Paleochora Christmas Puzzle 2010

December is here, and with Christmas on the way, it’s puzzle time again.  Here’s the chance to win a €10 book token to exchange at Paleohora’s ‘To Delfini’ bookshop (perhaps our guide  to ‘More Walks from Paleochora‘, just a suggestion …..)

All you have to do is answer these ten questions.

The 1st number in brackets refers to the total number of letters in each answer.  The 2nd number tells you which letter of the answer to take.  Shuffle these ten letters to give the name of a village in the Paleohora area.

1    Large White Mountains vulture with distinctive diamond-shaped tail.   (11-8)
2    Historical Byzantine chapel east of Agia Roumeli.  (11-7)

Where have these boats been scuppered?

6    Gorge and village west of Loutro.  (7-6)

7    Beach 3 km west from Paleohora, with rock the shape of a ship’s prow.  (11-7)
