Between Then and Now Margaritas

Margaritas is a pottery village. We went there to find giant pithoi. There is a potter there that still makes them like they have been made for thousands of years. We picked out three beautiful pots with lids. They are not the largest ones that he makes but they are the largest ones that Grier and I can move. Here are some pictures of the potter and his daughter. She is also a potter and makes very beautiful smaller pottery. The grandson is learning how to make the big pots, so there is hope that the tradition will continue.

The pretty architecture is at the monastery at Margaritas.

I've also included a cute barking dog picture from Margaritas.
