The beautiful little town of Beauly in the Highlands of Scotland is a popular place to stop off for those visiting Inverness or the surrounding area. The Beauly Priory hotel and restaurant is good for food too!! There are a lot of walks and wildlife nearby if you're in the area a bit longer. 😀

The Radiant Charisma

Once upon a time in the picturesque village of Kleinhausen, where Mr. Wolfgang owned a charming and equally peculiar little house. Proudly perched in front of the house stood a garden gnome, armed with a mischievous grin and an oversized spade, adorning the front yard. Yet, the most striking element of the scene was undoubtedly the nuclear power plant that unexpectedly found its place next to the gnome. Well, that's what you might call "radiant diversity."

On a sunny day, something occurred in the peaceful Kleinhausen that sent the villagers into a whirlwind of excitement. Mr. Wolfgang's tomatoes suddenly grew to the sky, as splendid as the giants from fairy tales. Even the celery turned into a wonder of the vegetable world, leaving the village community in awe. Especially Mrs. Wolfgang's wife in her third marriage, the good Anette, was beside herself with joy. As someone who knew as much about cesium and plutonium as a gnome knew about rocket science, she celebrated the splendid harvest with ecstatic delight. Even poor Peer, the family dog, could barely withstand the vegetable growth and disappeared momentarily within the tomato mountains.

But even more astonishing events were in store: One day, the long-awaited addition to the family arrived – little Wolfgang Junior entered the world. Yet, it was as if the newcomer had claimed the generosity of nature all for himself. Young Wolfgang sported three ears on either side, a mushroom adorned his little head, he seemed to have a penchant for surplus toes, and his hands were equipped with an excess of fingers. Some could swear they heard piano notes coming from his nursery – or was it just happenstance that the melody of "Für Elise" echoed through the room?

Despite the concerning surplus of body parts and the unexpected musical performances, Wolfgang Junior grew up, embraced his existence, and wholeheartedly assumed the title of "Human Bedside Lamp Replacement" in his bedroom. While the son radiated light at night, the parents enjoyed their "Saver" tariff on the electricity bill.

As the boy matured, the number of pimples on his face matched that of his fingers. The quest for love proved challenging for him until he crossed paths with the equally radiant Amalia, blessed with a hint of Chernobyl charm. Together, they radiated towards the harbor of matrimony – a radiant couple, one could say.

The love between Wolfgang Junior and Amalia blossomed, and the pair found joy in their extraordinary togetherness. Even the count of their body parts couldn't deter their affection – they were unique, fitting together like two puzzle pieces from a peculiar dimension.

And so, the story of Mr. Wolfgang, his radiant little house, the splendid tomatoes, and the extraordinary family came to an end. Kleinhausen might have been slightly different from other villages, but that's what made it all the more endearing. Because, at the end of the day, the tale revealed that true beauty and charisma can reside in the extraordinary – even if there's a bit more than just a "three, two, one" of it.

Αρχάνες Ηρακλείου,Κρήτη

Οι όμορφες και αυθεντικές Αρχάνες είναι χτισμένες στα 400 μέτρα υψόμετρο και αποτελούν έναν παραδοσιακό οικισμό που μοιάζει με πολύχρωμο ψηφιδωτό. Αποτέλεσμα της πλούσιας τέχνης του νησιού που έχει αφήσει το αποτύπωμά της σε τέτοια χωριά. Αυτή η πολύχρωμη κωμόπολη βρίσκεται στο βορειοανατολικό άκρο της κοιλάδας του Γιούχτα,16 μόλις χιλιόμετρα από το Ηράκλειο.

Περπατώντας στο χωριό συναντάς ουσιαστικά ένα παζ�� από καλαίσθητα και περιποιημένα σπίτια και πολλές ιστορικές γωνιές. Όπως για παράδειγμα, το μουσείο στο οποίο θα βρεις πολλά ευρήματα των Μινωικών – Βυζαντινών χρόνων αλλά και σπουδαία εκθέματα λαογραφικής τέχνης, κτισμάτων εξαιρετικής αρχιτεκτονικής και βυζαντινών εκκλησιών.

Και μάλλον αυτός ο συνδυασμός είναι που κάνει τις Αρχάνες τόσο διάσημες και αγαπητές. Το γεγονός ότι αυτό το ελληνικό χωριό να συνδυάσει τον σύγχρονο τρόπο ζωής με την παράδοση. Με έναν τέτοιο τρόπο που δεν έχει χάσει την πολιτιστική του ταυτότητα και τον χαρακτήρα του. Από τα πέτρινα καλντερίμια και τα προσεγμένα σπίτια, μέχρι τις γάργαρες πηγές και τους ελαιώνες γύρω από το χωριό. Από τις γευστικές παραδοσιακές συνταγές και το ντόπιο κρασί μέχρι τις μαντινάδες και τα έθιμά του, αυτό το χωριό σου κλέβει την καρδιά για πάντα…

Στις Αρχάνες ανακαλύφθηκε ένα από τα αρχαιότερα πατητήρια στον κόσμο! Εκεί λοιπόν θα δοκιμάσεις ένα από τα πιο εκλεκτά (και φυσικά βραβευμένα) κρασιά της Ελλάδας. Και σε κάθε γουλιά θα ευχαριστείς την τύχη που σε οδήγησε σε αυτή την ξεχωριστή γωνιά της Ελλάδας.
