Poros photos.
Hnadmade greek dolls and a greek flag display in the Weaver's shop.
She has a loom set up back there and gives lessons if you want to learn.
28th October is a major national holiday. Soon there will be Greek flags flying everywhere, including outside our house.
Kyriakos, Captain of the water taxi Socrates pushes off on his short journey across the strait to the mainland.
1 euro for a 5 minute trip.
A boat leaves from either side every 20 minutes.
They can be hired to dash across if you think you'll miss the hydrofoil to Athens or just have a leisurely cruise around the harbour.
An alley way downtown
A tiny little church hidden away behind the harbour, squeezed in between houses
This church is dedicated to Agios Taxiarchis.
His fiesta is on 8 November along with Archangels Michael and Gabriel.
You can't have too many saints, or national holidays, I say.
ReplyDeleteI see you still have lots of blue sky... sigh...
Lots of saints and holidays from now on. It really is the festive season. But when isn't it?
DeleteThe cute little churches everywhere in Greece fascinated me. Some only big enough for a family. Thanks for posting your photos, it's always interesting seeing how others live.
ReplyDeleteI like these little churches too. So many around here and they're open so I can go inside
DeleteI just love how patriotic Greece appears to be - we need a bit more of that here!
ReplyDeleteHad a chuckle at my mental image of the "express" ferry if you are running a bit late. I could just see the Socrates scooting over the waves and all the passengers hanging on for dear life :))
They love their national holidays. Their children always have parades and heroic poems. And it's an excuse to drink ouzo
DeleteChurches don't need to be huge and filled with grandeur. Often the little ones are just as nice.
ReplyDeleteThese are very popular now for weddings and baptisms.
DeleteWe really must visit your island again and give it a proper 'going over'. There is so much more than the bit the day trippers see along the front of the main town. Now i want to visit your weaver.
ReplyDeleteThe Ergani Weaver I'd on the main drag just behind the harbour. She makes wonderful stuff, all hand made.
DeleteOf course...
DeleteWonderful views.
ReplyDeleteSo much to see here .
