Summertime in Greece

Loutsa, Attica, Greece, 8/7/2005
Loutsa
is a small village on the east coast of Attica, 2km away from the ancient temple of godess Artemida - that's way Artemida is the second name of the place - and 38km away from Athens. In its beach one can find a thousand treasures, not necessarily ancient ones, but those of everyday life: peaceful moments and the definition of beauty...
[...] Behind the large eyes the curved lips the curls
carved in relief on the gold cover of our existence
a dark spot that travels like a fish
in the dawn calm of the sea and you see it:
a void everywhere with us. [...]
"King of Asine", George Seferis (one of Greece's most important men of letters ever, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1963), Assini, summer '38 - Athens, Jan. '40
Chalkutsi, Oropos, St. Apostoloi, Shinias, Nea Makri, Zoumberi, Spata, Rafina (a harbour from where many ships depart to several islands of Agean Sea), Loutsa and Porto Rafti, are to be found in (and consist the) Eastern Attica, which is the east part of the larger perfecture of Athens, capital of Greece.
Spata are known world wide since the Athens International Airport is situated there, after having moved recently from the area of Elliniko.
Rafina is another harbor (the second largest one of the greek capital after Piraeus, first harbor of the country) from where ships take passengers to the islands.
Also Loutsa (Artemida) and Porto Rafti are important and frequently visited places, even from the Athenians who want to have a break from the rythm of greek capital's life, relax in summer houses and take a rest.

Addware is advertising supported software. It is software that can be downloaded free from the web, but contains banner advertisements that create revenue for the company. Instead of you having to pay for the software, the company creates revenue by selling advertising space in the software product. Addware will usually, like Spyware, install components on your computer that will send marketing information whenever you are online and may exchange statistical data with a remote location over the internet. Unlike Spyware, addware contains a disclosure telling you that they will be using your information. Other programs expand beyond this definition by running continuously and by showing advertisements specifically tailored to the web sites that users visit. It is important to read the privacy policy when downloading and installing addware. anti spyware anti addware
