Oinousses (Greek: Οινούσσες, alternative forms: Aignousa (Αιγνούσα) or Egnousa (Εγνούσα)) is a barren cluster of 1 larger and 8 smaller islands some 2 kilometres (1 mile) off the north-east coast of the Greek island of Chios and 8 km (5 miles) west of Turkey. Administratively the islands form a municipality within the Chios regional unit, which is part of the North Aegean region. The principal town of the islands and seat of the municipality is also called Oinousses. Oinousses has a small resident population, living primarily in the islands' town of Oinoússes (pop. 792), and a recently built monastery. The town is centred on a square and a small port; it includes a school, several churches, a Naval high school and a maritime museum. The only other populated settlements are Kástron (pop. 29) and Aspalathrókampos (5).
The vast majority of the workforce of the island is engaged in seafaring, fishing and goat-herding.
The islands are noted as the origin of an unusual cluster of successful ship-owning families: the Lemos, Pateras, Hadjipateras, Kollakis and Lyras families. Whilst most of the families now live elsewhere most of the year, the islands and town are well maintained with a strong naval connection. Oinoussians abroad are noted for their successful entrepreneurial skills in the industrial transportation industry. Although the number of Oinoussian ship operating companies has fallen since their heyday in the 1960s they still maintain a formidable position in the industrial transportation industry.

Ο Μυστράς ήταν Βυζαντινή πολιτεία της Πελοποννήσου και απέχει έξι χιλιόμετρα ΒΔ της Σπάρτης. Σήμερα είναι ερειπωμένος, αν και έχουν αναστηλωθεί ορισμένα κτίσματα, όπως τα παλάτια, και αποτελεί πολύτιμη πηγή για τη γνώση της ιστορίας, της τέχνης και του πολιτισμού των δύο τελευταίων αιώνων του Βυζαντίου. Η ιστορία "της νεκρής πολιτείας" σήμερα του Μυστρά αρχίζει από τα μέσα του 13ου αιώνα, όταν συμπληρώθηκε η κατάκτηση της Πελοποννήσου από τους Φράγκους. Το 1249 ο Γουλιέλμος Β' Βιλλαρδουίνος έκτισε το κάστρο του στην ανατολική πλευρά του Ταϋγέτου, στην κορυφή ενός υψώματος με απότομη και κωνοειδή μορφή, που λεγόταν Μυστράς ή Μυζυθράς λόγω του σχήματός του ή εκ του ονόματος του παλαιότερου ιδιοκτήτη που λεγόταν Μυζηθράς. "Βουνίν εύρε παράξενο, απόκομμα εις όρος. κάστρον εποίκεν αφηρόν, Μυ(ζη...

While I was making this movie, I wanted to show beauty of this place. Breathtaking sunsets, adorable cats and beautiful nature.
Wonderful times :) Song: My Heart Will Go On - Céline Dion
lucid dream
walking in a dark road
followed by an angel
falling from a ba dream
where everything seems real
standing at the crossroads
i’m running out of breath
lost within this underworld
i cannot wake up
i break the mirror
still can see my face
no way to get out of that place
searching a lost key that can take me off this wasteland
the clock is ticking in my head
i beg this shape, give me a break
but i can’t find the path
that’s leading out of my mind
i’ve nowhere to go
but i can fight somehow
free me from my sins
i’m trapped into my dream
with nowhere to go
but i can fight somehow
teach me how
tell me how
i’ll break those walls that stick my mind
hold me now
leave me now
