kokkari III 2012, a photo from Samos, North Aegean

Photographer's Note

Kokkari village at Samos island

Kokkari is on the northen part of the island, ten kilometres distant from the main town. It is located in an area with an abundance of pine and olive trees and vineyards. The name of the village is derived from the large quantities of onions which its fields once produced. Nestling between two small protective headlands that capture the gaze. The most tourist - friendly and picturesque village on Samos. The people are simple, kind and welcoming. There is adudan foliage. The sea is crystal clear. Popular with surfers, because the wind is good. There you can find as well a school for wind surfing. There are several small bars and cafes on the beach at Kokkari, which operate from the morning hours, in order to lift your spirits. Wonderful taverns and fantastic clubs make Kokkari the most lively and happening place on the island. It is probably the outstanding scenery and the good beaches for water sports which attract a large proportion of the visitors to Samos to Kokari.

Hello Costantino.
Very nice picture of this corner of the island, I love the POV made with these beautiful plants and flowers in the foreground, which give a remarkable perspective on the image with the horizon line in the distance and the promontory on the right.
The place is quiet, peaceful and ideal for relaxing.
Magnificent bright and colorful.
Have a nice week.

Hi Costantino,

beautiful calm picture, with nice flowers in front and a bit bluerred view on the sea. There is nostalgy in this shot. is it because the beautiful summer goes to the end?

Warm regrads

Hello Constantino,
Great seascape photo. An excellent use of colors and superb light. The deep depth of field is excellent. The marvelous color mixture and the green & yellow plants in the FG also lends a lovely contrast to the scene. Very well done!!!
