June 5, 2016 by Lisa Samloglou

αρχαία πατήματα, μονοπάτια, Αμοργός, Μάιος 2015 © Το blog urban travel tales από το Μάιο 2012 που ξεκίνησε στοχεύει να υπενθυμίζει τον πλούτο της Πολιτιστικής Κληρονομιάς και την ανάγκη άμεσης δραστηριοποίησης για τη προστασία του περιβάλλοντος. Έχει βραβευτεί 3 φορές από ομάδες bloggers. Τα κείμενα που αναρτώνται είναι πρωτοεμφανιζόμενα κείμενα μου, αποτέλεσμα ενδελεχούς έρευνας, επιμέλειας και προσωπικής εμπειρίας.
