Quaint old village Alex.  It must have had a thriving community at one time.

Quaint old village Alex.  It must have had a thriving community at one time.

My first visit was as a college student and it was fairly abandoned and in ruins but already with a status of preserve - now it's very renovated in the old style and Very overcrowded with foreigners in summer. A few km's back on the road is a second village like that Leshten with a lot more guest infrastructure - Hotels, restaurants etc.

Yes I can understand the attraction of renovated properties, bringing in lots of tourists and sight-seers.
Hopefully that will regenerate the local economy and help the revival of the village

Thanks for sharing.
You are lucky that your family follow and wait for you to take fly.

Nice tight flying.

None of the above but sometimes I insist children to take a brake from seating on tablets/phones/TVs and have an adventure with me - usually filled with a lot of complaints

Aaaa ok normal kids like all the others

Interesting footage of that old village.  Haven't seen stone walkways like that in a while.  Nice flying Alex.  

Reminds me of Harry Potter and diagon ally

Very nice.
I like these 'urban' shots a lot.
