Spring wedding in Paleochora

A day out on St Georges Day and a stroke of luck led us to Paleochora with its "Wedding Cake" church



The sea was calm

The weather warm, but with a bite to the breeze


...and there was a midday wedding..

The Bride walking to the church



Followed by traditional musicians


Family and friends


All making their way through the quiet streets...



..to the church for the ceremony


Just by the church was a house with a jumble of colourful flowers in pots



The Cafeterias were quiet


Some closed to allow the proprietors chance to attend the wedding




We wandered over to the beach


Quiet and peaceful before the start of the season









"Chairs to mend.."


We stopped at the taverna Castellos overlooking the sea for lunch

Tuna salad, beetroot, red peppers and dakos - delicious




Knossos style murals on the walls


(and by the way the 'facilities' were modern and excellent)

Then down to the harbour


An interesting statue on the beach



Star gazing..
