http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com The medieval Monastery of St. Mary at Apollonia is composed of a church and refectory that was very interesting because the builders used decorative blocks and other materials from the ruins of Apollonia. A person could probably stand for hours scanning the outside to pick out different pieces. One stone block had Arabic writing. Stone heads of lions. Another, figures of people. Quite unique. The frescoes were in poor shape and almost everything within the church has been rebuilt. Done with sightseeing, it was time for lunch "al fresco" in the Apollonia Archaeological Park. Yum, yum, yum... Please don't forget to Subscribe Share and Like. Thanks.
