Ο μήνας Οκτώβριος είναι αφιερωμένος σε όλο τον κόσμο, στην πρόληψη και ενημέρωση των γυναικών για τον καρκίνο του μαστού. Εκτιμάται πως κάθε 6 λεπτά μία γυναίκα χάνει τη ζωή της, ενώ κάθε 2,5 λεπτά γίνεται μια νέα διάγνωση. Ωστόσο, οι θεραπευτικές εξελίξεις στον καρκίνο του μαστού έχουν ξεπεράσει τις προσδοκίες και των πιο αισιόδοξων ειδικών. Καλλιτεχνικά και αθλητικά δρώμενα λαμβάνουν χώρα καθ’ όλο τον Οκτώβριο, με σκοπό την ενημέρωση για την πρόληψη και έγκαιρη διάγνωση του καρκίνου του μαστού, την ευαισθητοποίηση της κοινωνίας και τη συγκέντρωση ποσών που διατίθενται στην αντικαρκινική έρευνα και στην υποστήριξη των γυναικών με καρκίνο του μαστού. Η Σχολή Χορού Samos School of Dance, το γυμναστήριο Samos Sport Studio και Ινστιτούτο Αισθητικής Dermaform, οργανώνουν για πρώτη φορά στη Σάμο τη δράση Think Pink, στις 30 Οκτωβρίου στις εγκαταστάσεις του Samos Sport Studio στα Περιβόλια της Πόλης της Σάμου.

Hot Greece and bare aegean islands without any trees? Well, not on Samos island!
You want to find out yourself? Then pay a visit to the incredibly green, shady and cool Potami valley with the Potami brook and several cascades/small waterfalls, not far away from the city of Karlóvasi on the north coast of the island.
Walking on the footpath along the brook gives you almost the feeling like you're walking in some type of dschungle! Whenever I go there, I am always fascinated by the brook running between these strangely formed trees.
Middle of June we made a tour from Pythagorion to the west of Samos island, going down to the coast to visit Varsamos beach. Nobody else but us was there, the tavern seems to be closed.
On the way back, a spontaneous stopover in a small tavern in Kallithea around sunset - to record a song video - developed into a gathering with local people and singing a couple of songs together. Many thanks to the men and women of Kallithea involved in the "party" for the Ouzo and Souma!
I am currently working on the DVD from the drift show at Marathokambos. Here a short trailer, to order the full length DVD, please visit www.stm.gr or call 22730 35260
Siga, siga ....., slowly, slowly ..., take your time! Slowly enter into the amazing sphere and atmosphere of Samos. My 2011 sort of panoramic photo-presentation of the unique east aegean island of Samos is 26 minutes long.
Most of the photos presented I took in the year 2010.
The music accompanying this presentation I recorded in the village of Leka on the evening of July 16th, 2010. Put on your earphones and dive into the panigyri-like atmosphere, captured when one of the best groups of Samos was playing there on the village square during an event organized by the voluntary fire brigade. I had met these musicians before on other occasions, e.g. in August 2008 in Kallithea (panigyri) and Kastaneá (charity event).
Samos is a unique island, this green emerald in the blue aegean sea (greek & green!) is located just a few kilometers away from the coast of Asia Minor. It is loaded with natural beauties and archeological sites and - in contrast to many other greek islands - Samos is gifted with large water reservoirs, partly due to forests and high mountains. In addition, Samos is famous e.g. for its wines and the mathematician/philosopher Pythagoras, who was born on Samos and lived there for many years.
Many different kinds of landscapes can be experienced on this island, e.g. large forests, deep valleys and canyons, herbs with incredible smells, unbelievable fresh and crystal clear water springs, brooks, cascades and even small waterfalls. High mountains reaching up to 1150 meters (Karvounis, Ambelos) and 1443 meters (Vigla, Kerkis). With caves and ancient quarries.
Lots of beautiful beaches all around the island. Mostly with small pebbles, but some of them, especially in the south, are fine sanded, named psili ammos.
And many small villages, not only along the coast line. The more you get away from the coast, the more you will find the natural and rural life on Samos. Don't forget to visit one of the many panigiria during the summer season, the celebrations of the patron saints of the respective churches or chapels. The worldly part of a panigyri will not start before 10 pm, usually on the evening before the celebration day of the church patron saint. Dancing begins about midnight and will last into the early morning hours!
Besides the red, white and rosé Samos wines and the local Ouzo, try the Souma of Samos (in other places in Greece this spirit - containing about 40 % alcohol - is called Tsipouro!)
