Colonia SAN MARCO caffe [Explored]

For years we'd been driving past this abandoned church in the island of Rhodes, Greece, wondering why it had been left to decay, and whether it would ever 'come back to life'.

Imagine our surprise when we drove along the road this year to find that a café had opened up in the building alongside, and the church was well on its way to being restored.

Of course we stopped, parked the car and went inside for coffee, and to explore a little.

Photos inside the building show the church during the Italian occupation.
