"Mediterranean is lingering forever outside that cafe at night for just one more glass of Vino; watching people go about their daily lives with a rare passion; the sun; jumping into the sea and floating, feeling weightless and free; that surreal golden light in the afternoon; saying hello to strangers and seeing their smile; long, late dinners outside; slow days; being barefoot and carefree; taking drives and discovering some small beach or town and having lunch; fresh fish; watching the sun disappear; being lazy and knowing it’s good for your soul; feeling the salty air; listening to foreign languages that sound like music; just feeling more alive and at ease; taking a nap outside mid day. There is nowhere else where life is as sweet and real. For me, Mediterranean life is true and authentic living, and my soul craves it." —Achilleas Petris
