Plenty of excuses

During my travels around Greece there are three elements that keep popping up wherever I go.
Ancient ruins, a scenic old village and a church.
Of course with many variations but the pattern keeps repeating itself!

In the location, I am presenting you today I have found a 15th century castle, a village with the name of an ancient God and a church with amazing murals! All three of them, gave me plenty of excuses to use my camera :)

The village and the castle are both called Asklipio, probably named after Asclepius, the Greek God of medicine and you can find it at the island of Rhodes. The church is right in the middle of the village, you can't miss it!

Overall it was a lovely detour away from the seaside resorts and the cosmopolitan life of Rhodes and if you ever find yourself in the island, I totally recommend it :)

What I know greece is the most beautiful country, I also plan to visit this country. :)

Thank for stopping by @opick, I hope you'll visit Greece really soon!

Absolutely gorgeous, I can't wait to see it for myself but shall enjoy vicariously with these until then!

Thank you very much @elmerlin, I hope you'll have the chance for some vacation in Greece pretty soon!
If I may ask, I was wondering if I could do a few formatting changes to the post, using peakd. But I don't know if that would affect the Liketu post, also. What do you think?

Sorry it took a while to reply, just found it now.

Yes you can edit the post as you like. It might look weird on liketu since we designed it to be simple with photo gallery on the left, and some limited descriptive words to the right. Some people have put pictures and a lot more into the description to cater for their existing audience.

I'm not at liberty to infringe on anybody's rights to do that!

On the other hand, if liketu eventually becomes a popular front-end with more than say 4000 users, perhaps people will stop doing that as their audience may infact be primarily from people already using liketu. Just a thought.

Thank you for your reply! I didn't want to make any changes before I have your opinion.
The formatting makes total sense for liketu.In fact it is much faster and easy to use and you are right, probably one day it won't even cross our mind to do it differently.
But for now it might seem a bit unfamiliar for my followers through other front-ends to have to scroll down all the pictures in order to get to the description, especially in posts with many pictures. So I'll just move the text a bit!
Thank you for your support and keep up the good work!

That looks like such a cool place to go explore.

Yes, it is pretty cool!
Thank you @derangedvisions :)

In my head, Greece is white ground and blue sky from all the pictures I have seen of this beautiful country so far! 🙂

Yes, that's the image that prevails!
The funny thing is that although the blue sky was always there, the white houses were enforced by a diktat in 1938!

What did the ground look like before 1938?

Colorful!
(The houses, not the ground)

Imagine, sitting on the peak. Love your post.
