Agios Nikolaos

The view from the back of the boat down D pontoon looking towards town.

View from the side of the boat looking across to the mountains

A beautiful day for a walk with Klaus and Angelika, our next door neighbours. We walked out of Plaka near Elounda and up to the windmills. Had lunch sheltering from the wind, at this lovely little church in the middle of nowhere. The rather strange photo is because there is a wind turbine directly behind the church!

The view looking north from the church

Saturday rambling group - a lovely way to see the interior of the island

Part way round Dave joined David to do some sketching then drove down and met us at the finish. David, Dave and I have joined the art group led by Alan who is amazing at sketching and water colours - a real inspiration!
This is what they were sketching - the very old windmills - there was actually a row of 5 of them

Fantastic panorama from the windmills looking across the plateau covered in olive trees. Sadly the weather has caused a big problem this year and there is a serious shortage of olives.
