Photo presentation: "Samos, May & June 2014"

Samian Dreamscapes: "Samos, May & June 2014". A selection of more than 250 photos that I took during the months of May and June 2014 on the beautiful and green island of Samos in Greece. Mostly of places that are not visited by mainstream tourism on Samos.

Since the whole presentation is over 34 minutes long, I divided it into two parts!

Part 1 (15 min):



Part 2 (19 min):



Don't expect Samos island to be this green - and full of blooming flowers - in hot summer and autumn! Areas full of yellow blooming broom can be seen best in May till beginning of June.

The music accompanying this presentation I recorded "live" on Samos. Music is performed by local musicians:
- Giamaioi Sygrotima / ΓΙΑΜΑΙΟΙ ΣΥΓΚΡΟΤΗΜΑ during a concert in the school yard in Vathy end of May (Vasilis Sarandou on violin on that day!).
- Yannis Loulourgas together with Georgios Markou in "Notos" in Pythagorion in June 2014.

Yannis Loulourgas & Georgios Markou - O Kaixis / Gel Gel Kaixis (The boatman)
Yannis Loulourgas & Georgios Markou - Άλλος για Χίο τράβηξε (Allos gia Xio travikse)

Samian dreamscapes / dreamscapes on Samos, part 2

15 minutes long, here is the second part of "samian dreamscapes", a small series of videos about the natural beauty of the manyfold landscapes on this water-rich greek east aegean island.


This time I included longer sequences showing material I recorded in the valleys of the brooks Potami and Imvrassos.


And, like shown at the end of the video, don't forget to visit one or more of the festivals in Summer, or one of the many panigiria taking place in the villages all over Samos.

Most of the video material was recorded during springtime on Samos. (months of May and June, 2010 and 2011). In May 2011, the island was especially green, nature was very late then, three weeks behind "schedule", due to low temperatures in April.
