Aegean Sea--A Pure Paradise for Romance

原文: 爱琴海一个纯净的浪漫天堂

  海是湛蓝的、天是湛蓝的,连远方岛屿上民居的门窗也漆成一色的湛蓝,令人有一种说不出的心神荡漾的感受,这就是被诗人荷马形容成“醇厚的酒的颜色”的爱琴海。

  曾对自己说:一定要去爱琴海看一看那里的海和蓝天。

  爱琴海是一片充满浪漫气息的海,位于土耳其西部、希腊东部,与地中海相连。碧蓝的海水拍打着长长的海岸线,沿线有牧歌式的渔村、橄榄树园。当飞机还在爱琴海的万里晴空中飞行,俯瞰着那些卧在碧海中的希腊诸岛,我已经爱上这里。

  如果蓝与白是天堂的颜色,那么爱琴海就是一个纯净的人间天堂。一切并不刻意,蜿蜒街道上的白色栏杆,依山傍海高低错落的白色房屋,蓝色屋顶上纯白的十字架,蓝色窗户中偶尔露出一角的白色窗纱……当目光触及到这种极致的蓝、纯粹的白,聆听远处飘来的几缕希腊音乐,总会涌起一种莫名的感动,整个心灵仿佛亦变得如蓝天般澄明空灵。

  爱琴海的魅力不仅在于水,还有那些充满神话和文化色彩的岛屿。断了臂依然风姿绰约的维纳斯,引发特洛伊战争却仍被千古惊羡的海伦……每一个都是爱琴海岛屿上诞生的尤物。行走在这样的海岛上,回味已经远去的美丽故事,编织自己的浪漫情怀,心,已被迷人的蓝色梦幻包围着,软化着……

  漫步于爱琴海的岛屿,也许所有的人都和我一样,希望时间就这样停下,而今天是永远的一天。

    爱琴海的凄美传说

  很久很久以前,克里特岛上米诺斯国王的一个儿子在雅典被杀害了,暴怒的国王向雅典兴师问罪,强迫雅典国王签订了一项条约:雅典每隔七年要供奉七对童男、童女给克里特国王米诺斯的儿子—牛首人身的怪物米诺牛享用。雅典惧怕克里特的强大,按时纳贡,民不聊生。雅典血气方刚、忧国忧民的王子提修斯为拯救自己的子民,自荐前去供奉怪物。王子行前与父亲爱琴约定,如能杀掉怪物,归来的船上将悬挂白帆。

  在克里特岛上,英俊年少的雅典王子受到了米诺斯王的女儿的倾爱,她帮助提修斯王子走出迷宫杀死了怪物,并营救出被作为贡品的孩子们逃出克里特岛。在归途中,神谕指示王子必须放弃他的爱情,否则将会受到神的惩罚。王子只好将美丽的公主留在荒凉的孤岛上,悲痛地离去。沉浸在痛苦之中的王子忘记了与父亲的约定,船只悬挂着黑帆一路驶回。当伫立岸边望眼欲穿的雅典国王看到远方飘近的黑帆,无法接受失去爱子的现实,纵身投入了大海。后来,人们为了纪念这位爱子情深的国王,便将这片海域称为“爱琴海”。

  小贴士

  最佳旅游季节

  爱琴海是典型的地中海气候,四季分明,1月最冷,7月、8月最热,4月到10月是旅游的黄金季节。

  必备物品

  墨镜是必需品,颜色以茶色、绿色、带UV保护的最好;另外防晒品与晒后修护面贴或抗氧化多重修护面贴,能派上大用场。

  带瓶地道的橄榄油回家

  从守护神雅典娜的赠予开始,橄榄油──这份珍贵礼物即与希腊结下不解之缘,成了当地人基本的生活必需品,从日常食用到清洁、保养等,都与橄榄油有关。来到爱琴海绝不可错过品尝地中海美食的机会,地中海美食强调原味口感,以橄榄油为底的作菜手法享有盛名,特别推荐海鲜蔬菜沙拉,不油不腻又十分符合养生之道。

译文: Aegean Sea--A Pure Paradise for Romance

  25.jpg

The sea is brilliant blue, so is the sky; even the doors and windows of the residences on the island far away are painted into the same blue, bringing people a sudden enlightenment and joy. This, is Aegean Sea, which is described by Homer as “the color of full-bodied wine”.

