Skopelos is the greenest island in Greece. Here, where the green of the pine-trees and the dense forest mix with the deep blue of sea and sky, creating the picture of unrivalled nature beauty, you will find yourself in an idyllic land, in a small paradise in the very heart of Greece.
Because the island of Skopelos is defined by lush green forest and the blue of the sea the International Organization of Biopolitics, on July the 5th 1997, officially proclaimed it "Green and Blue Island". More than 50% of the island area is covered by a virgin forest of pine-trees. A forest which, when you visit Skopelos, will also need your love and care in order to maintain the natural beauty and ecological balance that has survived for nearly 4000 years.
Η Σκόπελος είναι το πιο πράσινο νησί στην Ελλάδα. Εδώ, όπου το πράσινο των πεύκων και των πυκνών δασών σμίγει με το βαθύ γαλάζιο της θάλασσας και του ουρανού δημιουργώντας μία εικόνα απαράμιλλης φυσικής ομορφιάς, θα συναντήσετε τον εαυτό σας σε μια ειδυλιακή γή, σε ένα μικρό παράδεισο στην καρδιά της Ελλάδας.
Το νησί της Σκοπέλου χαρακτηρίζεται απο τα πυκνά δάση και το γαλάζιο της Θάλασσας γι'αυτο και στις 5/7/97 ανακυρήχθηκε επίσημα ώς "πράσινο και γαλάζιο νησί" απο τον διεθνή οργανισμό Βιοπολιτικής. Είναι χαρακτηριστικό οτι το μεγαλύτερο κομμάτι της έκτασης του νησιού καλύπτεται απο παρθένο πευκοδάσος. Ενα δάσος που όταν επισκεφτείτε τη Σκόπελο θα χρειαστεί και τη δική σας αγάπη, φροντίδα και προσοχή για να παραμείνει όπως είναι. Olives and olive oil: Olive oil plays a role in the Skopelos diet, being the basis of all recipes of traditional cuisine. The most prevalent olive is the "Pelion" variety, larger and rounder than the "Kalamata". For eating the olives are cured both in the unripened and the ripened stages. Feta: A semi-soft, crumbly, well-salted white cheese made from goat milk. Used in Skopelos cheese pie and other vegetable pies, added to salads and served with meals. Cheese Pie: Not by definition a real pie, but a tiropita, a deep fried spiral of cheese stuffed phyllo dough. The pie is generally about 15 cm in diameter and 3 cm high. Honey: Honey in Skopelos is mainly pine honey from conifer trees and flower-honey from the nectar of fruit trees and wild flowers. Prunes: Oven or sun dried Blue or Red Plums.
The length of the coastline of Skopelos is 67 km. Due to the island's mountainous terrain most of the coast is inaccessible. The following are beaches accessible by road or trail: Staphylos, Velanio (the unofficial nudism beach), Agnondas, Limnonari, Panormos, Adrines, Milia, Kastani, Elios, Hovolo, Armenopetra, Kalives, Glyfoneri, Glysteri, Perivoliou, Keramoto, Chondrogiorgos.
In island legend Skopelos was founded by Staphylos or Staphylus (Greek for grape), one of the sons of the god Dionysos and the Princess Ariadne of Crete. Historically, in the Late Bronze Age Skopelos, then known as Peparethos (Πεπάρηθος) or Peparethus, was colonised by Cretans who introduced viticulture to the island.
Perhaps because of the legend of its founding by the son of the god of wine, the island was known throughout the ancient Greek cities of the Mediterranean Sea for its wine. The play Philoctetes (first performed at the Festival of Dionysus in 409 BC) by Sophocles includes a wine merchant lost on his way to "Peparethos - rich in grapes and wine".
In 1936 excavations in the area of Staphylos / Velanio uncovered a royal tomb of the era of Mycenaean Greece. The island was briefly under the control of the city-state Chalcis, Euboea since at least the 8th century BC.

