Megalochori

by Sophia


Having a drink in Megalochori







Yesterday we went to Megalochori which means big village. 






It was the first Plomari because the town had to be in the hills so they wouldn't get attacked by pirates. When the pirates were gone, they built another village by the sea which became Plomari.

Outside St John's church which is 300 years old







When we were there we went to the church. It was really cool!







The huge key for the church
