5 Perfect Days - Thassos, Greece

Our final(?) trip to Thassos, Greece - one of our all time favorite destinations, and we were able to share it with Kate's mom and dad.  Check out our pictures:

A picture of the family under the olive tree at the house we rent. 
Just one of the numerous gorgeous scenes from our drive

Sandy takes on lifeguarding duties - do you feel safe? 
This is Skala Potamia as seen from our hike over the mountain; we stay at the far end
Kate, Anne and Sandy as we start our first hike. 

A boat from our lunch table at Aliki beach

The church tower and Greek flag in Panagea

Anne and Sandy all dressed up with borrowed clothes while visiting the Monastery

Kate's shot - flower and brick. 

Another shot from our hike to Panagea

It's easy to understand why Anne was fascinated by the roses in Thassos
Our walk back down from Panagea - Kate and her parents in the distance
Sandy and Mike enjoy a cool dip after a long hike to the hidden cove

Sandy and Mike are leading the way to Panagea - and they found a shortcut (by accident and luck)
The slate rooftops of the ancient town of Theologos


Ubiquitous for the local houses in Thassos - the overhanging vines

A prayer spiritual house honoring the dead in Greece

The beauty of a door

A roadside church near Golden Beach

A beautiful view of the mountains in Thassos

An old, old olive tree split in half
Mike, Anne, and Sandy with Skala Potamia in the backgroun

This turkey was in charge

Watching over its pack of hens
And he showed me who was in charge
