Life in he village

Greece
North Aegean Sea
Chios island
Medieval villages


Chios is a biggish island with rich ancient history extending back to the third millenium BC. From 1304 to 1566 the island flourished under the Genoese occupation with ships and merchants crossing the entire Mediteranean.The Genoese built strong fortresses to protect the island from the pirates and thriving towns and villages have developped within the walls. Many of these villages remain intact till today with the locals moving through the narrow old streets carrying out their daily occupations like their old ancestors were doing.....

In the photo, life at the gate.

    Reportage molto interessante : complimenti.
    Penso che FC dovrebbe promuovere l'idea di fare reportage.

    Cordiale saluto dalla Sicilia e grazie per la tua visita e commento. Buon sabato.
