I’m not particularly into street art, and this isn’t a good photo of it. But I had to share the story behind this art in Limassol, Cyprus.
⠀
The man depicted is Kyriacos Philippides. He was a well known figure in the city. Firstly as a cordwainer with his own shoe shop, where he handmade shoes well into his 80s.
⠀
When deteriorating sight meant he became unable to make shoes, he decided to make and sell orange juice instead.
⠀
At this very spot on a street called Genethliou Mitella, Mr Philippides sold freshly squeezed juice until his death aged 97. He was so well known in Limassol that following his passing, local artist Leonidas Constantis immortalised Mr Philippides and his orange juice.
⠀
I loved this story and could really imagine Mr Philippides emerging from that archway with a crate of oranges and chatting to passers-by.
⠀
Travel isn’t just about sights. It’s also about the stories.

Crete was our final port of call yesterday. I loved looking around Chania, especially strolling around the beautiful Venetian harbour. It was definitely my kind of place.
⠀
Today has been a day at sea. Tomorrow we return to Cyprus and there’s just enough time for a quick look at Limassol before flying home.
⠀
I feel sad this cruise is almost over, but so grateful travel is back. I think it’s time to book the next trip.

So happy to have experienced Santorini on this trip. Everthing was joy, even the choppy tenders to and from the ship and the shaky, steep cable car ride to Fira.
⠀
Oia is the village everyone wants to see. This means the narrow streets and steep steps can get very busy, so avoid peak tourist season!
⠀
Tomorrow is a day at sea, so there’s time for one last visit to the ship’s gym and plenty of relaxation too. Oh and the pre departure covid test 😬🤞

A few shots from my walk around beautiful Mykonos town this morning, before having a restful afternoon on the ship. Athens tomorrow 🇬🇷

Thought I’d audition to become the new Colossus of Rhodes while I’m here. The judges said ‘don’t give up your day job’. Perhaps it’s a good thing that the ship leaves at 20:30 hours.

Bathurst Basin. This used to be a mill pond that was supplied with water from the Malago river. Then the floating harbour and new cut of the River Avon was created and it became what we know today.

A shot from my first visit to Athens a few years ago. On that trip I saw all of the famous tourist attractions, so wondering where to go when my forthcoming cruise stops here.
⠀
Do you have any recommendations for good photography spots? Or shall I stay on the ship and have a lazy day? ☀️🛳🍹😆
