Greek city white buildings blue roofs.

My first hour in santorini was everything i expected. Are there any like this near athens or are they mainly located on the greek islands. Santorini is famous for its cliff side homes which are painted blazing white with deep blue roofs. It was picture perfect to say the least.

It is a dream island that is the epitome of your greece fantasies white houses blue roofs and windmills. In contrast church domes were already painted blue in most of the cases. 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.

The houses and building structures are predominantly white some with blue dome roofs accented by beautiful blue skies and overlooking the blue sea. It s the stereotypical image of greece that is familiar to everyone.

Personally i prefer the right one since it bypasses an ugly roof that gets in the way of your picture. Follow the path down and here are the blue domes. 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. Don t miss watching the sunset at oia visiting the many historical sites or exploring the vineyards.

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. It wasn t until 1967 when a military government was in power in greece that the other colors disappeared for good.
