Can you see the pregnant female lying opposite Koufonissi? |
God has created swimming pools, too... |
...surrounded by caves to protect from the indiscrete eyes! |
Rough are the seas... |
...and thus I let the sailing competition commence! |
If you get stranded on Koufonissi main street... |
...just sit down to have a dish... |
...and locals will warmly greet you... |
...before you decide to bid them farewell! |
On which port did you say you disembark? Aeghiali... |
...or Katapola? |
Leave your bags and go straight away for a swim in Aeghiali beach... |
...leaving the grey-coloured beach of Mouros for another day... |
...because you'll need your snorkeling equipment around this rock... |
...to discover a very interesting seabed. |
In the view of Chora from southeast... |
...and in that from northwest... |
...you will notice the castle standing imposingly. |
So don't hesitate to wander in the narrow streets of Chora... |
...and if you find some doors shut... |
...stop for a coffee rest in the shade... |
...unless you prefer it under the sun... |
...and next to the church... |
...or would you prefer a pastry in the arcade maybe? |
Walk slowly past the Loza... |
...St. George is waiting at the entrtance of the castle... |
...and so has been for centuries long... |
...to view Chora from its staircase... |
...and realise the decay as time passes by... |
...because every entrance still has an exit! |
Churches are built even next to the seashore... |
...the same way as sculptures can be set up for buoys... |
...in case you are so absorbed by this sunset... |
Nikouria on one side... |
...and Aghia Anna on the other... |
...are inviting you to live the experience of... |
...The Big Blue... |
...before you start climbing up Chozoviotissa... |
...and see it come closer... |
...only to wonder how it was built in the eleventh century... |
...and decide to trespass its entrance. |
For the last evening, go uphill to Tholaria... |
...keep this beautiful facade in mind... |
...and the painted terraces, so optimistic... |
...because the sunset will eventually be followed by another day! |
Amorgos will say goodbye with violin and lute... |
...and a glass of Rakomelo, raki with honey for the journey! |
