Greece - Paros

You can't really get enough of Mykonos but we were here to have a look round a couple of the islands. Soooo, let's go to Paros. After all, it's just down the road...

View from the hotel balcony - a cute little boat.
More of that view.
The hotel where we stayed and our personal windmill. If we ever wanted to mill anything, of course.
The old part of town is all dinky lanes much like Chora.
Church of a Hundred Doors - because it really has that many doors. Why not Church of a Couple of Thousand Roof Tiles was not explained.
This was as far as we got trying for a look inside. Inconveniently, someone died and had their funeral just when we wanted to get in. These people really should check in with the tourist board first.
See what I mean about the tiles?
This is an ancient graveyard which has now found itself below sea-level, thus the pumps.
Night over the harbour.
This was a port town we found having hired another bloody 'cute' car - i.e. a heap of crap.
The old harbour defenses.
Some fishermen doing whatever fishermen do with nets.
Just about the prettiest church you'll find anywhere and these are dotted about all over the place.
Looks like an Aussie dropped in and couldn't resist putting up a 'Big Cactus'.
The current heap of crap - as it goes, viewed from a wonderful harbourside cafe wherein spagbol was ordered and avidly consumed.
A marble quarry, apparently containing some of the best marble to be found in the whole of Greece. They use this to make a lot of the ancient statues and buildings and, by the look of it, are still getting rock out.
The quarry is perched on the side of this valley.
There is a medieval fort in the centre of town and, it seems, rather than go running around getting rocks to build it, they just knocked down a handy temple and used that instead.
That's it for Greece. The ferry back to Athens kindly reminded us that not all ships stay on the top of the water - or perhaps it was some sort of troublemaker warning. Anyhoo, cheers.

So, it's goodbye to Greece - and what a lovely place it is. We're officially on our way home now so it's a flight to London for an overnight stay in Paddington to pick the luggage up and then a long-haul out of Heathrow to KL. See ya there.
