  • Escape to Paradise with Lefkada Chill Videos

    This is my belated video on Lefkada chill, our 2021 trip with my wife in September. Escape with us to the tranquil beauty of Lefkada with our Chill videos.

    Immerse yourself in the stunning scenery of this Greek island and let your worries melt away as you experience the ultimate relaxation. I will feature the beauties we encountered: from crystal-clear waters to breathtaking sunsets. I hope our videos will transport you to a place of peace and serenity.

    Discover the beauty of Lefkada

    Lefkada, if you haven’t heard about it yet, is a hidden gem in the Ionian Sea. And I guess many of you haven’t heard about it. Somehow this place gets shadowed next to Crete, Corfu and Mykonos.

    Anyways, I had very limited knowledge about the island, despite Lefkada is supposed to be known for its stunning beaches, turquoise waters, and lush greenery.

    With its laid-back atmosphere and picturesque villages, I daresay it’s the perfect destination for those seeking a peaceful escape. And the point is the peaceful part. We travelled there in September, which is not the core prime time for the season, yet the airport was still ultra packed.

    And to our surprise, the place was super OK. In these chill videos I tried to capture the essence of this beautiful island, allowing you to experience its beauty from the comfort of your own home.

    So sit back, relax, and let us take you on a journey to paradise.

    Relax with calming music and stunning visuals

    Lefkada chill videos offer the perfect combination of soothing music and breathtaking visuals, designed to help you unwind and de-stress. As well as to discover the place, at least from our angle.

    Explore the island’s beaches, mountains, and villages

    Lefkada is a Greek island, if I haven’t mentioned that. It offers a diverse range of landscapes to explore. From the crystal-clear waters of its beaches to the rugged terrain of its mountains, there’s something for everyone.

    We spent most of our time in the town of Nidri as it seemed to be more quite, yet with a local port as well as mountains close by, offered the widest range of fun.

    And that port really meant snorkelling and travelling to many of the close-by islands, such as Kefalonia or Meganissi.

    Take a stroll through the charming villages and experience the local culture and cuisine. These Lefkada chill videos showcase the island’s natural beauty and will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. So why not take a virtual trip to Lefkada and escape to paradise today?

    Find inspiration for your next vacation

    If you’re looking for a destination that offers both relaxation and adventure, Lefkada is the perfect choice to my point of view. I hope in my Lefkada chill videos I am able to give you a taste of the island’s stunning scenery and diverse landscapes.

    I hope you enjoyed the little tour. Keep in mind that I received no money for writing and preparing these videos. These are my honest videos and review of a great journey.

  • Chill in Zante

    Chill in Zante

    Zante, or more commonly know as Zakynthos is a beautiful Greek island I happen to visit with my wife and friends by the end of 2019. Such a lovely place worth writing about, so let me show you some of my experiences during my visit in this article.

    You can chill there if you know when

    Zante is quite fancy for party fans during the summer, yet when it is over, it becomes peaceful. We visited the island somewhere by the end of October when it was still warm but more quite. Not that we are that old, but at the end if was good to chill a bit. Furthermore the weather is still perfect if you wish to swim or join a ship cruise.

    Zante is the island of turtles

    Not everyone is aware of it but besides chilling here, you may find some turtles. Generally they prefer the southern cost, so it is worth booking the hotel close by if you are interested in them.

    Even though October is not their prime season, still the local guys were able to present us some huge ones. They are lovely animals. I simply loved how peacefully they swam around us enjoying the last bits of summer.

    The sea in Zante

    Well, the sea is quite warm and shallow, so it is safe to swim around. As most of the beaches are sandly, it is a bit more difficult to find as lively water life as it is by Sardinia for example.

    You can find hermit crabs, starfishes and some (mostly white) fishes if you take your time and bring an action camera with you. If you are not into snorkelling, the southern cost is more your place. Local guys are happy to take you to the turtles (for some money), otherwise the sea is safe. It is perfect for long swims and beers afterwards.

    Furthermore you may find little fishes by every shore if you take your time. They are pretty fast swimming around you, looking for some food I guess.

    Navagio

    Navagio is a day long trip to the north worth considering if you are in Zante. This one requires a bit of more money, though we paid like 50€ each off-season. That covered the travel, some lunch and a wonderful day. Not too many people were on the ship that also made us feel comfortable.

    Now Navagio is a ship wreck on the north stuck in a bay during a storm. Most likely they were smugglers and were trying to hide. Despite their best efforts rather being successful, they ended up being well-known. Millions of tourists travel to this bay every year enjoying both the sea in the bay (with white stones and many fishes) and to shoot a selfie with the wreck.

    I even composed a song on my PO-33 KO years later inspired by this bay.

    Goats?

    Yes, even goats to join the party if you are choosing a ship as a place to chill. While the southern cost is full of bays for turtles, travelling to the north you will find mountains. They are just perfect for goats! They enjoy both the sunny and hot climate of Greece along with the salted sea breeze constantly blowing gently on the island. Of course Greek people use them as well – after all feta is the best in Greece right?

    By the way this photo was shot the same they we travelled to Navagio with the ship. As it took several hours, we had the chance to enjoy different sceneries and take dope photos.

    Finally Zante Town

    The capital of Zakynthos. We spent there a day (our last day) as it was away from our place. Our hosts where happy to escort there as well as taking care of our luggage until. Honestly, it worth visiting a day but maybe not for staying too long. The little towns are more friendly and offers a chillful experience. Still let me show you a panorama I shot from the top:

    I hope you enjoyed this little article. It is more about the travel that inspires me making more music than the music itself. Yet, I find it interesting to share the places that influences me.
