Praia do Carvoeiro – Faro District

Carvoeiro is a small village in the Algarve region, Portugal. Surrounded by high cliffs the beautiful sandy beach is perfectly sheltered against wind. So this place is popular amongst tourists who want to spend the winter here. But I can imagine that in summer the beach will be full too.

Krifi Ammos at Skiathos

At Skiathos, a very beautiful Island at the Sporades, Greece, you can find a lot of beautiful beaches. But Krifi Ammos, called the “Hidden Beach”, certainly is a special beach. It is a rather small beach in a small bay. And you have to walk a little bit to get there, so it is rather quiet, especially off season.

Gouvernement Maastricht

In this building, functioning as the Province Hall of the Dutch province Limburg) in Maastricht at the Maas reside the Provinciale Staten (parliament of the province Limburg) and the Gedeputeerde Staten (Government of the province Limburg). The chairman is called Gouverneur, but only in the province Limburg. His official title is the King’s Commissioner.

This picture was taken during the blue hour and shows this interesting building with the river Maas in the foreground. The illumination reflects in the Maas beautifully giving some extra colour and light.

Skiathos Town

Skiathos from above. From this place on a hill in the center of the city there is a beautiful view over the capital of the island Skiathos with the same name. This city is full of life, but life is very relaxed. So you can stroll through the city, you can go clubbing or just chill and relax, everything is ok.

Endless beach of Evia (Euboea)

This phenomenal beach is situated on the northern part of the island Euboea, Greece. It is the second largest island of Greece. This beach starts to the south of Limni, goes around Katounia (where you can find a tavern) and stretches out for some kilometers. It is a very nice walk along the beach and as there are almost no tourists, you can enjoy tranquillity anywhere you like.
