The road descends towards the cruise harbour, where part of a Virgin Voyages ship is visible.<br /> <br /> History: Residents and Asia Minor refugees founded the parish after 1924, naming it after the famous Life-Giving Spring shrine in Constantinople. Early attempts to build a permanent church were repeatedly stopped because permission had not been granted. After wartime destruction in 1941, restoration and enlargement produced the present building. A large parish community centre was added in 1996.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/martin-m-miles/">Martin M.

The most visible are the ruins of the Church of Saint Sophia, which was the metropolis of the Catholic bishops down to the 15th century.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/nturland/">Nick Turland</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/nturland/55485939494/" title="View west from the springs of Argyroupoli"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55485939494_2e0747344a_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="View west from the springs of Argyroupoli" /></a></p> <p>Greece: Crete, Rethymno, Argyroupoli, 30 June 2026.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/phfederico/">FedeMonza</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/phfederico/55485899179/" title="Santorini"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55485899179_cde8670f5f_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Santorini" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/111emergency/">111 Emergency</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/111emergency/55485817798/" title="Athens - May 2026"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55485817798_5f2a998ea2_m.jpg" width="240" height="142" alt="Athens - May 2026" /></a></p> <p>Maria Tsakos Foundation and Tsakos Group<br /> <br /> Identification: Maria Tsakos Foundation building at left and the Tsakos Group “Macedonia” Building behind.<br /> <br /> Location: Around 365–367 Syngrou Avenue, Palaio Faliro.<br /> <br /> The smaller classical-style building prominently carries the words MARIA TSAKOS FOUNDATION, while the much larger glass-and-stone office block behind belongs to the Tsakos maritime group.<br /> <br /> Tsakos Shipping and Trading officially lists its headquarters as 367 Syngrou Avenue, “Macedonia” Building, Palaio Faliro.<br /> <br /> Large banners on the tower refer to the group's maritime heritage and 50-year history. The architecture deliberately gives the headquarters considerable presence: dark reflective glazing is framed by pale stone, with a large open pergola-like structure around the roof.<br /> <br /> This is a particularly appropriate landmark for Palaio Faliro, given the area's close relationship with Greek shipping and the nearby Saronic Gulf.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/phfederico/">FedeMonza</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/phfederico/55485908404/" title="Santorini"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55485908404_47eaf5500a_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Santorini" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/phfederico/">FedeMonza</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/phfederico/55485852153/" title="Santorini"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55485852153_66a12a0f66_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Santorini" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/phfederico/">FedeMonza</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/phfederico/55485841318/" title="Santorini"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55485841318_b8c0c03c48_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Santorini" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/phfederico/">FedeMonza</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/phfederico/55485903679/" title="Santorini"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55485903679_09982c624a_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Santorini" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/phfederico/">FedeMonza</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/phfederico/55485727401/" title="Santorini"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55485727401_8b09092d70_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Santorini" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/phfederico/">FedeMonza</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/phfederico/55485737081/" title="Santorini"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55485737081_61ce33a37a_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Santorini" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/phfederico/">FedeMonza</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/phfederico/55485910879/" title="Santorini"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55485910879_f993cc477e_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Santorini" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/phfederico/">FedeMonza</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/phfederico/55485900434/" title="Santorini"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55485900434_46e37c285b_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Santorini" /></a></p>
