In ‘Tips, thoughts, recommendations’ category, you’ll find a mix of everything from recipes (all tested in our own kitchen) to tips on what Elias and I think you should see in our magical Mani. There are also some more profound and philosophical thoughts, where Elias and I reflect on Greek customs and culture.

Check also another category that makes me, Elwira, so very happy and proud: ‘Why Mani and the Peloponnese: one story, many voices‘ where we were entrusted to tell others’ stories about why they chose to live partially or to settle permanently in the Peloponnese and in Mani. If you want find a useful information about buying, building or selling a house in the Peloponnese and Greece, check our “Buying, building, renting, selling  category. Want to see posts from all blog categories? Click here!
