Zagora, Thessaly, Greece
Zagora, Thessaly, GreeceThe village of Zagora
Leaving behind Tsagkarada this morning we are off for the largest and most historical village of Eastern Pelion . The distance is only 25km but we make several stops for pictures and as always I want to collect blackberries on the way or walk for a while when I see that this is possible.
The road is weaving in and out of forests of oak and chestnut trees and it is so cool and nice out here.
Zagora is on a slope and it prides for its tastiest apples which are cultivated in this area. As we approach we come across several apple orchards. Fruit are hanging but they are not as yet ripe.
Perachora, Agia Paraskevi, Agia Kyriaki, and Saint George are the four quarters the village is divided into. The mansion we are staying is somewhere between Agia Kyriaki and Saint George's square.
Through my stroll in the village I got some beautiful pictures of mansions with the traditional architecture. The stone roofs are also an example of this traditional architecture.
See for yourselves what I mean.
