Iliada Evangelia Kothra: "The new Greeks are not afraid to be compared to their ancestors.They respect their inheritance, but they live "here and now", with a global open mindness."
BPP: Who are you?
And who you really are?
Iliada Evangelia Kothra: I am someone
who loves its country a lot. I believe in it and i want the bad news and the
misery to come to an end finally. I was born is the Plaka area, in Acropolis, and
i've learned to respect the past.
I really love her big bags and their colours: Penny
Vomva -"Rien"
"Philab" - high quality cosmetics
BPP: If you could say something important to others
who were listening, what would you tell them?
Iliada Evangelia Kothra: Something
important? I would say "keep kalm and be in love". For me its very
basic. Love its not about the other person, but "be in love with your
life, your work, your house, everything".
my favorite artist, Ilia Darling! I love her music
I adore her fresh collections! Maria Pateli
BPP: What is
your true dream, the one that keeps you up at night and if one day it were to
come true you would feel peace and calmness in your heart?
Iliada Evangelia Kothra: My only dream
is that one day i will not see people around me hungry, homeless and un-employed. Being
poor is the root of every evil.
Doukas..my favorite
shoe designer!
Urania Gazelli: the famous "clutch
designer"
BPP: How is life currently for the people in your
country and what would you wish for them and for the planet at large?
Iliada Evangelia Kothra: People in my
country must realise that they have the power in their hands. They can change
their furure, they can make a better world for their children..but first of
all, they must stop believe that someone else is responsible about
them: God, the goverment, laws, etc.. But i guess that every citizen in this
planet, should believe the same.Dont you?
"Onar": the most sophisticated hotel in Andros
island, next to the magical beach of Achla,known for its biological kitchen too
"Royal Blue Resort , Rethymno": great hotel and service
BPP: If you had a chance to be a child again would you
choose the same life?
Iliada Evangelia Kothra: I had a happy
childhood..so...i wouldn't change anything! I had Love..
"Storymood" : art objects, jewels, t-shitrs
Marianna Petridi: Art jewellery
BPP: What was
the exact moment that you realized what you wanted to do with your life? How did you feel at this very moment?
Iliada Evangelia Kothra: I realised that
i had to live a different life after some very bad experiences.that was THE
point for me..I believe now, that we can't see the rainbow, if we can't let rain come into our lives. These moments I felt fragile, but i knew that I had strength inside
me that was well hidden..and..I was right!
"Samiamidi spectrum": one of the most talented
painters in Greece
BPP: Would you like to tell us something we didn’t ask
until now?
Iliada Evangelia Kothra: and for the
end..stay "beautiful people" .for ever!
"Lolita's meze bar" - the funky restaurant..its my
meeting point
Also, I would like to talk about "living-postcards":
"Living
Postcards" is a personal blog about the things I really like in Greece, the
things that I want to share with you.
I
love this country. A lot. And I don’t see it with the eyes of a typical old
fashioned tourist, who bought postcards once from a trip to Greece. Mine are
real. They are breaths, scents, pictures, words, feelings, people. They come
alive every time i look around.
"SeaCrets from Greece": excellent pure products from
Kalamata
"Fisika": natural soap from crete. Pure
beauty
Boutique
hotels that i want to spend time in there. Artists that make me think, smile, reconsider
things, change. Painters, photographers, modern galleries, because "art is
life" and life is art also..
New fashion and jewellery designers that makes us proud here and abroad. They
give a new definition to "chic and greek". Local products, mediterranean
taste, high class restaurants where you can have fun eating, and socializing.
After all "food is pleasure" cosmetics from alternative brands with
quality products, respecting mother nature. Because we all need "pure
beauty".
"DK club" the coolest bar-restaurant in Chania
Crete, designed by Ismini Karali
New mucisians, that make the difference. More than the typical sound of Greece.
"More than bouzouki".
All
these people are the proof that when you really love something, you fight for
it. You cant hold back, you move on, no matter what you ve been told, no matter
all the negative scenarios and tough reality, you have to try and make your
dreams come true.
"Piadon gi": one of the
most beautiful hotels,hidden in the mountains
Christos Chatzivasiliou: the designer of MED, the
biggest underwear-swimwear brand in Greece
The
new Greeks are not afraid to be compared to their ancestors.They respect
their inheritance, but they live "here and now", with a global open
mindness.
"A couple of drops": the extra virgin oil as it should be
my favorite "Greek Food Obsessions" brand: excellent taste and quality
I
am Iliada Evaggelia Kothra, born in Athens, in the divine area of Plaka. I have
studied marketing, advertisement, public relations and acting in Athens. I am
occupied as wholesale manager in the biggest swimwear-underwear company in
Greece, a job i love madly.
Join
me in this trip. Its full of joy and a strong belief for a better tomorrow. I
hope you will enjoy it as i do.
