Paintings and silver

1. Byzantine religious paintings with gold foil frames. We toured a workshop where they painted these items for the shops and museums, intriguing techniques!
2. The restaurant where we had dinner on the lake in Ioannina. All the waterfront restaurants have a portion on the water, and the kitchen, washrooms, and another seating area across the street. That also means that all the food is carried Cross the street to be served...
3 & 4. Pictures are of a silversmith in Ioannina, at the centre for silversmiths. There are 45 artists working in silver at this centre, with a central shop for purchases.
