Greek City White Buildings Blue Roofs
It was picture perfect to say the least.
Greek city white buildings blue roofs. Personally i prefer the right one since it bypasses an ugly roof that gets in the way of your picture. If you prefer here are the gps coordinates of the place where i took the photos. Caperchampion 30 10 2010 16 58. Many structures built into the side of the mountaintop make for interesting views as you walk through the little village filled with shops and tavernas.
We had transportation from the airport to our hostel and as soon as we got in the car greek music was playing and the sun was rising in the distance. In contrast church domes were already painted blue in most of the cases. Mykonos town is a party animals paradise combined with the classic blue and white of scenic greek towns. Crete greece santorini santorini is perched on the edge of a submerged volcano overlooking a stunning caldera.
To actually be there seeing the blue roofs white wash houses and even the donkeys was mind blowing. Thinking that the blue and white showed unification and supported their political agenda this government mandated that all buildings must be repainted in blue and white if they weren t already. It s the stereotypical image of greece that is familiar to everyone. It is a dream island that is the epitome of your greece fantasies white houses blue roofs and windmills.
If you are looking for a romantic getaway this is the place. Don t miss watching the sunset at oia visiting the many historical sites or exploring the vineyards. I ve seen photos of beautiful blue and white buildings in greece with domed roofs. Santorini is famous for its cliff side homes which are painted blazing white with deep blue roofs.
So after some decades the blue and white combination along with the preexisting colors of the greek flag and the preexisting colors in other islands too became the strongest trademark of the greek cycladic islands santorini included. One of greece s main attractions is the iconic cycladic landscapes with their dazzling white walls sugar cube buildings blue domes sculptural walls narrow alleys pretty chapels and shimmering azure seas. Follow the path down and here are the blue domes. Are there any like this near athens or are they mainly located on the greek islands.
My first hour in santorini was everything i expected. Traveling to santorini has become even more popular in recent years.
