Neo Horio (town on left) and the White Mountains. Neo Horio means new town. It has 2 churches and a chapel, a school, a grocery store, bakery, restaurant and coffee house.
Olive groves belonging to Neo Horio. Bill and hiked through the village olive groves and orange orchards, photographing wildflowers.
Olive trees. Most of the people living in Neo Horio are farmers. The main crops are olives and oranges.
Orange orchard
Oranges - ripe fruit and blossoms at the same time
Orange blossom. The perfume is heavenly, especially in the evening.
The right end of the house. The roof of Rory and Jens' bedroom is the terrace of the house in the street above ours.
Jens and Rory looking out the door of their bedroom.
The lemon tree in our garden. We also had an orange tree, a grape vine over the terrace, and lots of flowers.
The sitting room with fireplace. The doorway leads down to the main bedroom. The cover on our bed was woven by Mrs. Fenareti's grandmother over 100 years ago. We enjoyed having a fire in the fireplace evenings.
The stone sofas in the sitting room were the beds in the original house.
The kitchen with all mod cons.
The church in Stilos, the next town west of Neo Horio. The church in Neo Horio was not as pretty but had several bells which we enjoyed hearing - the ringers sometimes played hymns.
Maheri. We hiked up through the pass and on to Rimni
Rimni and the White Mountains. Along the way, we saw them dumping truck-loads of oranges down the mountainside - they were too big by EG standards. They were navel oranges and could not be used for juice. The whole mountain smelled of orange juice.
Another day we walked to Paidhori. This is a view of the White Mountains along the way. The path was lined with flowers and flowering shrubs.
An old chapel beside the path, miles from a village
Paidhori, which means the children's town. In the background the White Mountains covered with snow.
