Hello visitor and welcome to my website,
I am from Athens, Greece.
Although my studies and work are focused in Medicine and surgery , astronomy has been always my second passion.
This site is dedicated to this wonderful place called Drassa. It is a beautiful small village in north-eastern Peloponnese, near Corinth where i pass most of my free time whenever i have the chance and also i shoot 99% of my astrophotos.
On this site you will find a collection of photographs from my astrophotography sessions and some articles regarding my experiences so far in this wonderful hobby.Deep Space photos are mainly made from Drassa and Chios island,while planetary photos are also shot from Rome-Italy.
Drassa is located approximately 25 Km from Corinth and 90Km from Athens. I had the fortune to be able to pass most of my summers and weekends there since i was a little child.
It is a new founded village, i saw it growing during the last 25 years from only a few houses up to almost a 100 at this moment.
Only 3 km from the nearest beach (Almyri) and located in the plains between a few green hills it is a small hidden paradise,immersed in olive trees.Typical Greek panorama.
