The endless beauty and history of Sounio (part 2)

Here I am again to guide you through the second part of my walk around the majestic pine forest of Sounio. The following dirt roads lead me to the next spot for some exploration around:

To be honest I can't wait for the electric future when I'll be enjoying my time riding in the heart of nature while still listening to birds singing without disturbing any living being.

I sneak into this dense spot to see if I can get a view to these cavities behind the trees:

I harvested less than I hoped for so I walk back through this jungle:

In fact I make my way out of the bottom of some sort of crater as you can see:

After a while walking in this very dense part of the forest I can see for the first time in the background behind those trees my next target:

It's a pair of small stone houses from the 19th century:

And that's the road that used to serve them, who knows when it was the last time it really did actually:

I say so cause as you will see at least the first one is not just abandoned but also roofless:

However, it must have been cleaned up recently as I can tell from the looks of its floor and walls:

A place like this in the heart of a forest like this would look way much worse with no roof, doors and windows.

Unsurprisingly, it seems that it used to have a fireplace though there's no chimney today, not even a roof actually:

Fancy some window view?

The other building is almost the same size but it must have been roofed lately with one of its rooms being privileged enough to have a locked door:

The other room is just open and bare:

I leave both of them behind and continue with the rest of my "to do" list. Once again, I meet fenced mine shafts:

This stone wall is around 150 years old:

Unfenced beauty is a clear winner:

Ladies and gentlemen, this is just a small bit of the unparalleled green beauty of Sounio:

I am afraid you might have "walked" a bit too much already so I'll kindly offer you a break and hopefully see you in part 3 - coming soon 🙂
