Papayiannis http://www.sematopia.com/?p=122 My parents came back from Greece today and brought back some great photos from Nestani. I’ve uploaded them to Flickr in their original sizes, so feel free to download and develop them. Most of the photos are from St. George’s Name Day this past year. I’ve posted a few below — click here to see all of them. The people from Nestani now reside all over Greece and the world, see the comments from here to learn more.

Papayiannis http://www.sematopia.com/?p=94 March 15th was a sad day for my home town Nestani.  Our Mother Superior Markela passed away yesterday in Athens.  She had lived at the monastery (Panayia) in Nestani for 38 years.  The funeral took place today with hundreds of people crowding the monastery to pay their respects.  Nestani can be seen here.

Papayiannis http://www.sematopia.com/?p=24 I couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw this. With Goolge Earth you can actually zoom in to Nestani, Greece. Were talking a town you can walk from one end to the other in 20 minutes.

I took some screen captures below and highlighted key parts. Nestani is 15 minutes from Tripoli and 1.5 hours from Athens.

Nothing better than Greek air.
