Our House

 Our house is a very, very, very fine house....


Our neighbourhood


The wee house from another angle



Swinging the camera to the left...
The flat and fertile valley of Fousa with its  olive groves and vineyards
The sea beyond.  Those hills in the distance are the mainland


Swing the camera to the right and we have a view of Vagiona Bay below us
That's where we go swimming in the summer
The cypress trees show where an old monastery (nunnery) once stood.  There's nothing left now but a few stones and an old well.

The bay below is supposed to have underwater remains from an ancient city but those who live and fish down there say it's an old wives tale. 
Though 5,000 years ago it was a bustling harbour serving the Temple to Poseidon on the hilltop above.
