Overview

In the upper town, we visit profitis ilias church, an ottoman monument, osios david church, the monastery of Vlatadon and other hidden places. We speak about a big fire, the Τurks, the Jews, the mt Olympus, greek mythology, a religious masterpiece of art, music (rebetico), St paul, the story of the greek refugees from Turkey and other stories.
