Kalymnos, Greece - Chrysocheria Castle - AtlasVisual
Kalymnos Video Map:
The castle of Chrysocheria lies on top of a hill overlooking Chorio village, the ancient capital of Kalymnos. It is close to the cave of the Seven Virgins and was built by the Knights of St John, who ruled the island from the 14th to the 16th century. The objective of this construction was to fortify the city and protect it from possible conquerors and the pirates' invasions. This castle was inhabited until the 18th century. Today, its interior still hosts the well-preserved church of Panagia.

The Chrysocheria Castle
A local landmark in the Greek island of Kalymnos is the Chrysocheria Castle which stands on a small rocky hill halfway up the valley, and looks down on the towns of Pothia on the southuern, and Chora on the northern coast of Kalymnos. It's quite a steep walk up!
Inside the castle there is located a small Orthodox church of Panagia Chrissoheria (Our Lady with the Golden Hands), from which it derives its present name.
After in 1310 Kalymnos had come under the sovereignty of Order of St. John, the Chrysocheria Castle was built by the Knights Hospitaller to protect a natural harbour of the island in the bay where now the town of Pothia is located. Most likely the castle was built on the foundations of an earlier Byzantine fortress.
After the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the Knights Hospitaller, with the support of Pope Paul II strengthened all their fortresses in Dodecanese, and the Chrysocheria Castle was no exception. The coat of arms embedded into its walls date from the 1460s.

Chora Castle Pera Kastro Kalymnos Sept 2014
We set out from Panormos and walked to Pothia, the capital of Kalymmnos. On the way we stopped to climb up to the castle and abandoned village, with its many small churches. Unfortunately, due to the recession in Greece it was open but deserted, with evidence of neglect all around. Nevertheless we spent a very interesting couple of hours wandering round and reading what was left of the information boards.

Madonna of the Mountains
Today has been a great day.. I discovered a new place (for me) at Kalymnos: Panagia Kyra Psili (Madonna of the mountains) - Maria church. The trip was by car and the last 30-45 minutes was walking (for a mountain goat only 10 min) at a nice path to the beautiful church. The nature showed all the mighty things up there. It was B... cold and windy and there was ICE on the floor outside the church. Inside there was 20 degrees, probably from a hot spring from inside the mountains... This place is a must - WAUW
Αυτό που μου συμβαίνει
φοβάμαι τόσο να το πω
καρδιά μου πληγωμένη
ας είναι αλήθεια αυτό που ζω
Αγάπη να΄ναι αληθινή
αίτία να΄ναι κι αφορμή
σ΄αυτά τα μάτια που κοιτώ
τον έρωτα να βρω
Αν είσαι ένα αστέρι
που φως θα φέρει στην άδεια μου ζωή
ποτέ μη σβήσεις ποτέ να μη μ΄αφήσεις
ποτέ να μη χαθεί η αγάπη αυτή
Μα όνειρο αν είσαι τα φώτα σβήσε
στα όνειρα να ζω
μη ξημερώσει ποτέ να μη τελειώσει
μεσα μου μείνε να σ΄αγαπώ
Στο δρόμο το δικό μου
τα πάντα ήταν σκοτεινά
ποτέ τα όνειρά μου
δε θα΄χαν γίνει αληθινά
Μα τώρα είσαι εδώ εσύ
και έχω ξαναγεννηθεί
το τέλος κι η αρχή μου
ζωή μου είσαι εσύ
Αν είσαι ένα αστέρι
που φως θα φέρει στην άδεια μου ζωή
ποτέ μη σβήσεις ποτέ να μη μ΄αφήσεις
ποτέ να μη χαθεί η αγάπη αυτή
Μα όνειρο αν είσαι τα φώτα σβήσε
στα όνειρα να ζω
μη ξημερώσει ποτέ να μη τελειώσει
πλάι μου μείνε να σ΄αγαπώ...
Kalymnos, Greece - Platis Gialos - AtlasVisual
Kalymnos Video Map:
One of the most beautiful beaches of Kalymnos is Platis Gialos. Its fame is due to its clear waters, but also for the amazing sunsets that one can enjoy from there. It is located near Panormo and one of the main features of the beach is the black sand that stands in stark contrast with the deep blue waters.
