Discovering a place is a magical process.
Walking and discovering the scent of a new herb in each step is a wonderful sensation.
Flying above castles and feeling like a hawk traveling in different eras is an invaluable gift.
Piecing all these together into images-symbols is a priceless creation.

Messinia is a land where history presents itself in every corner, where the physiognomy of the landscape startles with its incredible versatility, where the mountains, rivers and trees still conceal the mythical creatures that converse with the inhabitants in a mystical and covert way.
In this album, the photographs of Yannis Yannelos take us on a journey to Messinia, allowing us an in-depth look into this magical place, where the memories of the past are masterfully intertwined with the present, creating the land's special identity.
