Well, I thought it is tricky in the first place. A little hint: the photo was done 2011 from a roof terrace in Konia with 20x zoom....

The hilly area behind the church is not in Armou but is the "honey bee mountain" (Melissovouno) at Tala. The church however belongs to....

If I draw a straight line between Melissovouno and Konia then it must be Mesogi???
Is that the church?

I knew that I am familiar with the honey bee mountain - we live close to it - but I simply could not think of that church...
A.
PS. why is it called honey bee mountain? There are lots of beehives between Tremi and the monastery that is true - is that the reason?

Yes Andreas, it is the church in Mesogi village.
The name of the hilly area was always Melissovounos as I can remember before any houses were built in that area. (melissa = Greek = honey bee, vounos = mountain. ) The name of the honey I buy from a producer at Marathounda has also the name Melissovounos and is from his properties at Tala.
and is of excellent quality...
