A first view on Loutro right after the start	The remains of the Venetian and Turkish buildings on top of the Loutro penninsula	Getting higher and higher
Down, along the shore the path to Glyka Nera (Sweetwater Beach) and Sfakia. Glyka Nera is behind the last rocks at the top	On the long strectch of the path heading for the dirt road	After this point, Loutro disappers for a while behind the hills
At the end of the path is the junction with the dead end road from Anopolis to Ag. Ekaterini. Kambi, a little hamlet belonging to the Anopolis settlements is in the background, as well as the telecommunications towers	And always those beautiful flowers	A view from the end of the path
Again with the low hanging clouds	The church bell	In better days, the church bell was here
Inside Ag. Ekaterini church	A view on the church court yard facing south east from the merlon built around the church	View on Loutro through the merlon
The plain of Anopolis with clouds on the Lefka Ori	Loutro from 700 metres up in detail	"Fly like an eagle", vulture flying over the Loutro hills
And again these flowers	Thanks EU for the road	Olive grove on the road from Anopolis to Aradena
The old kalderimi from Anopolis to Aradena crossing the Aradena gorge. This path was the only connection between Anopolis and Aradena before the Bailey bridge was built in the 1980's	Spectators watching bungy jumpers in the Aradena gorge from the Bailey bridge	The church of Aradena
The descent into the Aradena gorge	The dirt road connecting Anopolis with Livadiana (in the middle to the right) and Lykos (Nikos Small Paradise) and Phoenix. In the middle to the left the rocks of Marmara beach can be seen	Art at sea, in front of Marmara beach
A late afternoon view on Livadiana, showing the shadows of the terraces around the village	The Aradena gorge, view to the south	A bungy jumper, milliseconds after leaving the platform