Acadian seafood: New Brunswick Travelvideo Postcard by Wendie Hansen
WE were headed to Miscou island on the Acadian coast of New Brunswick ...but the wind had really whipped up and we were starving.
So we hauled Into....Steve's.
Looked just like a Lobster trap hut, just over the Miscou bridge...you might not even notice Steve's if you weren't really hungry...Turns out it was THE best food for miles...dreamed about by fans from all over...and if the ...chowder was ANY indication, they do not dream in vain.
Serendipity!
Then, in the town of Shediac, where lobster is... king. ... the Victorian, Maison Tait...provides a decidedly elegant experience.
Unlike Steve's, Maison Tait has a well established history of fine dining...and I feared at first it might be too 'uppity' for our relaxed mood. But the service was warm and welcoming and Executive Chef Chris MacAdam shapes, New Brunswicks best ingredients into ...WOW !
What taste delights can you discover in New Brunswick, Canada's only officially bi-lingual province?

Hotel Paulin Travelvideo Postcard, by Wendie Hansen
I was so up for our Stay at the Hotel Paulin, in the heart of Caraquet New Brunswick.
It overlooks the Bay de Chaleur And It's been in Gerard Paulin's family for 3 generations.
It exudes history, and the updated rooms still hold that character.
Add to that the local cuisine mastered by partner Karen Mersereau,
And one visit will not be enough.
There's no menu. Whatever the day brings, Karen prepares.
Staff forager, Jean Patenode hunts fresh mushrooms in the forests and sea weed by the bay, and I watched Karen clearly but playfully deal with the local fishmonger when she bought the best cod and crab legs of the day and served them that night with a terrific wines.
Probably the Hotel Paulin (www.hotelpaulin.com) is the perfect place to base a trip to the Acadian Peninsula, and to the sparsely populated Acadian Isles like Miscou Island, about an hour's drive, and the furthest spit of land....for more, watch our other New Brunswick Travelvideo postcards.

New Brunswick Canada, Caraquet: Acadian coast Travelvideo Postcard by Wendie Hansen
New Brunswick is the only officially bi-lingual province in Canada....It wasn't always so, but along the northern coast the British and French heritage now stand in peaceful proximity... At some point, the Maple leaf, bows to the Stella Maris...the flag of Acadia...and if you happen to be in the Caraquet the first two weeks of August put your English aside and just be Acadienne!
But every year in an act of cultural affirmation, the Acadian communities of New Brunswick ( www.tourismnewbrunswick.ca) celebrate who they are and their rich, unique traditions with a massive celebration of song and dance. It's a Canadian Maritime Mardi Gras (Acadian style) in mid-August, with foot stomping music, fantastic masks, poetry readings, parades, and lots of color.
The Festival Acadien ( www.festivalacadien.ca) is Acadian life, culture and pride on display throughout the Acadian Peninsula, the upper coastal reaches of New Brunswick.
You can feel it and see it as soon as you cross into Grande-Anse, a small community on the Chaleur Bay, a three or so hour ride from busy, cosmopolitan Moncton.
The Stella Maris, the flag of the sea. The flag of Acadia.
It's on telephone poles, baby carriages.
It flutters from brightly colored fishing boats bobbing in small, working harbors.
The "Hello's" give way to musical "Bon Jours," and although New Brunswick is the only Maritime province that's officially bilingual (Quebec is officially French), in these towns, French is what travelers hear.
The town of Caraquet has maybe 4,500 people in it. It's tucked into a cove, and like all the towns here, hugs the broad arc of coast that surrounds New Brunswick.
It's the designated center for the Acadian National celebrations.

U watched my Vids right ! U haven't ! OK ! Now's the time to watch, tell me what U think and rate them.
Of course U can Sub GrahamTVdotNet after U watch them. Later Graham
This theory is based on just two simple postulates
1. The first is that the quantum wave particle function explained by Schrödinger's wave equation represents the forward passage of time ∆E ∆t ≥ h/2π or Arrow of Time itself photon by photon
2. The second is that Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆p×≥h/4π that is formed by the wave function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event.
This process of continuous creation or change we see and feel as the flow of time itself and can interact with turning the possible into the actual!
