...seeking experiences...
Have you ever spent Easter at Leonidio with colourful balloons singing Resurrection hymns in the ancient “tsaconic” dialect? Have you ever tried “syglino” and “lalagia” of Laconia or “bouzopoula” of Messinia? Have you ever climbed up to the castle of Geraki to attend a summer concert? Have you gone swimming in Voidokoilia or Simo in September? Have you ever toured a traditional winery or oil press to taste ”agiorgitiko”, “moschophilero”, “malagouzia” and wine or virgin olive oil? Have you ever taken pictures of herons at the marshlands of Moustos or of swanks at the lagoon of Alyki? Have you ever climbed up to the hermitage of Leontic at the Taxiarches Monastery in Aegio? Have you ever taken part in the races at the ancient stadium of Ancient Nemea during the revival of the Nemean Games (second rated event after the Olympic Games)? Have you ever seen Crete from the top of Mt. Taygetus? Have you ever visited the “Kryfo Scholio” (a clandestine school in a monastery that helped the Greeks maintain their language, culture and religion during Turkish domination), the Railroad museum, the vineyard and the maple of Pausanias (Greek traveller and geographer in 2nd century A.D.). Have you ever spent a night at the Centre for Music and Achitecture in the Mediterranean? Have you ever visited the only existing oak-forest in the Balkans and the only existing cedar forest in Europe? Have you seen the pyramids of Peloponnese? Have you ever worked a loom? Have you ever tried lotus fruits (unless your memory is still lost)?
The Green Traveller is a traveller full of respect; a traveller full of interest; a traveller seeking original experiences.
He is green because he respects the environment. When we say environment, we don’t just mean nature. We refer to the total of features that make up the character of an area. Nature, culture, cultural heritage, history, gastronomy, architecture, local products and services. But above all the local people and their way of living. The local people who, through the ages, have crystallized certain views and lifestyles.
Green Traveller has soul. He wants to get acquainted with those people, by living and talking with them; By discovering But mainly, he does not want to change the philosophy of the local people. He does not carry around the whims of the usual tourist, which turn local people into tourist workers.
He is a Traveller and not simply a visitor, a tourist, a curious photographer or a nuisance of a city dweller that expects the comfort of home at a foreign land. He is not looking for luxury vacation, but proceeds up-country to the inland, seeking people, secrets and experiences.
