Víz világa

Budapest is united, not split, by the Danube. City life spins around this river that originates in the German Black Forest, passes through Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade before filling up the Black sea in Romania.

More and less organized party life happens every day on the Danube

Thermal baths aside the Danube share the water world (Víz világa) philosophy of the city.

Long barges from and to Germany constantly pass beneath the city’s bridges carrying coal, wood pellet and gas.

Public and private life flows with the Danube

Fekete-Duna

The Danube might have many colors, but blue is not the most common one. A constant, wide and powerful presence through the city of Budapest, the Danube calls for a (touristic) romantic-candle-light-dinner-cruise. Only then, the Fekete-Duna (black-Danube) shows its shiny face.

Danube East side gets very lively in the evening. Several boats turn into clubs with loud commercial music for the joy of the international tourists, who live Budapest mostly by night.

A romantic-candle-light-dinner-cruise on the Danube will be bring you North and South of the city center, up to the Margaret Island and down to the Petőfi Bridge

In between, river views on several bridges of Budapest are offered: here below is Margaret Bridge, which connects to Margaret island.

Another view on Margaret Bridge, with the Hungarian Parliament in the background.

And finally, Elisabeth (Princess Sissi) bridge. Sissi was Empress of Austria and wife of Emperor Franz Joseph I. History flows with the Danube under the bridges of Budapest.

Leaving the harbour of Piraeus early morning. Everybody’s full of hope for the approaching destinations Stand up padding between Orkos beach and Parthenos island. The chapel on the islet is dedicated to the Holy Mary, that is why the name “parthenos”, “generated without sex”. The same root name for the Parthenon Temple, dedicated to Athena, a goddess “generated without sex” from the head of Zeus.

COLORS, FREE TIME, WATER

Blue & white

Blue and white are the colors of the Greek flag. Blue and white like sky and clouds, sea and sea foam. But also like blue doors and Greek white houses. This picture was shot in the old town of Naxos

While mooring, ferries revert engines to open the cargo bay towards the shore. Our shades are projected on the sea foam.

Daily signs of a very good restaurant where to enjoy nightlife in Naxos Chora.

The gigantic Greek flag on the acropolis of Athens. Some say the stripes represent the 9 Muses, some other say it means for “Freedom or death”, celebrating the defeat of the Ottoman Empire.
