KALIMERA=GOODMORNING

Posted by Dimitrios (ATHENS, Greece) on 10 July 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

It was a custom in all the houses to have a mirror with the word KALIMERA written on it. Some of these have fascinating decorations as you can see. This one is in a summer house in the island of Alonissos that belongs to the SPORADES complex in the middle of the AEGEAN sea. So now you know how to say it in greek!

@Behrooz: Greetings my friend, everything is OK on a personal level, unfortunately in Greece we have some serious fires and our precious woods are destroyed! It seems that we need to do much more in order to protect them, regards D.
