Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

We spent almost all day in the car. after a short stop at lakes. The village is very different from the area we have been to so far, more pleasant I think. We walk a bit along the river in the village, where we can actually see an oriole in the treetop. In the photo the oriole turned into a yellow spot, so I won't show it.

This architectural style is called Macedonian traditional architecture. The style emerged when local building traditions blended with Ottoman urban architecture. It was reserved for richer people.

The town is quite touristy, many hotels and restaurants. It's nice that you can eat in Greece around six o'clock.
