The Mastichari Bay Hotel piers

The two wooden piers in front of the Mastichari Bay Hotel in Mastichari are extremely popular amongst photographers and quite rightfully so. Here are a few of my shots:

Fragopigado spring

This spring is situated in the hills on the road that leads to Antimachia from the church of St George in the Mastichari area. There is nothing much to see other than a lot of water and an accumulation of reeds.

Aghia Eirini Crhysovalantou/Aghios Dimitrios

These two churches are situated close to the Mastichari cemetery. You can reach them by taking the dirt road to your left while going up to Antimachia just after the intersection with the main road (where the petrol station is situated).

Of Hedgehogs

I woke up early the other day since I had to take the morning flight to Athens. As I came out I happened to stumble on this little fellow. He seemed pretty friendly at first and he tried to approach. I quickly grabbed my camera and started taking pictures. Unfortunately it was still dark and the flash was necessary. At first he was dazzled, then he got a bit worried but I guess the blinding light from the flash was preventing him from making any moves. I let him be for a few minutes and sure enough he recovers and quickly trots off seeking cover in a forest of bamboo...

Church of Sotiros Christou

 
Situated on a hilltop overlooking the village of Mastichari, this little church stands out as it offers a fantastic view of the Koan plains.

A Vagi Sunset

A wonderful sunset. A beautiful beach. An ethereal pier ....A perfect combination...

Many thanks to Sophia Karagianni (Photography by Sophia Karagianni) for showing me this marvel...

Of Seagulls

Soaring in the sky, plunging into the Aegean sea to get hold of some fresh fish, following the odd "kaiki", alone or in flocks, these seabirds can be found on nearly all the seashores and the ports of the island of Kos. These specific pictures were taken in Kardamena, Mastichari and Limnionas (Kefalos)....
