I'm not about to mention the breathtaking seaviews that make you feel like flying nor the impeccable curvaceous interiors with the numerous arches and the sleek built in furniture but I am going to speak about the amazing cave pool of <a href="http://sophiasuites-santorini.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sophia Suites</a> in Santorini. Oh geez, I would really like to know how it feels to swim in an indoor pool, tucked inside the stiff santorinian cliffs, lit with dozens of fairy lights. I'm sure it feels like paradise. Or else, please let me know if there is a prettier, more romantic honeymoon suite pool anywhere else in the world. For that matter, check out the photos of the pool plus the rest of the hotel after the jump.</div>

Santorini is actually famous for its jaw dropping sea views from the scenic hotels and small villas hung from its stiff cliffs around the caldera. Today I'm sharing with you yet another hotel I would mostly love to spend a few zen hours in one of its terraces.<i> I'm sure you would too ;)</i></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">what</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A line of the most acknowledged and award winning <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=r7pGRG5GDNg&subid=&offerid=238161.1&type=10&tmpid=8480&RD_PARM1=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.tablethotels.com%252FHotel-Katikies%252FSantorini-Hotels-Greek-Islands-Greece%252F3620" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">boutique luxury hotels</a> in Santorini, consisting of villas, suites and spas on the most beautiful spots of the island.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">where</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Hotel Katikies is located in Oia, <a href="http://www.grecianparadise.com/search/label/Santorini" target="_blank">Santorini</a>, <a href="http://www.grecianparadise.com/search/label/Aegean%20Islands" target="_blank">Aegean sea</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">why</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Weddings, honeymoons and romantic getaways are definitely a big pro of the hotel due to the serene scenery, the relaxing atmosphere and the breathtaking views of the Caldera Volcanic islands scattered around the deep blue archipelago. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">highlights</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spending a few days in a phantasmagorical environment of blue and white and in a vibrant example of the typical cycladic architecture sounds ideal all by itself. I'd love to visit the spa of sister <i>Kirini Suites</i> and indulge into some revitalising treatments or swim inside the turquoise cave pool.<br>

Pure, clear and simple; the neverending blue of the sea and the sky, defined by the white human creations, feels like velvet under the bright sparkling sun.<br />

Recently, I had the chance to visit the summer house of a dearest friend of mine and take a few shots of its incredible outdoors. The house is located on a hill near Heraklion, within a short distance from the sea, and with a jaw dropping view to the northern cretan archipelago that extends far to the city of Heraklion (<i>see last picture for that</i>). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The architecture of the building is typical mediterranean, with bare stone walls, wooden pergolas, arched porches and clay bricks. My bad, I didn't take pictures from the whole house but I took plenty from the garden and the view (<i>yes!</i>). The garden is created and taken good care of by its owners and is crammed with bold colored bougainvilleas, geraniums, lavender, aloe vera, lemon and olive trees and so many other plants I don't really know their names, all in hand picked beautiful terra cotta planters. You can only imagine how great it is to spend the summer days in this place, enjoy the cool sea breeze and the soul soothing view day after day!</div>

Santorini is not only famous for its curvy white alleys and the breathtaking sunsets but for its petite bookshop as well. Named by Guardian as one of top 10 bookshops worldwide, this project was merely the child of greeks but of a group of international friends who fell in love with the island but disliked the fact that they just couldn't get their hands on a new book while being there. <a href="http://www.atlantisbooks.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Atlantis Books</a> is a vibrant little space that adds a happy, sophisticated <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/atlantisbooks/pool/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">note</a> to an already poetic island.

This Sunday we went trekking to a pretty little gorge in the heart of Rethymno in Crete. <a href="https://maps.google.gr/maps?q=patsos+gorge+animals&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.50500085,d.ZWU,pv.xjs.s.en_US.ciY8R2R6XC8.O&biw=1432&bih=809&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=el&sa=N&tab=wl&authuser=0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Patsos Gorge</a> or the <i>gorge of St. Antonios</i>, named after a small chapel laying on its entrance (<i>see photos below</i>), is a considerably short gorge of approx. 5 km but with a unique natural beauty and richness. Despite its short length it is inhabited by more or less 24 species of animals (<i>11 of them are protected</i>), 16 species of birds (<i>8 of them protected</i>) and 80 species of plants and caves to its extent.</div>

A considerably young and small villa with the perfect homey feeling to host your carefree summer island vacations. Located on a hill on the northern part of <a href="http://www.visitlesvos.gr/en/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lesvos</a> island, it is surrounded by natural wildlife and enjoys a direct access and view to the close-by sea.</div>

