Wandering The Narrow Streets of Kardemena

A few snapshots today of Darrell's little meanderings through the narrow streets of Kardamena .........

...... which, although steeped in history, built on the ancient settlement of Alasarna, dating well back in the BC's ..........

 

........ and then later in the AD's as a small, proud, fishing village, before tourism hit ...... 

..... we can't really say it's your typical, quintessentially, quaint Greek town so often featured in travel magazines.

However, it has enough iconic blue and white to tell you exactly where you are and, if they sold fridge magnets, coasters etc. of the street signs, you know we'd buy them by the dozen, as they always make us feel all warm and fuzzy, evoking so many memories of holidays past.

There is also a lovely scattering of our beloved shrines to happen upon and admire in unexpected nooks and crannies, If we were still at Castle Greysquirrel, you bet we'd have one in our garden.

So, all in all, the town has enough quirky bits and pieces ........

....... to stay in our hearts and memories for many years to come ........

...... and who knows, although there are so many other Greek odysseys ahead of us, in which to explore new islands, perhaps, who knows, one day we may return, lured back by Krista's cooking ...........
