This very smart male was perched on rocks at the top of the ridge above the road and was clearly singing. We later drove to the top of the track and re-found the bird somewhat closer then the original sighting (photos from the original site were even worse!).<br /> <br /> A bird I've only ever seen a handful of times previously so this bird was much enjoyed.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/pkostar/">PattyK.</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/pkostar/55326788999/" title="*"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55326788999_d1e8aae205_m.jpg" width="240" height="240" alt="*" /></a></p> <p>Lake Pamvotida, Ioannina (Greece)</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/martin-m-miles/">Martin M.

The earliest remains of the city date back to the fifth century BC. It was an important Dorian city in eastern Crete. The city of Gortyn surpassed Hierapytna's importance as an independent state when Hierapytna was conquered by the Romans in 67 BC. The city was severely damaged during the Arab conquest in 824 but was subsequently rebuilt. It experienced a new period of prosperity during the Venetian period from the 13th to the 17th centuries.<br /> <br /> <br /> The Archaeological Collection is housed in the building of an Ottoman School that was built in 1899. <br /> <br /> Octopus Stirrup Jar<br /> 1500 - 1450 BC<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> --<br /> Ancient Octopuses<br /> <a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/323415/album/1377768" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.ipernity.com/doc/323415/album/1377768</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/staszczuk/">jacek.staszczuk</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/staszczuk/55325220602/" title="Kolymbia - Rodos"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55325220602_f9be2302d3_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Kolymbia - Rodos" /></a></p> <p>(C)2026 Jacek Staszczuk, all rights reserved <br /> <a href="http://staszczuk.blogspot.com/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Photo-blog: staszczuk.blogspot.com/</a> <br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BlogTrzecieOko" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Facebook</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/adiroyle/">Adrian Royle</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/adiroyle/55326134639/" title="DSC_9714"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55326134639_f9e74ae014_m.jpg" width="203" height="240" alt="DSC_9714" /></a></p> <p>Krüper's Nuthatch - <br /> Sitta krueperi.

Crete was the center of Europe's first advanced civilization, the Minoans, from 3000 to 1400 BC. The Minoan civilization was overrun by the Mycenaean civilization from mainland Greece. Crete was later ruled by Rome, then successively by the Byzantine Empire, the Byzantine Empire again, the Venetian Republic, and the Ottoman Empire. In 1898 Crete, whose people had for some time wanted to join the Greek state, achieved independence from the Ottomans, formally becoming the Cretan State. Crete became part of Greece in December 1913.<br /> <br /> On the narrow roads all over the island, you might come across oncoming traffic like these sheep.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/26747591@N08/">markdbaynham</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/26747591@N08/55325224653/" title="Moudros - Lemnos - NE Aegean - Greece) Panasonic LX100-II"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55325224653_c8c3009202_m.jpg" width="240" height="150" alt="Moudros - Lemnos - NE Aegean - Greece) Panasonic LX100-II" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/11797386@N06/">Steve Chasey Photography</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/11797386@N06/55324784506/" title="K3 III M-130725-022"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55324784506_255dba2510_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="K3 III M-130725-022" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/bayernphoto/">bayernphoto</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bayernphoto/55323543402/" title="Peloponnes"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55323543402_6781d98710_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Peloponnes" /></a></p> <p>You can still find uncrowded beaches during the pre-season.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/gabouruguay-collection/">Gabriel Paladino Ibáñez</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/gabouruguay-collection/55324622069/" title="A Moment of Pause"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55324622069_56cfd8a0d2_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="A Moment of Pause" /></a></p> <p><i>The world can wait a little longer.</i><br /> <br /> Near Markellos Tower, Aegina Island, Greece</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/serkes/">berkeleyhomes-dot-com</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/serkes/55323350382/" title="0Z6A7397"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55323350382_243f2a8700_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="0Z6A7397" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/serkes/">berkeleyhomes-dot-com</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/serkes/55323347287/" title="0Z6A7410_1"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55323347287_764797b7e3_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="0Z6A7410_1" /></a></p>
