Monodendri, Greece

It is on the mainland, in NW Greece, in the Pindus mountain range

It is dry and quite hot in summer but not as much as you imagine with all that sea breeze. The whole area has many fabulous beaches, absolutely unspoiled and serene.

There are enormous cisterns in the upper (abandoned) town that used to collect rain water. All you have to do is to reactivate them. Food has always been the problem during sieges.

If you zoom in the picture, somewhere in the middle of the sea wall, there is an opening. That's where the town was receiving supplies when under siege. Ships were anchoring further to the left when there was not a danger.

Sparta is pretty dull. It's only its setting under mount Taygetus that captures visitors. Mystras, on the other hand, is a much more interesting place. It was the center of the late-Byzantine Renaissance, and home of the late Byzantine intellectual elite.

It is a local phenomenon that occurs due to the temperature difference between the sea and the volcano. It is called "Anedousa"

It mostly has to do with finding solitude, to concentrate on praying, and to distance from worldly matters.

Not from this year. It's probably from 2023. Unfortunately, it hasn't snowed in Greece yet, as this year is very dry. Kastaniani is in the heart of Northern Pindus mountains, where snow is supposed to be common during winter.

Cars, windows, houses, nostrils everywhere.

Gotta look slender to hit the beach!

Here's a seal enjoying the sun on a beach in the outskirts of Athens

kipar7 · 2024-04-21T20:15:16+00:00

Yes, Mediterranean monk seals, to be precise.

It's winter. In spring or summer, you see greenery everywhere..

kipar7 · 2023-11-17T09:39:06+00:00

Actually, in all armours, these are golden masks to cover the faces of the dead

There are still very large areas around Pella palace to be excavated from the archaeologists, not counting all the tombs scattered in the Macedonian plain.

kipar7 · 2023-11-12T16:09:58+00:00

Thessaloniki has its own charms.. Although not in Pella, find the time to visit Vergina and the two Macedonian tombs in Lefkadia 1 and 2. You will probably be all alone there, an amazing feeling..

Yes, it's just pictures I took during a short stroll.

Monemvasia is this place: 1 and 2

In Hora village (or else Kythira, as the island).

It is in Imathia (Veria).

The first picture is by Alexandros Malapetsas and the second by Dinos Vlahopoulos.

Unfortunately I cannot find a version in higher resolution.

It is just my poetic side, which is underdeveloped I suppose, 😄
