For this last set of the pictures I took in Greec, there are a few photos from around the island, when we went on a coach trip. I am not one for sitting around - and Mum, Dad and I like to do a trip, so we can honestly say we have seen something of the place we have stayed. Iknow a lot of people just enjoy a week by the pool - but not me ...


 


This is the runway - and as I'm not happy flying, I was glad I didn't have a window seat when we landed ... Mum did, and thought we had landed in the sea!!

This is near Corfu Town Harbour

This is The Venetian Fort, from the coach - so you can see how it was built as a real place of protection.

North West Coastline.

Paleokastritsa - this is where we stopped for lunch ... and an ice-cream!

Paleokastritsa Monestary - Bell Tower.  All the bell towers are of a similar pattern - with 3 bells to represent the Trinity.

Inside the Church - some of the many paintings/icons.  There is no alter in a Greek Orthodox Church - this is the entrance the Priest uses during the service to get the sacramant.

Really beautiful. Both the area and the buildings. Loved visiting churches when I was overseas. More than visiting museums.

Such a pretty place!

I don't like sitting around a pool either, when I can be sightseeing. I love the historical sites and museums, and even the tourist traps!

Thanks for sharing - your photos and your impressions. Those old churches give a memory of the past that continues to today.
