There are 42 km from Limenas to
Limenaria. It was founded at the end of the XIXth. century by the inhabitants
from Kastro, a mountain village above Limenaria. Hills covered by olive trees
are descending to the shores.
Entering the location, when you come
from Potos, you can see a new church, Aghia Metamorfosi. Nearby it is a statue
but no explanation.
A promenade, the beach, some little
streets with souvenir shops and…that’s all. On a hill above the port, you can
see Palataki, an office building which belonged to the German company that exploited
here the at the beginning of the last
century.
La 42 km de Limenas, se afla Limenaria, a
doua asezare ca marime a insulei. Ea a fost construita, la sfarsitul secolului al
XIX-lea, de catre locuitorii din Kastro, un sat de munte de la interior.
Dealuri cu maslini se inalta in spatele
Limenariei, coborand lin spre coasta.
in drum spre Limenaria
La intrarea in localitate, venind dinspre
Potos, se afla Agia Metamorfosi, o biserica mai noua, pe care am gasit-o insa
inchisa. Langa ea o statuie, fara nici o explicatie.
Agia Metamorfosi
O promenada, plaja, cateva stradute cu
magazine cu suveniruri si…cam atat. Pe mal, numeroase taverne stau la
dispozitia amatorilor. Pe un mic deal deasupra portului, atrage atentia
cladirea companiei germane care a exploatat fierul in zona, la inceputul
secolului trecut. Grecii ii spun Palataki.

Gorgeous photos of wjat looks like a fascinating place!
Thank you for the comment, Duncan!
Another lovely series! I like these blue stools in front of the house with blue windows:)
Thanks, Joo! It is a pizzeria there.
I love the old church and the view from those restaurants.
Yes, it's a pleasant place, near the sea.
The sculptures are unique, unfortunatley you may not have been able to take too many shots of the interior of the church !
Very interesting art installation.
I love the al fresco set up of that resto. Very inviting.
What a beautiful view of the first pictures. I can therefore really enjoy it. This small church is a beautiful building and you have even a photo inside. The beach and the terrrasjes are very nice and bright. Also, your photos are very nice and bright Traveling Hawk :-)
Kind regards, Helma
Rizalenio, the second art piece belongs to the Greek artist Costas Lovoulos, and is called "Waiting Peace" I just came home and added the info on the blog. There, in the mountains, were I have been, the internet is awful slow and I couldn't do it.
Thanks for the visit, my friend!
Thank you, Helma! The photo you mentioned is done through a window of the door, because the church was close, like many others.
Fantastic collection of images TH! This is such a beautiful setting, and I love what your eye shows us. Fantastic colors and light... sure makes me want to visit there :^)
May be one day, Doug, who knows?! Thanks for the comment.
The blue stools are really lovely!
I liked them too, VP.
Wong, in Greece (like in my country too, generally in the Balkans) the churches are closed almost all the time, and opened only during the service. This is because some bad people stole even from the church valuable things like icons, silver frames, etc.
Then you have the picture taken as well by the window of the door. compliment :-)
Helma, :)
