Church of Panagia Gremniotissa

Church of Panagia Gremniotissa (Ios, Greece):

The Greek Islands hold so many churches with great history and many of them are in such beautiful locations. This is the most photographed church on the island of Ios, Ekklisia Panagia Gremiotissa (Church of Virgin Mary of the Cliff). This church was white with a bright blue that matched almost exactly the color of the sky. As I was looking at the front of the church, I couldn’t tell when the blue painting on the church stopped and when the sky started. There was a courtyard in front of the church, with a large Greek flag flying high that overlooked the town below. My husband and I climbed the hill just above this church and right behind the bell tower because we thought this was the way to some other churches. However, the path came to a dead end. But we learned that in Greece you could never make a wrong turn. As we turned around to walk back the way we came, I noticed the tops of the palm trees were perfectly positioned behind the bell tower, which led to an impromptu photo session.
