Aghios Minas, Chios Island
Six girls, one rainy Sunday and Saint Minas

It was one warm and a bit rainy Sunday in October. We took a nice walk down the road from Katarraktis to Aghios Minas (greek Αγίου Μηνά). It's a monastery situated on a hilltop close to village Neohori, built in the 16th century.
It is famous to the world because of the massacre in March 1822 when the islanders who were seeking refuge, were killed by Turks during the Greek Revolution.
Our little group of six girls didn't mind the rain. Fig fruits and blackberries that we've tasted on the way was the only thing that was stopping us.
