Anopolis
There are many old and decaying buildings. As the modern world encroached, young people left the villages to seek a different life
The abandoned village of Aradena.
Before this bridge was built the only way out of the village was to walk down into the gorge and up the other side, a long and tiring trek.
Agios Juliana appears deserted but some old houses have been renovated. I spoke to an elderly lady who said she lives in Athens but comes back to the village for the summer.
Excellent pictures, Celia, as always! What a good idea to put your Crete photos and text together in this blog! It allows us to travel through this beautiful island, in the company of two good friends and very dedicated guides! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much Fabio. I am certainly enjoying revisiting our special places in Crete.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Celia, I can imagine the warming sun, while I am still in a heated room :-) It looks so peaceful and quiet. A place to forget about one's daily worries.
