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..
