Margaritas, a small village in Crete south of Rethimno and Iraklio with blue skies and a gentle breeze.
Small church in Margaritas
This was a few days ago but now, the first week in August, we have clouds, white puffy cumulus and some darker cirrus. I have never seen such clouds here in August. But back to Margaritas . . .
Pottery baked for tourists
Of course there are many potters in Margaritas, but here we see other pottery shapes made apart from the many regular pots produced here. The potteries are part of the attraction to this small village on a hill, and many people come here to stock up shops all over the island with pots.
Sleeping kittens curled with each other
So the day goes by and come two pm, everyone enjoys siesta.
A beautiful old church under a pure blue sky! Very nice post for SWF! Have a great weekend!
The church, the pottery , the cats and the sky all are very nice.
I realy enjoyed this post!
Beautiful church. The pottery and cats are great too.
Sydney – City and Suburbs
Lovely pictures – they remind me of Southern Italy & Capri; they had stunning blue skies as well.
Plus I’m a sucker for cats!
Beautiful church. I love all of the colors in the pottery but the kitties stole my heart.
Beautiful place. Great shots.
that’s a lovely church (or chapel). love the architecture of it.
Beautiful photos!
Lovely old stone church, but it has no windows, it must be very dark inside, love the bell tower. Nice cuddle cats too.
Margaritas? Is not the name of village Margarites?
It is a lovely village with all those potteries.
Very nice post, gives me yet another place to visit once I’ve worked myself out of the strange but pleasant lethargy that has settled upon me during August and kept me close to hom.
Great to see that other people share my view that this is a great place to visit. The pics take me back to my many visits to the village. Happy days.
What a beautiful Village, was there visiting the Pottery Shops what talent and history? Some day I hope to return.
