OK thank you Smeagol. Try this church. I tried another view of it from about 5m to the right but Google image search picked it up. There are plenty of photographs on the WWW from different angles.

Then you have missed it FD2. I did say at the beginning we have been there a lot. Reminder that we usually spend three months a year in Greece. A very important festival here every year.

The famous festival should be a week today but suspect it will not take place due to restrictions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panagia_Ekatontapiliani It hasn't got 100 doors but it is thought to be a corruption of 'Katapoliani' which I believe means lower town church.

I see what you mean but it's not any sort of telephone box.
