Ancient Cameiros

Today Paul actually had a day off so for the first time since he started work we had a 2 day weekend which was fab! We decided to go and have a look at the west coast of the island and headed to Ancient Cameiros via a scenic route which took us off road accross the centre of the island which was lovely and true to the word, scenic indeed, filled with pine and olive trees all the way.
First stop was Kritinia castle (above), Kritinia clings to the side of Mt Atavyros which is a fantastic sight in its own right.

Some views of and from the castle





from Kritinia we drove to Ancient Cameiros which is now in ruins but still an impressive sight. It would sometimes be better if they labled things better out here so that you new what you were looking at! however som photos of the piazza, founstain square, temple of the gods etc

We then drove back the scenic route again through the mountains but we clearly took a differet track to the first one as we came accross a lovely little church where the boys decided to cool off in the outdoor font/drinking fountain or whatever it was!!!


one of many churches you find about the place

thats nice :-)
