Sezane lovers

Coucou Sezane lovers! I am so very happy to announce my partnership with one of my favourite Parisian brands Sezane! Sezane just launched its new Spring 21 Pre- collection!

With the code “BONJOUROSTERREICH”, deliveries will be free of charge, and a lovely surprise will be slipped into your package (valid for everyone who orders from and to Austria until the 7th of March).

Stay connected with me and my adventures by following me on Instagram!

In case you’d like to book me as your photographer in Vienna, you can find more info here.

Please have a look at my portfolio, if you’d like to know more about my photography work.

If you enjoy my travel stories, tips and photography, you can say Thank you by offering me a ‘virtual’ coffee here.

Dear Sezane lovers, 100% of the sales of the iconic Will Jacket will be donated to Caritas Lerncafés in Vienna (from February 14th until March 7th). It is a special project for children from families at risk of poverty, often with a migrant background. In the learning cafés, these children receive support from volunteers to do their homework and to learn together. In times of lockdown, these children continue to receive support. Either online or on the telephone from the Lerncafé teams!

If the first day of June already finds me on a Greek island, this is a sign that this summer is going to be great”. This was one of the thoughts that crossed my mind upon arrival at the airport of Karpathos island.

Even though I grew up in Greece, I never had the chance to visit Karpathos. With my family and friends, we used to always spend summers in Samos, where my mom has a family house there.

I can’t tell you enough how happy I was, when the official Greek Tourism board invited me to join a group of journalists and gave me this chance to finally visit Karpathos island, take some photos and publish them on The Viennese Girl blog.

Things that I truly loved in Karpathos island during my stay
  • everything about the traditional village Olympos.
  • the restaurant Under the tree in Finiki. The owner cooked for us something I will never ever forget in my life. It was one of the best dishes I have ever eaten: Crab Salad!!! To die for!
  • waking up to the seaview from my hotel room every morning.
  • a little bit of “me time” on the last day and discover the island on my own. I looked for green soaps made of olive oil to buy, treated myself twice with iced coffee latte in a cafe called Anoi all day bar in Pigadia (the town of the island) and ate lots of Yogeat Frozen Yogurt.
