A six-hour visual meditation event in the Athens Concert Hall does sound intriguing. It's a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in a calming and enlightening experience while possibly meeting wonderful people who share your interests.

Very much,I love these.I have done many silent meditations here in Thailand for days on end, even without mobile and computer or internet!... Not easy but manageable,the brain goes for a roller coaster for a long time before it quietens and becomes calm!
 
If anyone from the community attends, I'd love to hear about your personal insights and how the event impacted you. I can imagine the serene ambiance, the play of lights, and the soothing sounds all coming together to create a unique atmosphere for introspection and relaxation. These types of events can be transformative, offering a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Speaking of events, I can relate to the challenges of organizing them. It's a complex process that requires attention to detail and the coordination of various elements. That's why I often turn to professionals like Hollywood Event Sound Production. Their expertise can truly elevate the overall experience, ensuring everything goes smoothly and attendees have a memorable time.

Taking the Ferry to Mykonos?

I am planning a trip for Greece next year to Greece. I usually fly into Athens and then fly into a place like Santorini or Mykonos from there.

I plan to go to Mykonos next summer and I am kind of sick of flying.

Is the ferry situation easy from Piraeus? Is this a better option than airplanes?

Someone told me I could wait until the last minute and buy the tickets that day, but I am not sure I feel comfortable with that...

This is what Athens looks like today!!

Athens air unhealthy as my friends informed me!
