SmugMug > today's keyword > coast > naxos island: several courageous swimmers are tempted year to swim across the bay to the little church, and, more often than not, have to be rescued by the coast guards because of the strong currents they hadn't expected when they set off. the distance is further than it seems: the little island lies about 5 km outwards.
SmugMug > today's keyword > coast > countryside, near heraklion: old stone houses are still found in most villages. this is a house on the arólithos museum site, where houses for holidays are rented to those who'd like to know what life was like 100 years ago. advantage: the view goes unperturbed by electricity lines, which are virtually everywhere in greece.

SmugMug > today's keyword > coast > near tris ekklesíes / crete: almost the rim of the world. no cell phone here, no solid road. another 12 km to the next village, which lies in the shadow of the cliffs
SmugMug > today's keyword > coast > a typical greek kafenión - meeting point mostly for men, where politics are discussed and backgammon plays a leading role

decoration in churches may not always be typically christian, and often features dragons of some sort. still, the classic icons play a strong role in orthodox belief, and are the most important part of church decoration.
SmugMug > today's keyword > coast > naxos is an island of lush green mountains. ideal for hiking, calm and blissful, once one's stepped out of chorá, the main town.
SmugMug > today's keyword > coast > In the mediterranean autumn, everything turns barren and dry, after usually long arid summers. Nevertheless, on some islands, sources help maintaining a constant water level, while on others with no proper sources, everything falls dry.
