Assos - Scenery

From the top of the acropolis, we could see the island of Lesvos across the water. It look for all the world like an island from a fantasy realm rising out of the mist. There was an old, ruined stone that also looked liked something out of a fantasy setting. So, naturally, I have a lot of pictures:











Just imagine a bird skimming across the water as the island grows closer...





Clouds were following us in, and they looked cool, so I snapped a few shots:







I don't think any of these pictures really captured how cool Lesvos looked.

Anyway, here are the other scenic pictures:



And finally... walking into the town, we passed an ice cream sign: 


One of the professors told me that "Yahya" is a name for John the Baptist - so it's holy ice cream! (Hahahahaha!)

  1. Come here to eat, and baptize your tongue in sweet, delicious ice cream.
    And of course, you get to admire clouds and pretty oceans while you enjoy this treat. Great, now I want an ice cream cone among the crashing waves and cool sea breezes, while gulls fly overhead emitting their cries, and... (delves into realm of fantasy)
