Last week I went with my grandma, aunt, and uncle to Mesohori, a beautiful picturesque village here in Karpathos. We walked around and I took some great pictures to share.
An old fourno where people would bake bread.
A little monastery near the edge of town overlooking the ocean.
This is a picture of the vrisi, where villagers come to visit and fill up jugs to drink fresh water. If only we had this luxury back home in NYC.
I turned a corner and instantly fell in love with this image. The stairs, the door, and the plants aligned oh so perfectly.....
Check out the basil plant, I mean tree, to the left of the door. Is this even possible? This is a cute taverna at the top of the village.
