Papingo
Greece, Zagoria, Mikró Pápingo, april 30, 2005. Two very old plane trees on the church square.
A panorama taken in the gallery of the church. On the left are burned out candles next to the door. On the right a view to the village of Vikos, at the end of the Vikos gorge. Many years ago hikers usually got permission to spend the night in this gallery, but now that the area is becoming more popular gradually, hikers are redirected to the local hotels.
The bell house with two curled hooks for ringing the bells. On the background is the church.
A house in Mikro Papingo, with horse shoes above the door for good luck. Small Greek villages don't have street names, only numbers. This house is now number 12 and remains of paint showed that the house had several other numbers in the past.
The office of the World Wildlife Fund is open to visitors. Inside: souvenirs, folders and many photos of flora and fauna.
A kafenio with a nice view to Piryi, the "towers" of Papingo.
The natural pools of Papingo can be found near the road between Mikro Papingo and Megalo Papingo. The location can be recognised by a small stream of water, a wall and a parking space. It can be a bit crowded but the walk upstream is absolutely worth the effort.
(And, gentlemen of travel agencies, don't use these photos without permission because you would be send a bill with the formidable rates of the Dutch photography federation increased by a minimum of 300% extra for unpermitted use. However, when asked beforehand I will charge very reasonable prices.)
Vertical panorama made of two photos. The local youth of Papingo used these pools to learn to swim.
Onnoot couldn't continue here without getting wet. This photo was taken around a corner by holding the camera forward while leaning over.
Next item: Vikos.
