Το ξες ότι λατρεύω την επικοινωνία με τους ανθρώπους και την δια βίου μάθηση. Γι αυτό σε παίρνω και σε βγάζω από το σπίτι να πάμε στα Μετέωρα, στο Σέιχ Σου και στον Χορτιάτη για να νιώσεις αυτά για τα οποία διαβάζεις, να ζήσεις αυτά που βλέπεις στην ΤιΒί, να φοβηθείς σε ασφαλές περιβάλλον, ώστε να ξεπεράσεις τους φόβους σου και να εκπλαγείς με τον εαυτό σου. Σε μικρές ομαδούλες για να έχω άμεση επαφή με όλους/ες και γιατί πιστεύω τόσο πολύ στην δύναμη της ομάδας.

Leros = L’eros
// theni.gagalidou // Places I've been No Responses
Τελευταία ημέρα του καλοκαιριού σήμερα, ημερολογιακά τουλάχιστον. Και ευτυχώς αυτό το καλοκαίρι έκανα κάτι για τον εαυτό μου: (ξανα)πήγα Λέρο! Το νησί είναι πολυ απλό, έχει εικόνες που σου γεμίζουν το μάτι και μια αυθεντικότητα που έχει μείνει άθικτη από τον μαζικό τουρισμό. Έχει σεζόν κάνα μήνα και εκείνοι που επιστρέφουν κάθε χρόνο μόνο το καλοκαίρι, οι ντόπιοι τους λένε “μούσμουλα”. -
Κοντεύει Δεκαπενταύγουστος
// theni.gagalidou // Tips for a better travel No Responses
Καλημέρα και καλή Παναγιά! Έτσι λένε πριν τις 15/08 στα νησιά… ☺
Δεκαπενταύγουστος για μένα είναι πανηγύρι ή παρτυ στο νησί (ανάλογα το νησί), τραπέζι με θαλασσινά και γιορτή στην οικογένεια γιατί γιορτάζει η μαμά μου, εγώ και η μισή υφήλιος! (more…)

“Mountza”: the Greek gesture you need to know!
// theni.gagalidou // Tips for a better travel No Responses
“Mountza” is the gesture most used n Greece. Is something like the international middle finger but way softer. Is very easy to do it, you just open wide your hand’s fingers and extend it to someone’s face. You don’t need to touch to others face but the direction must be it. Greeks use it to express 3 different feelings: (more…)

// theni.gagalidou // Tips for a better travel No Responses
Anna is a very friendly Russian woman from San Francisco, California visited Thessaloniki for some personal reasons. She had the privilege to do some day tours, city tours and got to know Northern Greece with us! We had some wonderful walks in the city center and we explored the most interesting suburbs. We also visited mount Olympus, where we met snow of course, because it was January! We were about to visit the Meteora rocks also but the snowstorms of the last days made Anna rescedule it for nextyear! 😀 (more…)

Donalt Burness November 2016
// theni.gagalidou // Tips for a better travel 5 Responses
Donald is a former University Professor who started writting poems after his retirement. He visited Greece to study the language, learn the culture and travel more. His poems are all about his wife and his journeys around the world, so when he visited Greece he got inspired and wrote some more poems. With Dan I made 2 tours and that is because I met him only some days before he leaves Greece to continue his journey. We visited the ancient city of Dion and the Mt. Hortiatis together. (more…)

Anssi & Anne October 2016
// theni.gagalidou // Tips for a better travel No Responses
Annsi and Anne are a young couple and friends from Finnland. They visited Thessaloniki, Greece for their vacation and during their stay we lived a BeenThere experience together in Mt.Hortiatis hiking a bit, collecting chestnuts in the forest, boil them in a fire and making a picnic into nature. This mountain is aproximately 20 Km away from the city center and in October is foul of chestnuts. So we bought some sausages, feta cheese, tomatoes, bread, we took a pot and we started our tour.

// theni.gagalidou // Tips for a better travel 1 Response
Glyka & Fotis are a young couple from Greece that live in Copenhagen, Denmark for many years and often come back for vacations and to see their families. So, during their last visit in Thessaloniki contacted BeenThere.eu to arrange a half-day tour. When l met them, they asked me for a tour that will include “a beach with crystal clear water”, “not far away from Thessaloniki” and “a healthy Greek snack”. Hmmm… lt took me a couple of minutes to think about it and then I had the perfect suggestion for them 🙂 (more…)
