A Beautiful Day For Adventure In Greece. Limni Vouliagmenis.
Today is a day for adventure. I decide bike to the lake and explore ancient temples, 17.5k one way., 10 km up and then 7.5 km down.......So I decide to start my journey with a cappuccino, since I must pass by Perla and they make such tasty cappuccino.
Going up! I love riding along this highway, the view is extraordinary!
Made it to the top! Now we go down.....
Destination is in sight, the lake off in the distance.
Beautiful, definitely a must visit.
An ancient fountain. It's incredible to see and feel.
I discovered this beautiful cave home behind the fountain.
I found the ancient temples!!! Stunning!
Ancient Cistern
I didn't bring enough water, luckily I found some at the church!
The lighthouse marking the end of the path.
Homeward bound, now the race to get home before sunset, 7.5 km up and 10 km down!
Home!!!

I'd like to comment a bit on the small "ikonostasi" .
( It's the small metal box with the cross on top)
"ikonostasi" means, in verbum pro verbo translation, an icon-stand. In Orthodox churches, it consists of a wall of Icons that separates the main body of the church from the sanctuary. In this case though we have a small one, outside of a church, that may or may not have an Icon in it!
In Greece and Cyprus, you can find this kind of small Icon-stands in the most strange of locations. On beaches, on mountains, on small windy country roads and on the side of busy highways. In some cases, they mark the place where an actual Icon, or some other holy relic, was found, but the majority of them (my apologies if this is becoming a bit macabre for the serenity of your actual post) were raised by the families of accident victims, as a sort of a shrine for their lost beloved people.
I wonder what sort of story lies behind that small Iconostasi near the lake! Is it a tragic one or one of a relic discovery?
Beautiful share. Yes, I wonder......
