My name in Angelina Helioti. I was born in Sparta and grew up in a town in Laconia, Vlahcioti. My origin is from Arcadia.

In February 2022 I completed my studies at the School of Architecture of the National Technical University of Athens. Since I was a child, Athens fascinated me with its night lights, its historical center and its contrasts. I had been living there for the last years as a studentt. However, in summer of 2021, I realized that a different lifestyle suits me, which the urban environment cannot offer me. The natural landscape, the calm rhythms of life and the fresh air are things I seek.

So I made the wild decision to leave the city and live in a mountainous village in Arcadia, Stemnitsa. The village is built on Mainalo mountain and at a height of 1080m. The scenery here is magical, between mountains, forests and rivers. Finally, I feel closer to anture than ever and I get closer to myself.

Here I deal with small and big things every day. But the most exciting thing is that through the beauty of this place, I find inspiration for all my artistic pursuits, such as photography, painting, writing and jewelry making. In this blog you will find journal articles and photos of my own creation.

I hope you enjoy descriptions and stories about my life here.
