Monday morning and an early start, catching the 07.15 hours bus from Kamares to the beautiful historic village of Kastro. Featuring medieval fortifications and overlooking the tiny cove of Seralia, with amazing architecture and narrow winding streets, it is a photographer’s dream. Positioned at the top of a hill, the views are spectacular.

After purchasing coffee and pastries for breakfast, made our way down the path to the small Church of the 7 Martyrs. Bearing all the characteristics of Cycladic architecture, with white washed walls and a blue dome, what makes it most memorable is the location. We ate our breakfast, enjoyed the company of a lone moggy at a swimming spot nearby, before heading back up to Kastro for a well deserved homemade lemonade 🍋

Second bus of the day took us to the village of Artemonas. After walking through the maze of little streets, we decided to take on a walk to Panageia Poulati, a small church few people go to see on the east coast, close to the sea. Following asphalt, dirt roads and tricky paths and in intense heat, we made our way down to the church then on to a rocky beach below. By the time we arrived back in Artemonas, the consensus was we had shown true grit and a load of determination, albeit close to showing signs of sunstroke… not an easy trail.

Sat down at Margarita Restaurant and rewarded ourselves with a delicious saláta róka (rocket salad), pantzarosaláta (beetroot salad) and a couple of cold Amstel beers, before catching the last bus back to Kamares.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take my phone charger and by the time we arrived at Panageia Poulati, I had run the battery out. Such a memorable day, most of which I captured in Images.
