This was our first island in the Dodecanese although it still had the flavour of the Cyclades with its white houses, blue paintwork and Chora on the hilltop.  This one had the remains of a 15th century Venetian fortification with the atmospheric ruins of houses which themselves formed its defensive walls and two blue-domed churches tucked inside.  Great views from here and the background to this photo of us and our Aussie visitors (spot the sisters!).
