North Aegean
island Chios
medieval Mesta (for further information please refer to the first photo in the series. Thank you very much)

The town of Mesta is the most interesting medieval site on the island of Chios with a maze of little cobblestone streets, tunnels and arches. It is inhabited and, especially in summer becomes a very live place not only from turists but also from locals that currenly live elsewhere and they come to visit relatives.
The evening hour is traditionally the period for socializing and coffee with doorsteps the most common meeting point as the photo shows.

    I like very much these angles of rough stones with so much history ,the life is still on a human scale, in the silence, only the sound of footsteps and conversation among the people, face to face, not through mobile phones! very nice shooting, with great perspective. Alexander....
    cari saluti Adriana

    What better than to end the day over a coffee with friends and neighbours sat outside your own front door in a medieval street.
    A superb scene that encapsulates the beauty and age of this place.

    Leading to the prospect. Nice transition of light and shade. Enchanting soft color tone.
