Podcasts about skopelos

My guest this week is the Irish artist and painter Kevin McSherry. Kevin and I met for the first time on the Greek island of Skopelos a couple of years ago during an artist residency. We caught up for an in depth chat about artist residencies, illustration vs fine art, how teaching art informs Kevin's own work, and we even ended up agreeing to start a 30 day sketchbook challenge together.

Kathleen from Plenty of Sunshine Travel met with Fernanda from Star Clippers for this week's cruise chat. . If you found value in this video and wish to help this channel. You can send a donation using this link ~ https://bit.ly/KathleenPenner. Star Clippers is very unique. You will sail like our ancestors did many years ago, letting the wind take you to your destinations. In fact, Star Clippers try their best not to use their engines. They plan the itineraries to go in the direction of the trade winds. The Journeys are created with the wind charts, and the major energy source is wind propulsion—minimal motor emissions, which is safer for the environment. . You can climb the masts and get quite the view from the platform of the sails. Each day, you watch the beautiful sails being raised and go the way of the ocean. Most of the rooms don't have balconies, only on their newest ship are suites with a balcony..Their ships have a deep draft - which means that they sit low in the ocean, and because of this, you will not feel the waves as much as you would on the larger ships. This is an authentic way of sailing ~ It's not your typical way of sailing, and they are near replicas of the clipper ships from the Golden Age of sailing. . I would enjoy laying on the netting at the ship's bow and would love to see the dolphins jumping around us. . Star Clipper has an open bridge policy, which is a ton of fun to pop into the bridge and chat with the captain about the controls and the area around the ship. . There are knot-tying nautical talks where they teach you to tie knots properly and expertly. You can also “Take the Helm” and steer the ship. . Local Entertainment with Nightly Dancing Under the Stars & More! PLUS, you will enjoy complimentary Watersports. You can do snorkelling, kayaking, paddle-boarding, waterskiing, sailing, and more on the Marina Platform. . One guest left a review for Star Clippers - they said: There is truly no experience as thrilling as a clipper ship, the food is awesome, and the staff is fabulous. Sailing is for your heart and Soul. The Star Clippers Fleet Royal Clipper Length 439 feet Draft - 18.4 feet 54,000 square feet of sails. 42 sails, 5 Masts, 227 passengers with 106 Crew. Atria has 114 staterooms, including 3 swimming pools and a B-story interior—a spa & health Club with an observation lounge and a library. The Star Clippers & Star Flyer is very much like sailing on a private yacht. The length is 379 feet, and the draft is 18.4 feet. 36,200 square feet of sails. She can reach speeds of 5-19 knots with 16 sails and 4 masts. 166 guests are onboard, and you will be serviced by 74 crew.

In our inaugural episode of Life and Art from FT Weekend, we go to Athens. The FT's Greece and Cyprus correspondent Eleni Varvitsioti is a lifelong Athenian, and for the past 16 years she has lived in the centre of town, in the shadow of the Acropolis. But as Athens has become more popular with tourists, the centre has become less and less livable. This week, Eleni tells us what exactly is causing the congestion, and what should be done about it. She and Lilah also suggest alternate Greek itineraries, from coastal day trips within an easy drive from Athens, to their favourite islands.-------We love hearing from you. Lilah is on Instagram and X @lilahrap. You can email her at lilah.raptopoulos@ft.com. -------Links: – Eleni's essay on living in Athens' city centre: https://on.ft.com/3QJo373Greece recommendations:– From Athens, Eleni suggests you drive 15km-20km along the coast to around Cape Sounio, where there are beautiful beaches. Visit the Temple of Poseidon and visit a taverna underneath it.– Lilah recommends Thessaloniki, Greece's second-largest city, about 500km north of Athens. There are two perfect restaurants for sit-down gyros and soutzoukakia (Greek meatballs): Diagonios and Diavasi.– Eleni suggests, if you're visiting Thessaloniki, to also visit Vergina, which is the tomb of Philip II of Macedon (Philip the Great).– For islands, Eleni recommends Sifnos. Lilah recommends Skopelos, and the much less discovered southern coast of Crete.– Other recommendations that we didn't have space for in the episode: Eleni suggests taking a drive from Athens down along the coastlines of the Peloponnese, or to visit the northwest of the country, Ioannina, if you like nature and hiking. Lilah recommends climbing Mount Olympus, which is an actual thing you can do (you can take day hikes or stay overnight at the peak), and visiting Meteora, a complex of 14th century monasteries built precipitously on the tops of immense towering rocks.-------Special FT subscription offers for Weekend listeners, from 50% off a digital subscription to a $1/£1/€1 trial, are here: http://ft.com/lifeandart.-------Original music by Metaphor Music.

