A rustic door leads to the courtyard of this lovely stone structure in the mountain village of Monodendri, Greece.
About Monodendri:
Monodendri (Μονοδένδρι) is a village in the Epirus region of mainland Greece. It is located 41 km (25 miles) north of the city of Ioannina and sits at an altitude 1060 meters (3478 feet). The village retains much of its traditional stone-built architecture. The local craftsmen of Epirus used stone and wood for the construction of their houses, many of which are well-maintained to this day. Near the village, the historic monastery of Agia Paraskevi sits on the edge of the Vikos Gorge.

Capturing Moments 
A lovely photo and this area sounds rich in history. I recognise that lovely Greek blue.
Thank you for your nice comment. Yes – lots of interesting history in this area.
I love the tones and textures in this shot
Thanks!
We are just down the road from here. Arrived today in Vitsa. Will put Mododendri on our “to see” list. It is also the place to get the best local pitas.
Lucky you! We loved the area and plan to to back one day.
We are here now enjoying an evening meal after going up to the Vikos gorge outlook. Great pitas and grilled meat. You must come back!
I’m jealous! We defnitely will be back. It’s s nice walk to the Vikos gorge! We had coffee at a cafe near the trail entrance. Next time we’ll make sure to eat some yummy pitas and grilled meats. Which taverna did you try?
There are three in the little plateia near the Rizareio handicraft centre – will blog about it as we are returning this morning to go to the centre. No need to be jealous as I know you will be back. It is a wonderful part of Greece!
This is stunning….the rustic door, the large stones, and the bright blue shutters. I want to walk through this door and see what lies beyond.
Thanks for stopping by! You would be delighted by the expansive courtyard and equally stunning decor on the other side of the door. 🙂
What a beautiful shot!
