Dear you,

I’m on the top of south middle Santorini, a fairly small lovely village called Pyrgos. This white village is built on a steep hill, with all the houses and churches cuddled together, hardly to find where you’re heading, like a maze, and funny is I do enjoy my ‘lost’ in this maze. With the rings from church bells and donkey in the air, ‘ding ding, dong.’ the sounds with the water running from some household, just like some nice relaxing music.

Unlike other villages or town, it’s so quiet here, and most of the time, I was absolutely alone, with the blue sky, white houses and indescribable mood. An old lady walked out the rusted door and smiled to me, she greeted to me in Greek, like from hundred years ago. Somehow I feel lost, in the space, also in the time.

The top of Pyrgos is a ruined castle, a grand church and a cosy café. After a bit adventure, I sit on the highest part of the ruin; it’s a bit chilly, but with super good view. From here, you almost could see the whole island, bathing in the sunset, so calm and peaceful. Like a Goddess looking from heaven to the human world.

Several kittens came to me earlier, just by the café. Greek kittens are really cute, with their special relaxing and lazy way, they weren’t afraid of me; they came to me, asked for comfort, played hide and seek between my legs and skirt. They also played with my little teddy bear, kept accompany with me in this sunny afternoon, far away from home, and you.


It is a right choice to bring (novel from Japanese writer Murakami,村上春樹) with me. Not only because those main characters were in a small Greek island, also much similar thinking with mine during this trip. The pursuance of life meanings, basic desires, the loneliness due to no one could really reach oneself and alone with the deep blue ocean and sky, away from busy crowded city. It’s somewhere out of our ordinary life so that we could see more ourselves, discover the true feelings hiding in the city jungle.


Many Greek men asked me out or have a drink in the villa where I stay. But I wouldn’t let those aggressive strangers come to my place, even they are very friendly and treat me free wine or Ouzo. One Greek guy said to me:’ You’re… couldn’t say funny, rather cute, in your own way, charming.’ I didn’t reply, but I did appreciate his conclusion to me in such a short time.
Yes, that’s me, in front of you, or being alone, just like a little girl with clear conscience. A true me.


The swimming pool in Villa Manos is beautiful, so I spend quite a lot of time there, get tanned, read the book, and have a splash once in a while.
I wish you were here with me, in every breath taking moment,
very much.
