Indeedy - but being the pedantic old barsteward that I am, I'm looking for a specific location.

I've no idea, but I'll guess near the cricket pitch in the main square of Corfu Town.

The 'Venetian Well' is located in the tiny square known as 'Kremasti'. (A Greek word meaning 'hanging'). The church of The Blessed Virgin of Kremasti and Saint Iakovos is located there. The surrounding area is known as 'Campiello' from the Italian meaning 'small squares'. (As in 'open spaces')


Is that pedantitious enough for you SD?

Sorry for the delay, and yes Jim you are indeed correct, not to mention supercalifragipedantious.

There used to be a superb restaurant here, but the restaurant is now a pale shadow of what is used to be.

is it on Lesvos - the Roman aqueduct?

Actually, on second thoughts, and looking at it properly, it really isn't - sorry.

No need to apologise Lydia, you were partly right. It is an aquaduct.

The only other big aqueduct I know of is in northern Greece - Kavala, is it?

Spot on Lydia.

Oh dear, I have a good (but not too challenging) picture to tax you with next, but I'm a bit confused as to how to upload it. I tried, but was confused by the process and had to abandon it. Bloomin' pathetic, I know!

You posted the "Home Page" link
..... what you needed to post was the image link: Where in Greece? UploadTut2

So your post-text would look like
Code:

***!!!!&%$£!*****

THIS IS MAKING ME CROSS - IT'S JUST A F***ING LINK AGAIN. AAAARGH. STAMP, CRASH.

anyway, if you can see a picture from this link, where is it? If not, sod it, someone else can do it. My boxes and things didn't look like the ones in Kidder's instructions. GRRRRRRR.

Meant to say, because I got so cross, it's quite hard.

No, sorry.

It is hard I think. It's in the courtyard of a museum.

As today's my last day befoe we go to Crete (hoooooooooooray), if no-one gets it by this evening, I'll tell you the answer and the last person who's tried can be the winner!

I do believe I know exactly where this is Lydia. I was waiting to see if anyone else knew.
It is on the mainland, a bit north of Mystras, and has the same name as a well known catalogue shop.
