CHAPTER XXIX.
THE SITE OF KANTANOS, NEAR KHADHROS. VILLAGE OF SPANIAKO,
AND RUINS OF TWO TOWERS NEAR IT.
April 30, continued.
We return to the village of Temenia at ten minutes
past nine, and then pursue the course of the river west-
ward : the plane-trees with which its banks are covered
are just shooting out their foliage. We soon leave the
river on our left, and, after ascending for about a mile,
descend, during nearly a quarter of an hour, to the river
and village of Strati. Here we remain till half past ten,
my horse having run away as we descended the hill on
foot. The banks of this river of Strati also are covered
with fine plane-trees. Immediately after leaving the
village, the promontory of Selino-kasteli, four or five
miles off to the south-west, becomes visible, and we also
see the course of the valley all the way down to it. In
less than an hour we arrive at a shepherd's cottage to
departure from temenia.
