Our Family visit at the Lasinthos Eco Park at Lasithi Plateau, Crete
I never thought much of any theme parks that do not feature a roller coaster but a chance visit to Lasinthos Eco Park changed my view.

Birth of PhotoMan at the Himalayas
I often refer to my husband Kosta (Konstantinos Anastasakis) as PhotoMan because I believe even the most ‘regular’ human has Super Power and Super Hero names give me giggles.