I once told myself, “I shall go to Aegean Sea to appreciate the sea and sky there.”

Aegean Sea is full of the atmosphere of romantic, located to the west of Turkey and the east of Greece, connecting with the Mediterranean Sea. Along the long coast line flapped by the blue seawater lies the pastoral fishing villages and olive gardens. I fell for there, when I first took plane flying over the cloudless sky of Aegean Sea, overlooking the Greek islands in the blue sea.

If blue and white represent the color of paradise, Aegean Sea is a pure paradise on earth. All the white is so natural, both the balustrades on serpentine streets and the houses, tall and low, near mountains and sea; both the Latin Cross on blue roofs and the window screening casually revealed by blue windows. When you are caught by this kind of perfect blue and pure white, and hear the Greek music from far away, you will be touched for unknown reasons, and your heart will become as clear as the blue sky.

Aegean Sea is charming not only for the water, but also for its islands colored by myths and culture. Venus, who maintains graceful in spite of no arms, Helen, who causes the Trojan War but still leaves the generations followed shocked for her beauty, and others, are all the stunners created on the islands in Aegean Sea. When you stroll around on the islands like these, reminiscing the beautiful stories left behind, waving your own romantic dreams, your heart has already been touched and overwhelmed by the charming blue illusion.

Taking a walk on the islands of Aegean Sea, every one may cherish the same hope as mine that time no longer go by and today maintain forever.

The Tragically Beautiful Myth of Aegean Sea

Once upon a time, there lived a son of King Minos of Crete (an island in Aegean Sea), and was killed in Athens. The rageful king sent a punitive expedition against Athens, compelling King Aegeus to sign a treaty that they would consecrate seven pairs of virgin boys and girls every seven years to Minotaur--king of Crete’s son, a hobgoblin with a head of ox and the body of human being. Athens had to pay the tribute in fear of the power of Crete, leaving its citizens suffering a lot. Theseus, the young prince of Athens, worried so much about his country and citizens, to save which, he sacrificed himself to the hobgoblin. Before setting off, the prince promised his father that if he killed Minotaur, white sails would be hung on his boat when he came back.

On Crete Island, King Minos’ daughter fell in love with the young handsome Athenian prince, and helped Prince Theseus going out of the maze, killing Minotaur and rescuing the children sent as tribute. On the Prince’s way back, the Oracle ordered him to give up his love or he would be punished by the God. The Prince had no choice but to leave the Princess on a desolate island and sadly go back alone. In great grief, the Prince forgot his promise to his father and went back with black sails on his boat. When the King standing on the sea shore with eager expectancy saw the boat with black sails floating near, he could not accept the fact that he lost his beloved son, and jumped into the sea in despair. To memory the King loving his son so much, people call this sea area as Aegean Sea.

Tips:

The Best Season for Travel

Aegean Sea belongs to typical Mediterranean climate with four common seasons that January is the coldest in a year and July and August is the hottest. It is the golden season for travel during April and October.

Things Must Be Taken

Sunglasses are necessary, and brown or green ones, or those protected by UV are the best; besides, sunscreen products, soothing after-sun mask or antioxidant day care mask will be very useful.

Bring Home a Bottle of Local Olive Oil

Since olive oil was firstly bestowed by Athena, it has been attached to Greece, becoming a necessity of life for local people that everything, from daily cooking to cleaning and maintaining, has something to do with it. When you come to Aegean Sea, the Mediterranean food is a must-try. The delicious food in Mediterranean area emphasizes on original taste. The cooking methods based on olive oil enjoy great reputation. I specially recommend salad of sea food and vegetables that it is neither oily nor greasy, in accordance with the way of preserving health.
