonight. Anyway...
The photo was taken in Limni, Evia, Greece, from a hillside chapel easily reached by driving up. Night version coming next.
Lake Vegoritida (Greek: Λίμνη Βεγορίτιδα, Limni Vegoritida), also known in the past as Lake Ostrovo (Greek: Λίμνη Οστρόβου, Limni Ostrovou), is a large natural lake in western Macedonia, northern Greece. It is situated 6 km northeast of Amyntaio and 18 km west of Edessa, at 540 m elevation. The Voras Mountains lie to the north. It belongs party to the Florina Prefecture and partly to the Pella Prefecture.
An update on the pier, since this photo was taken early 2024, there was a very, very heavy storm in late November with gale force 9 or so. Most timbers were shuttered by the waves. Sadly there are no announced plans to effect repairs.
Rhodes, near the shore of "Limni Fragmatos Gadoura".
Despite its name (rhodius), this is an Anatolian sp, with western populations on Crete, Rhodes and Samos.
For identification, I used the key and description in a revision of Palaearctic Bembecinus by Schmid-Egger:

Thank you for your faves and comments, they are greatly appreciated!

LIMNI - ΛΙΜΝΗ
Limni, on the island of Evia, is a small port, beach and tourist resort, which is beautiful the whole year round. It is located 80 km NW of Chalkida and about 150 km from Athens.
The island of Evia lies along the Eastern coast of Central Greece, and is accessible to the mainland via two bridges, an old wooden bridge and a contemporary suspension bridge. There are also frequent ferries to several parts of the island. It is 175 km long and is the second largest island in Greece, and the third largest in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Η λιμνούλα Γκιτζή στο Μικρό Κεφαλόβρυσο Τρκάλων είναι ένας μικρός και άγνωστος στους πολλούς μεν,αλλά, ιδιαιτέρου φυσικού κάλλους υδροβιότοπος.
Για πολλά χρόνια είχε εγκαταλειφθεί στην τύχη της με αποτέλεσμα ένα οικολογικό έγκλημα:την μετατροπή της σε έναν απέραντο σκουπιδότοπο!!!
«Όμως,το μεράκι, η αγάπη για το χωριό και τον περιβάλλοντα χώρο της πανέμορφης λιμνούλας στο Μικρό Κεφαλόβρυσο Τρικάλων, που τα νερά της αναβρύσουν μέσα από τα σωθικά της, έκαναν μερικούς ανθρώπους να δημιουργήσουν σε πρώτη φάση το Σύλλογο Φίλων της λίμνης «ΓΚΙΤΖΗ».
Αυτοί οι άνθρωποι με πολλές ώρες προσωπικής εθελοντικής εργασίας, κατάφεραν να διαμορφώσουν τον περιβάλλοντα χώρο της λιμνούλας και να δημιουργήσουν ένα μοναδικό στολίδι για την ευρύτερη περιοχή που οι προσδοκίες ξεπερνούν κατά πολύ τα όρια του Νομού Τρικάλων…»

The Gkitzi pond in Small Kefalovrysso Trkalon is a small and unknown to many true, but, natural beautiful wetland.
For many years he had left alone resulting in an ecological crime: its transformation into a vast wasteland !!!
"But, passion, love for the village and the surroundings of the beautiful pond in Small Kefalovrysso Trikala, whose waters gushing through her insides, made some people to create initially the lake Friends Association" GKITZI " .
These people with many hours of personal volunteer work, managed to shape the surrounding pond and create a unique ornament for the region that expectations go far beyond the boundaries of the prefecture of Trikala ... "
Corfu is known to have one of the best beaches in Greece. That is, after Santorini, of course.
