Vistas like these just goes on and on





The area is deserted. The village is down below and even so was empty. There were only a few workers in the hotel. I don't see anyone in the shops. Maybe it was low tourists season and I'm sure the locals visit on weekends. We had the whole hill or mountain or rock to ourselves. It was so incredible. There were ruins all over and the wild flowers just flourish with such abandon. We didn't even have time to recite a prayer, we were in a hurry to take it all in. There was once a remnant of the Byzantine empire living and flourishing here before they had to capitulate to the forces of history and become history themselves.
