Kri Kri buck in Kefalovrisia

On our Samaria tour with Kristin Pedersen we encountered a handsome 4 yearold kri kri buck in Kefalovrisia. We especially noticed his beautifull horns! Thank yu Kristin for the nice pictures! Στη βόλτα μας στα Κεφαλοβρύσια συνταντήσαμε εναν ωραίο τράγο τεσσάρων χρονών. Ιδιαίτερη προσοχή δώσαμε στα όμορφα κέρατα.

In the shadow of the majestic pinetrees. Nothing like a guided tour of the Samaria Gorge by a true local. 

 

Walking up from the turkish castle above Agia Roumeli on an autumn day.

 

It was an autumn day and the Samaria Gorge was closed due to the rain in the previous days. We walked up from the turkish castle above Agia Roumeli. Five condors were cirkeling around in the sky. Then they started flying horizontically left and right breathtakingly close to us. I had never been so close to them before. It was an amazing experience.

In the gorge of Samaria

Hiking through the gorge one gets to experience the mellow and sweet side of the mountain. Rich shadow from the greenery, high peaks as a surrounding and fresh pine tree smell filling the air.

The river of Agia Roumeli

Spring river

At the exit of the Samaria Gorge the river, strong with Spring water, reaches Agia Roumeli.

Visiting Agios Antonios church in Agia Roumeli.

It’s a tiny church in a cave. We visited it yesterday afternoon with Dena and Julianne. St Anthony liked to live in caves.

This is the view from up there:

An oasis!
