Aerial visions: I never need inspiration to plan a trip to Greece, but today friends of mine passed along a link to a stunning video that I couldn’t resist sharing. it’s called “Visions of Greece,” and it was posted online by YouTube member Chania Crete. The video is 54 minutes long, so pour yourself a glass of your favourite Greek wine or ouzo, sit back, relax and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself checking airfares to Greece after watching!

New Year, new photostream : Regular readers will recall that my blog posts often included links to online photo albums that I had uploaded to Webshots.com. Unfortunately, the company that owns Webshots decided to close it down last month, so the thousands of photos I had posted there are no longer available for viewing.
I’m pleased to report that I have established a mygreecetravelblog.com photostream on Flickr.com. It’s still in the early stages of development, with just three collections of pictures available for viewing so far (sets of photos from Ios in 2011, and from Paros and Mykonos in 2012). But I will be creating new albums and uploading more photos regularly.
Please bear with me while I gradually rebuild an online photo collection. I had around 20,000 photos of Greece in over 200 different albums on Webshots, and can’t possibly recreate all of those albums because of the amount of time it would take. But you’ll still be able to see plenty of my photos on Flickr — there are already more than 1,700 on my photostream.
