About me

Aegean Notebooks is my personal blog. It was born out of my love for Greece and three years of living on the island of Corfu, where the sea meets the sky every day, and time flows completely differently.

By my first education and many years of professional life, I am a lawyer. My reality was structured by clear boundaries, schedules, responsibilities, and decisions. Travel in those years remained a quiet inner dream—a space to which I mentally returned when I craved light, air, and pause.

When I retired, I allowed myself for the first time to take a step toward what had always resonated within me. I went to where the sea meets the sky.

That's how Corfu came into my life.

Living among olive groves, small coves, and the soft hues of the sea gradually changed my perception of the world. I began to notice not events, but states. Not routes, but rhythm. Not the quantity of what I saw, but how it felt inside.

One day, while walking along the coast, I saw a sand lily—a delicate white flower blooming right in the hot sand under the blazing sun. Fragile and yet surprisingly resilient.

That moment became a symbol for me: even in difficult conditions, you can blossom, preserving your inner light and quiet strength.

Aegean Notebooks is my way of preserving beauty in a reality where it's often lacking. It's a journal of impressions, details, and feminine states that help me live and regenerate.

Here I share:

personal essays about Greece,

itineraries through the islands and the mainland,

tested hotels and villas,

restoration rituals, and the aesthetics of places where you can slow down.
