Spiagge da sogno: Carlisle Bay a Barbados

Spiagge da sogno: la iconica baia di Carlisle Bay a Barbados.
L’anno scorso, di questi tempi, ero prossimo a partire per i Caraibi con la nave ed arrivare in questi luoghi da sogno.
Uno dei miei preferiti è senza alcun dubbio l’isola di Barbados con questa bella insenatura chiamata Carlisle Bay con la spiaggia di Bebbles Beach.
Sì, lo ammetto, ho usato la funzione hdr della Gopro che enfatizza molto i colori ma non crediate che la realtà sia molto diversa.
Guardate i video più in basso se non ci credete!

Barbados is one of the Lesser Antilles, located east of the main chain of islands, and the closest nations are Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

La vista sul borgo di Thira nell’isola greca di Santorini.
Ancora una foto dallo mi visita, con la nave, all’isola di Santorini, in Grecia.
Questo è il borgo di Thira e si raggiunge dal mare o con una ripida funivia oppure con una tortuosa strada pedonale famosa per gli asinelli che si possono affittare per la salita.

Spiagge da sogno: Accra Beach a Bridgetown a Barbados

Spiagge da sogno: Accra Beach a Bridgetown a Barbados.
Non riesco ad uscire moltissimo dalla nave ma, quando lo faccio, cerco sempre di andare al mare (essendo ai Caraibi…).
Qualche mese fa sono stato a visitare la bella spiaggia chiamata Accra Beach (o Rockley Beach), a pochi chilometri dal porto di Bridgetown nell’isola di Barbados.
Inutile, credo, spiegarvi molto su questa spiaggia: si capisce tutto delle immagini!

Ed eccovi qualche video registrato nella spiaggia:

Videos recorded with Gopro Hero 10 Black.

Here's where the beach is located:

L’origine del nome “Barbados” è piuttosto controversa. I portoghesi, in rotta per il Brasile o gli spagnoli, furono accreditati come i primi europei a scegliere il nome dell’isola.
Pare che il nome Barbados derivi dal termine portoghese os barbados (i barbuti), dato all’isola nel 1536 dall’esploratore portoghese Pedro A. Campos perché le lunghe radici aeree pendenti degli alberi di fico barbuto (Ficus citrifolia), originario dell’isola, sembravano “barbe”. Il nome che gli indigeni Arawak attribuivano all’isola era Ichirouganaim.

La baia del centro di Mykonos con le case affacciate sul mare

La baia del centro di Mykonos con le case affacciate sul mare.
La piccola baia sulla quale si affaccia il principale centro abitato dell’isola di Mykonos e’ molto carina.
Non e’ una baia balneabile (fatta eccezione per una piccola striscetta di sabbia utilizzata solo da qualche turista che non ha il tempo di muoversi) e racchiude, con il prolungamento artificiale del porticciolo, le poche barchette dei pescatori.
Su questa baia si affacciano tutti i ristorantini e bars che accolgono le migliaia di turisti che in estate arrivano a visitare la famosa isola greca.
