We tackled a short hike yesterday along a path that wraps around behind the windmills and finally meets up with the cemetery road. It was tricky in spots because of the prickly bushes that have grown over the pathway. The view out to sea was spectacular. A north wind had cleared the air overnight and made it possible to see many islands in the distance.
Looking down at Agia Anna while balancing on the pathway!
There is a small church at the cemetery that houses boxes of bones from the burial sites. After a predetermined length of time the bones are removed from the coffins, cleaned and stored in these boxes.
I am not sure what happened to many generations of bones that must have preceded these ones.
Later in the afternoon we visited the new fitness centre in Xylokeratidi. At the cost of 20 euros per month, John is now a member and will join several skinny 15 year olds on the equipment every other day!!
