I have not been to the Mediterranean, but hope to visit one day in person; my “visits” so far are limited to virtual travel.

I was traveling alone & ended up there by accident, I was mesmerized by the beauty surrounding me, & the atmosphere. I was planning on going up for the weekend, but ended up staying for 3 weeks. I met many European friends during my stay, & had the time of my life. At that time it was a sleepy little fishing village during the winter, but during the summer it was transformed into an Oasis from a different time. I often think back of the sweet memories of my stay and how often I think of what it would be like today, &what an impression it has made on me. It was pure heaven on earth with its charm ansimplicity. I often have the desire to go back & see what it’s like today. I know of the many places I have seen, through the the years, I have never been anywhere that could compare to Esstarda.
