Magic ways...
The Lake Plastiras area is known for its spectacular natural beauty.
It was created by the waters of the Megdova river, tributary of Acheloos, and took its name from Nikolao Plastira. General Nikolaos Plastiras inspired this ambitious project in 1925. Standing at the edge of the river, where lies today the sluice of Megdoba River (Tauropos), he envisioned this area as a huge artificial lake. In 1959, six years after his death, his vision of a beautiful lake came to life, providing with water the thirsty villages of Karditsa and offering electricity of some hundred million kilowatt-hours.
It is an exception to the rule that human intervention in nature, usually pictures traumatic alterations and concrete monsters. The construction not only affects negatively the natural environment, but also helped and enforced its development.
Covering an area of about 24km2, it is surrounded by natural beauty, beaches, restaurants, hotels and many trails within its vast forest.
The region is considered a "paradise" for the nature-worshippers and offers alternative style of vacation. Here you can walk, drive or bike along fir, oak and chestnut trees down shady lanes with openings to views of immense height and the vast plains below. Fishing, sailing, Kayaking, river rafting, hiking, horseback riding, mountain climbing, cross country skiing and jeep tours are only a few of the ways you can enjoy the natural beauty of this area.
Limni (lake) Plastira is the embellishment of the Karditsa prefecture. It is located 340 km far from Athens and 230km from Thessaloniki.

A different story...
This time we change a subject and we write a interesting story from Argentina.
Leandro Vesco, a very active Argentinian real estate agent and novelistwrote a novel about the water springs of Carhue village in Argentina. The writer wrote only the begining....the end was written by the village residents.
Everything started five years ago, when Leandro Vesco visited the Carhue village for the first time. The village is located 520km away from Buenos Aires and it is familiar for its thermal springs.
Vesco had already written many stories, which he was telling them only in artistic haunts, and none of them had ever been published. At the end of his stay in Carhue, he contrives a myth about a mysterious water spring of Soda. The water causes amnesia to whoever drinks it and starts the wrtiting of a novel. The characters are real residents of that village, but change their name and their job for their protection.
The novel cronicles the history of Carhue springs in our days, in about 500 pages. The story structures around the mysterious Soda's water spring of lake Epecuen, where Juan Calfulcura's army has gone to heal General Levalle. Nevertheless, the writer leaves the story unfinished.
The time that Vesco completes the first part of his book, he uploads some chapters of Facebook, www.facebook.com/novela.carhue. The second part of his book, it will be written by itself.
So, several Carhue residents, who knew them little, brought new ideas for the novel and they bacame more active characters. Wahtever age, the majority of the residents had an active participation in book's writting.
Other residents, used the Facebook page as a notice board, where the posted poems, notes, even researchning points of view about stray animals.
Until today, more than 1.200 people have visited the specific web page. An impressive number considering that only 1.000 residents of the village are connected with Internet.
Let's hope that we will witness something similar regarding Halkidiki and some of its villages!

Elections
Dear All,
After loooong time we are here again and ready to blog! I hope that you had a nice summer, despite that this summer for many reasons was different and unique. Anyway.
I do not know how many of you aware that Greece is running an election period as many other European countries. I will post for you the main political parties by mentioning further that these parliament elections have an urgent profile. Consider that the last elections were 2 years ago. The prime minister Mr. Karamanlis announced that such elections were needed for the reason of the financial problems that the country faces due to the global financial crisis.
The main political parties are:
* New Democracy: The party in the goverment now and its leader is Costas Karamanlis. Their page is: New Democracy (Nea Dimokratia). New Democracy expresses middle-right ideas and has some past roots with the extreme right.
*PA.SO.K: Pasok is quite well known in Europe due to its founder, Andreas Papandreou and his actions over 70s and 80s. The party's web link is: PASOK and their english version is: PASOK. Fairly suprisingly their english page is quite poor and out dated. At this moment PASOK is leading galops before the elections. Today's leader of PASOK, is the son of Andreas Papanderou: George Papandreou. Apparently, Pasok expresses the socialist middle.
* K.K.E: The communist party in Greece. KKE has a long history and for many years till late 70s was illegal. In the last elections was the third party in the parliament and its votes seems to be quite constant. The website of the party is: KKE and is leadered by Aleka Papariga.
* SYRIZA: a coallition of left parties. The main party in this coallition is the party of SYNASPISMOS that means coallition. A party expressing radical socialist opinions and we could say that is the party that the young people vote. Its leadered by Alexis Tsipras, a young politician.
Other two parties, is LAOS leadered by an ex member of the New Democracy. LAOS recently is very popular among the right wing voters and is very likely to be the fourth party in terms of its power in the new parliament. The last party is the Green Party, belonging to the wider movement of Green around Europe.
I forgot to say that the elections are on 4th of October. I know that many of you are not interested about politics but I thought due to the recent financial crisis to be updated about the politics in Greece. In the meantime if you are looking for a house in Greece, please check this website out: Properties in Greece.
