Yeah you are probably right. The other stone is from the second gallery. The galleries were used by monks in Byzantine and later years, so some changes could made. In the cetre of the keep is a small bassilica of Saint George. Good choise for a patron saint, yes?
Who hasn't adelfe :wink: , except some vismata :evil: . That doesn't mean that I would it again. To be honest of course last Sunday was about 40 celsius. And I could kill for a canteen and a Petasos up there. The stones were so hot that even lizards were standing in the shade.
Quote:Spyro you just showed a reason why garison troops were mostly "light" troops and I see no reason for guardsmen wearing petasos with the helmet handy nearby in case of trouble.
Although I had no problem on couple of hours sentry duty with a steel helmet
at a rather exposed position during my national service.

Honor to those who in the life they lead
define and guard a Thermopylae.
Never betraying what is right,
consistent and just in all they do
but showing pity also, and compassion
