It's Sunday night to me. The time to tell about a beautiful Sunday and at the same time sublime. Sublime if anything comes out of patterns, if something unexpected happens. I understand that it is OK to tell stories happening a week ago so I will write about last Sunday on the island of Thassos in Greece.
All the days in Thassos were wonderful, but that Sunday ... It started very normally with the breakfast prepared by the patrons of the small hotel where I lived.
A Greek coffee, not too strong and then going for a walk.It was not an ordinary walk. Our hosts have recommended us to visit an old traditional village, Kastro, at the top of the mountains.
After half an hour we reached the village. On the way I made a lot of photos, I met a few goats ... very photogenic. When I arrived in the village I also made a lot of happy pictures that I will have what to show from this walk.
Here comes the sublime side, I know it does not match the term, sublime in an unpleasant way for me ... actually the camera was defective, actually the memory card, the result being that I have no photos.
So, to illustrate the story, I will appeal to my wife's photos. That means I will appear in some photos and apologize for that.
Kastro
Kastro is the oldest settlement on the island and is located at an altitude of 500m. In the village there is the church of Saint Athanasios wich was built in 15th century. Kastro was designated as a historic monument in 1880. The Church is in the photo above.
All the houses in the village, the old ones and the new ones are built only from stone. Let me show you some.
Although all the houses were very cared for, my impression was that they were not inhabited...
The old church was locked, I could not enter, but the feminine curiosity is great.
Surrounding the landscape is special and spectacular.
Of course, any such trip ends at the tavern. Each village has its tavern.
I ate something but coffee didn't inspire confidence. We decided to go down to the seaside where we know a place with very good coffee.
The Coffee
When you see fresh roasted coffee, appetite increases. Although it is a small, unsolicited shop, the proprietor prepares a very tasty and strong coffee.
After coffee we are rejuvenated and ready for more ride. We want to catch the sunset on the seashore.
It was a long day, beautiful and tiring. We are hungry. Hunger makes me stop seeing well. Everything is like a fog. I have to get to the tavern as soon as possible.
We eat every night at the same tavern. Old and rustic, with tables on the street. With the best Greek food. With the most amazing patrons. A wonderful atmosphere that I will not forget soon.
We finished eating, we get tired and must go to the hotel to sleep.
Beautiful and sublime Sunday in Greece!
