Approaching Meis
Entering the harbor
Upon entering the harbor I noticed a small mosque on this otherwise Greek (Christian) island
I was struck by the many different colored buildings like little doll houses in rows.
Greek Coast Guard boat, the customs house and our docking area.
The old stone village houses were charming, rustic and all of them had colorful doors, almost like a movie set. I decided to go for a walk up and around the main harbor area.
My walkabout
On my walkabout I saw this 15th Century Church, unfortunately it was locked up.

Upon reaching the top of the crest above the main harbor I discovered there was another, smaller one on the other side!

View from the crest looking down on the opposite side from the main harbor, notice the clear, slightly turquoise color of the water extending out to a darker and rich blue; typical of the Mediterranean .
