Follow the journey to Thassos which began with chaos but ended with unexpected inner peace. What started as a short escape from the city heat spiralled into something much more magical. Thasos, the closest island to Thessaloniki, was not just a relaxing utopia, but a place where spontaneous memories were made. It was filled with fairy tale like beaches, gorgeous landscapes and adrenaline filled bike rides 🦎🧚✨

☀️ A still summer day. A plastic pool. A boy, motionless in the heat.
This poem captures the weight of a afternoon where even time feels melted.
A quiet ode to heatwaves, fading flowers, and the small resistances we make against the sun.

New post on the Blog, a poem by Xanthippi .

🎨✨ Tania met the wonderful Agapi () at Comic Con Thessaloniki and came back with her heart full of color and inspiration ✨🎨
Agapi’s table was a joyful burst of retro vibes: think Saturday morning cartoons, bright anime-inspired characters, and the warmth of kidlit illustration all in one dreamy world 🌈💫
In this interview, she opens up to Tania about her inspirations, her love for themes like hope and connection, and how her Greek roots sneak into her stories. She also shares how she got started, her con memories and introduces us to her tiny teddy bear assistant, Molly 🧸💼

Δέντρο στο Bar, A hidden bar, slightly out of time, tucked away in the vibrant heart of the city.
Here, flavors and stories are blended with boldness, finesse, and a touch of mystery.
🍸 House-made cocktails with Mediterranean flair
🎶 Curated music selections somewhere between groove and gentleness
🌿 Intimate terrace, dim lights, and a soft, moody atmosphere
A place to escape, reconnect, or simply savour the night differently
