Have you visited the beautiful springs at Argyroupolis?
Have you ever thought about the long history of the village? In Minoan times - then known as Lappa it was an influential city.
Today ancient lies side by side with modern
Tucked away in the mountains
Old houses built into the hillside
With a great view of the bay of Almyros ( Georgioupolis)
The history continues through the Romans - see where the door opened and closed!
A detail from the mosaic, believed to be the Roman bath
Scattered around the village are reminders of it's history
The entrance to a Venetian house with the words Omnia Mundi Fumus et Umbra "All the world is dust and shadows" There is a story to this - for another time…..
Architectural details in the ruins
And of course the freshwater springs
fish in tanks at the tavernas
Wouldn't like to meet this one on a dark night!
Agia Dynamis "Holy Strength"
And much much more!
