Desert City

This city


is so empty


without you.

Cycling around Vlasti

Last year I went for its music festival. This year I went for its natural beauty.


Vlasti is located on the northern side of Mt. Askio (Siniatsiko)


In the heart of Vlasti there is a meadow


that's grazed by horses and sheep.


Yes, horses


and sheep.


Cycling around Vlasti offers the rider, apart from the exercise, some magnificent views.

Neighboring village Sisani


Cycling in altitudes of 1200m. The crisp air offers a unique sense of wellness, which is absent in urban environments.


Cycling around pines


Listening to the sound of the woods


and uncovering the hiding places of turtles.


Mountain bikes


Nature win


Back to the village for some rest


and off again in the following morning


with the grace of some arty-looking Jesus & pals.


St Cosmas and St Chrysostomos


Uphills again


past a WWII mine field(!)


and if you choose wise


you join the orgy of nature!
