Avlemonas, a fishing village, charms with Cycladic-style houses, tiny gulfs, crystal-clear seas & the 16C Venetian Castle. Kakia Lagada Gorge leads to the ruins of Paleochora, which we sadly didn't visit today. #TravelGreece

On the evening of St Fanourios’ feast, the Orthodox churches filled with prayer and the sweet aroma of fanouropita. The priest blesses each cake, and the faithful share it in honor of the Saint who helps us find what was lost. #Orthodoxy

The air shifts from pine, eukalyptus, thyme, oregano, myrtle, fennel, rosemary & sage in the hills to jasmine, heather, juniper & geranium in garden courtyards. But here & there, the scars of fire reminded us of nature’s fragility.
