The architecture, mosaics, frescoes and paintings are marvelloous, though. They are the ones I would choose from here. I can't fix of one to give a "+1" to but it would be among the photos in and around the church. I found the cat and wine bottles in Vouni was funny, for what reason I can't say. I also noticed the "ER 1954" under the tap. From the British occupation of the island, perhaps?
