    Crete, Greece by: livefasttravel Views[217] Vikos Gorge is in the Guiness Book of Records as the deepest gorge in the world with a drop of 1000m at its deepest point. We visited this place and was in absolute awe, it was so hard to capture a shot that showed the scale. by: jamesgrant Views[683] Polylimnio Waterfalls are in a deep cool gorge in Southern Greece. Its more like an Amazonian world in there with fresh waters channelling down. I had been visiting the area for years but never knew about the area before and was taken back in amazement, especially as the surrounding areas are baron fields and olive trees. by: jamesgrant Views[493] This is the bourtzi at the end of the castle in Methoni. It had been used as many things including a prison at one point. The castle is never usually open within the golden hours, but a fortunate passing at sunrise saw the gates open allowing me to capture this image, by: jamesgrant Views[453] For years I had wanted to visit what looked like the magical place of Meteora in Northern Greece. In recent months it has become more popular due to being featured in the hit TV series
     
    A 2 and a half hour drive from our base camp driving over high mountain passes saw us arriving at Gythio. We visited solely to capture this shipwreck called The residents of Gennadi don’t seem to worry too much about the state of things, and won’t pass up an opportunity to get together. In true laid-back Greek style, they held their annual fishing competition one evening on the beach in front of the town. Much beer was consumed, and few fish were caught. by: robindhevans Views[493] The area surrounding the town of Gennadi, the southern-most town on Rhodes, is littered with silent shells of unfinished buildings, reclaimed mostly by tough, prickly weeds. The area had suffered a notable decrease of investment in recent years, leaving these monoliths towering over the fields that probably would have been home to the once growing community of British expatriate retirees. by: robindhevans Views[509] In 2009 I spent three months living in Gennadi, working as a watersports instructor in front of three hotels at nearby Kiotari Bay in the south of Rhodes, Greece. It was quiet in Kiotari. Many of the hotel sun chairs were left empty; a reflection of the slow start to the holiday season as a result of the poor economic climate. Rhodes island is dominated by the tourism industry, with the endless days of sun and consistent wind ordinarily drawing sunbakers and watersport enthusiasts from all over Europe. However at the time, this scene was not uncommon along the east coast beaches. by: robindhevans Views[564] Mani, Greece. The most usual material in an anhydrous area is stone, which is entirely used for the buildings. A View which will be the same through the years. 1/200, f8, Canon G6 by: ggregoriadis Views[768]

    GREECE | Tue, 21 Jan 2014 | By raftus | Views [1818]