Join the podcast episode for an in-depth exploration of Dawn French's comedic legacy, seamlessly blending humour with poignant reflections on life's joys and challenges.  From the sun-kissed shores of Skopelos to the heart of Nikos' family-run taverna, you'll be transported to a Greek paradise at Mamma Mia! The Party. As the sun sets, indulge in a delectable four-course Greek feast before surrendering to the infectious beats of an ABBA disco, dancing the night away under the glittering lights. Join family and friends for the ultimate Greek holiday experience that promises to linger in your memory. Tune in to this podcast episode for a journey through contrasting yet equally captivating realms of theatre, where the haunting echoes of Rebecca and the uproarious joy of Dawn French Is A Twat paint a vibrant tapestry of the performing arts.

D: Καλά, σ'ευχαριστώ! / I'm good, thank you! E: Ποιό είναι το αγαπημένο σου μέρος στην Ελλάδα; / Which is your favorite place in Greece? D: Μμμ.. Δύσκολο να διαλέξω αλλά ένα από τα αγαπημένα μου μέρη είναι η Σκόπελος ή αλλιώς Mama Mia island. / hmm… It's so hard to choose but one of my favorite places is Skopelos or else known as Mama Mia island. Ε: Γιατί σου αρέσει τόσο πολύ αυτό το νησί; / Why do you like this island so much? D: Είναι σαν να έριξες ένα πευκοδάσος μέσα στη θάλασσα και οι παραλίες είναι μαγευτικές. Είναι ότι πρέπει για ζευγάρια, οικογένειες ή παρέες φίλων που τους αρέσει η ησυχία αλλά έχει και αρκετή νυχτερινή ζωή. / It's like a pine forest into the sea and the beaches are enchanting. It is perfect for couples, families or groups of friends who like quiet but the island itself has enough nightlife. Ε: Ακούγεται πραγματικά πολύ όμορφο! / It really sounds very beautiful! D: Μπορώ να μιλάω για τη Σκόπελο με τις ώρες! Τέλος πάντων! Εσένα πιο είναι το αγαπημένο σου μέρος; / I can talk about Skopelos for hours! Anyway! What's your favorite place?

Είναι από τα αγαπημένα μου νησιά! Είναι πολύ ήσυχο με υπέροχες παραλίες. Έχει βέβαια και μπαράκια που μπορείς να παρτάρεις αλλά είναι κυρίως για να ηρεμήσεις και να ξεκουραστείς. Όταν πήγα πριν δύο χρόνια, νοικιάσαμε ένα ιστιοπλοϊκό με λίγα άτομα και κάναμε τον γύρο του νησιού. Πήγαμε σε όλες τις διάσημες παραλίες και φαντάζεσαι πόσες φωτογραφίες έβγαλα.Είναι υπέροχα, πρέπει να πας. / Where should I start? It's one of my favorite islands. It's very quiet and has beautiful beaches. It has of course bars where you can party but it's ideal for relaxation. When I went there two years ago, we rented a sailing boat with a few people and we sailed around the island. We visited all the famous beaches and you can't imagine how many pictures I took. It's gorgeous, you must visit. D: Τώρα ξέρω που θα πάω φέτος το καλοκαίρι! /Now I know where to go this summer. Ε: Είμαι σίγουρη ότι θα σου αρέσει πολύ!/ I am sure you will like it D: Πρέπει να φύγω. Χάρηκα πολύ που τα είπαμε! / I have to go now. I am glad we spoke. Ε: Κι εγώ! Καλή σου μέρα. / Me too. Have a good day D: Επίσης! Φιλάκια πολλά / You too. kisses

She's a Hollywood actress, a singer, a hugely successful film producer, and this week we managed to get Rita Wilson to New Cross to join us for lunch.

Girava Skopelosê Beriya 2 hefteyan Mirad û hevala xwe bi hev re çûn betlaneyê. Wan dixwest biçin cihekî nêzî behrê û li wir bikevin avê. Mirad jî, hevala wî jî ji avê gelekî hez dikin. Di destpêkê de wan nedizanî biçin ku lê paşê wan biryar da ku herin giravekê. Li ser internetê lêkolîn kirin, ji hevalên xwe pirsîn û dawiya dawî wan cihek hilbijart. Wan got, em ê herin Skopelosê. Skopelos li Yunanistanê giravek e. Ji bo ku herin Skopelosê, ew pêşî çûn Yunanistanê û ji wir jî bi feribotê çûn giravê. Wan di rêyê de li deryayê temaşe kir, derya çi qas paqij û şîn bû. Kêfa wan gelekî ji şînbûna deryayê re hat û bi kelecanî li hêviya xelasbûna rêyê man. Ji Volosê heta Skopelosê bi ferîbotê nêzî 4 saetan bû. Wan demeke dirêj li deryayê nêrî û di nav xeyalên xwe de wenda bûn. Dema ku gihaştin Skopelosê, hewa gelekî xweş bû. Hêj nebûbû nîvro û piçekî hînik bû. Bêhna ava şor, bêhna deryayê ji her derî dihat, çi qas xweş bû! Ji ber ku Skopelos ne giraveke gelekî mezin bû, wan bi hêsanî otêla xwe dît. Wan nexwestibû li otêleke gelekî mezin bimînin loma wan rezervasyona xwe li otêleke bûtîk çêkiribû. Dema ku Mirad û hevala wî otêla xwe dît, wan ferq kir ku wan biryareke rast dabû. Otêleke sê-qetî, rengê spî, bi balkonên piçûk, gelekî şêrîn xuya dikir. Roja pêşî wan li otêlê û derdora wê bêhna xwe da û ji bo rojên din planên xwe çêkirin. Betlaneyeke dirêj – a long vacation Giraveke dûr - a far away island Rêyeke xweş – a nice path/way Deryayeke paqij û şîn – a clean and blue sea Hewayeke hînik – a cool weather Aveke şor - a salty water Otêleke bûtîk – a boutique hotel Biryareke rast – a right decision Çûn betlaneyê – to go on a vacation Biryar dan – to make a decision Lêkolîn kirin to research Temaşe kirin – to watch Wenda bûn – to get lost Bi hêsanî dîtin – to find easily Bêhna xwe dan – to relax

