Save The Last Walk For Me

MY flight home is not till mid-afternoon, so after breakfast I made my usual trek to Fodele village for a morning espresso.
But then I carried on to the nearby Church of the Panayia (also transliterated as Panagia), an 11th-century Byzantine cruciform church dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
Welcome colour along the way

Even this short stretch of road is not without a shrine for an accident victim

Greens and light browns predominate, but can be beautiful

Front view of the church

Side view - I find it sobering to think this was built about the time of the Norman Conquest

This may be a filled-in well, or was perhaps used for immersive baptisms
