Purple

If you like purple it means you are witty, highly creative, eccentric and temperamental.
Purple is also associated with wealth, royalty and authority. 
If you need to calm down, to enhance your spirituality, to be more creative, then surround yourself with purple, for example, with purple flowers (lilac, lavender).
Also, if you want to create an air of luxury, mystery and magic, wear something purple:)

"ΔΟΧΟΣ" / Hotel "DOHOS"

That's the hotel we spent last weekend. Dohos is not so far from the famous Palatamonas town, you need a car to get there. Isolated from urban noise, you're right in the middle of the best Greek traditions: wooden walls, fireplaces, mountain greens and the view of the Aegean Sea, traditional cuisine... I saw pople coming just for a walk and a cup of camomile tea. Dohos is the ideal relaxing place:

 Summer bath))

I know I don't post often. With all the economic war here in Greece I'm confused. But in Dohos they give you so much warmth and support, you just forget about everything bad.