On this weeks episode, we are back from our mini-trips and are bringing you the best of our London and Skopelos recommendations plus all of our usual T.V and reading recommendations. We discuss living in an age of ‘ish’ whether that be vegetarian-ish, bisexual-ish, freelance-ish, dating-ish.. the list goes on. As a society, are we now more considered in what we pledge allegiance to? Can’t we all just get over box-ticking and categorising each other? We also take a look at the affect of a ‘all work, no sleep’ mentality and what that means for us as millennial women.Our listeners question this week is regarding how to keep a long-distance friendship alive outside the norms of meaningless chit chat.If you have a mate to mate question then please email us:mate.podcast@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram:@mate.podcast Follow us on Twitter:@mate_podcastJoin our Facebook Group:Mate.Podcast------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonnisos und Skyros sind die größten Inseln der nördlichen Sporaden. Ein Segelrevier, welches in den letzten Jahren immer mehr Charterselger anlockt. Was das Revier so interessant macht und warum es sich lohnt, hier einen Törn zu machen, beschreiben wir in dieser Folge.

Islands are all the rage this week... so are fainting ghosts, I mean goats.INTRO: (00:00) The girls are together again, where math skills take a hit and more Rosé leads to memory loss of drinking Rosé. By the way, click on any of these links to see what we are talking about, where we are going, what we are buying - you too can live a 10k life…an imaginary one that is.OBSESSIONS: (5:48) Who isn’t obsessed with binge-watching TV right now? Alison loves a good survival story, so she is watching The Handmaid’s Tale. Conversations in circles and British accents have Lulu into W1A.WISHLIST: (12:38) Alison is dreaming of having wall art.. Lulu wants time travel, or a better iPad case, whichever comes to her first.ALISON’S 10K DAY - NEW SHOREHAM, RI: (16:58) Browsing Airbnb led Alison to discover this unique gem. A trip to Block Island Farmers’ Market for some goods to make breakfast while enjoying the breathtaking views. An incredibly detailed bike tour helps her take in the island's attractions. These attractions and hearing the story of local benefactor Fred Benson make Alison’s trip enjoyable but she’s far from spending 10k. A visit to the Koru Eco Spa is rejuvenating after all of that biking. Dinner at Spain of Narragansett, followed by dessert at Chapel Sweets where proclaiming “I LOVE CHOCOLATE!” gets you a discount. A evening visit to a winery and a night cruise on a luxury yacht still couldn’t get her to 10k, but man what a great trip! LULU’S 10K DAY - SKOPELOS, GREECE: (41:50) Lulu goes all out by staying at the Skopelos Village Hotel, where Meryl Streep stayed while filming Mamma Mia! Lulu shops for a new wardrobe from Net-A-Porter, declaring “I WILL ONLY BRING WHITE THINGS!” and she totally looks the part of the modern Greek goddess. To complete her jet-set vibe, she hires a car and driver, a chef, and rented out a sailboat to explore the coast. The sea urchin ravioli at Agnanti Restaurant is how Lulu capped off her 10k day.

Executive Chef Gus Silivos of Skopelos at New World discusses the inaugural Skopelos Wine Festival.

First Story:  “America is Coming!” by Dario Ciriello “Nice day for the end of the world. Any sign yet?” Salvatore’s voice at his side startled Peppino. A few moments ago his friend had been flat on his back on the scrubby ground with his right hand curled around an empty wine bottle, snoring gently. Peppino shook his head. The two friends watched as the rising sun beat a familiar copper path on the tranquil sea, spilling warmth over the world. Across the gulf, beyond the mountainous headland silhouetted in the rising sun’s glare, the deserted capital of Palermo held its breath and waited for the end of history. America was coming! Dario Ciriello is a professional author and editor whose nonfiction book Aegean Dream, the bittersweet memoir of a year spent on the small Greek island of Skopelos (the actual Mamma Mia! island), was a UK travel bestseller in 2012 and has recently been published in Poland.
