Is it just me or does the house look like a church? There seems to be a cross on the steeple, but maybe I'm wrong.

Steeple?!

Looks remarkably like a chimney to me?! ;D ;D

Well, hi again folks.
I go out this morning and we're debating Datchet and Windsor.
Now we're on the Greek Island of Lemnos  ;D

Well done, it looks like the right landscape and castle. And shuttered house fits in with a Mediterranean location.

Looby :)

You're all awesome <3

If you google "Myrina" there are a lot of photos of the fortress.

I have found one which looks like it may have been taken from a shore to the left of Kez's photo, but I think I can see the rocky outcrop which is visible in the middle of our photo.

I'm still looking for a photo taken from the same place as Kez's. :)

Fourth row down - the picture on the left is pretty close:

Slightly different angle and closer:
