Acheloos Mugs

The church of the Holy Cross (also known as "Doliana Monastery"), famous for tis 13 domes, somewhere between Krania and Doliana villages, Aspropotamos region, Trikala, Thessaly, Greece. In my humble opinion, the most beautiful church in whole Greece!

Verliga, the sources of Acheloos (also known as "Aspropotamos") river, at 2000 m altitude, in the heart of the Alpine Zone of Pindus (or "Pindos") mountain range, the "spine" of Greece. So remote, difficult to reach, but one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen, even this time of year (end of summer) when the water is so little. It's here, where the ancient "River-God" starts its long journey. Truly a "must-see" , but most important a "must-feel" for the lovers of the Greek mountains. It is about 12,5 kmon a difficult dirtroad from Chaliki village. There is also access from the other side, Epirus, from the villages of Tzoumerka mountains. Camera: Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III

The Monastery of Panagia Galaktotrofoussa, close to Anthoussa village (old name "Lepenitsa"), Aspropotamos region, Trikala, Thessaly, Greece. Every season is beautiful there, but autumn is pure magic!