The design work of <a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/Cook-Book-2/4503939" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Manos Daskalakis </a>for the 4th anniversary issue of <a href="http://www.thecookbook.gr/default.asp?catid=28274" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ethnos Cook Book</a> magazine is one of the finest graphic design projects I've come across lately. I'm fascinated by the use of tiles in typical greek blue and white shades as a background and the collection of fonts and graphics that have a vintage 50ies feeling. Check out Manos' <a href="http://thats-my-type.tumblr.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tumblr</a> page; it is equally impressive.</div>

<a href="https://maps.google.gr/maps?q=komos+beach&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=el&sa=N&tab=wl&authuser=0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Komos beach</a> is located in southern Crete and is a good 2km long one. I admit it is one of my favorite one day <a href="http://www.myparadissi.com/2012/06/naturally-living.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">excursions</a> as it is only about an hour or so from where I live. The waters are crystal clear and the numerous <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamarix" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">salt cedar</a> trees along its golden coastline make a welcoming hideout from the harsh summer sunrays. Like (<i>literally</i>) any place in Greece, the beach of Komos is considered a place with great archaeological interest, as there have been found remnants of the Minoan era, like large storage pots dating back to 1800 b.c.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Two more facts about this beach:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*Its sandy shore is sheltering the endangered species of <i>Kareta-Kareta</i> turtles, quite a thrilling and touching fact to know and pay extra attention while staying there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*The beach is also famous to be one of the largest beaches for <i>nudists</i> on the island.</div>

An impressive dwelling, one of the few to survive the massive earthquake of 1956, brought to life by Rena and Takis Adamidis almost 40 years ago.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spend your holiday in a typical cycladic building, with cave rooms built literally on and in the island cliffs. The eco-friendly and smart technological approach of the structure is equally impressive with the design and makes the stay a comfortable and relaxing experience.</div>

No need to mention the incredible views to the Aegean archipelago (<i>see for yourself at the photos below</i>) and the amazing terraces. More than that I'd love to visit <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=r7pGRG5GDNg&subid=&offerid=425354.1&type=10&tmpid=19560&RD_PARM1=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mrandmrssmith.com%2Fluxury-hotels%2Fkapari-natural-resort" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kapari Resort</a> to sleep peacefully inside the serenity of its sleek cave rooms.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Technically, this recipe is not a greek one but comes from the ottomanic cuisine and our neighbouring Turkey (<i>read more information about baklava <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baklava" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a></i>). People use to make it so often here that I firmly believe it is a part of our culture as well. We actually cooked one yesterday with my mom and I'd like to share with you our own take on this amazing sweet recipe. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">ingredients</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>for the baklava</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
450 gr. phyllo dough (1 package)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
500 gr. walnuts, coarsely chopped</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
500 gr. butter</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 tbsp ground cinnamon</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 tbsp ground cloves</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1/2 cup sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1/3 cup bread crumbs</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>for the syrup</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 cup sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1/2 cup honey</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 cup water</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 cinnamon stick</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 tbsp lemon juice</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">steps</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1</span> Grease a pan and set the oven to 160<span style="font-size: x-small;">o</span>C</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2</span> Mix the chopped walnuts with the sugar, the bread crumbs and the ground cinnamon and cloves in a bowl. Melt the butter in a pot.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">3</span> Carefully unwrap the phyllo dough and cut each sheet in half so they fit in the pan. Cover them with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">4</span> Place a sheet of phyllo into the pan. Brush the phyllo with the melted butter using a pastry brush. Repeat 5 more times until there are 6 sheets layered. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">5</span> Sprinkle a thin layer of the nuts mixture on top. Cover with two more sheets of phyllo, brushing each one with butter. Continue adding the nuts and phyllo in turns. The top layer should be at least 6 sheets thick, each one buttered thoroughly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">6 </span>Cut into equally small diamond pieces with a sharp knife. Bake in preheated oven for about 1 1/2 hours, until the phyllo turns a rich golden hue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">7</span> Prepare the syrup while the baklava is in the oven. Boil sugar and water until sugar is melted. Add the honey, the cinnamon stick and the lemon juice and simmer for about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly until the baklava is ready.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">8</span> Remove the baklava from the oven and immediately spoon the syrup over it. Let it cool uncovered.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">notes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* instead of walnuts, you can use almonds, pistachios or a combination of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* baklava is often served with vanilla ice cream.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Καλή όρεξη!</div>
