Greece Blue Roofs

To finally cross that dream off my bucket list seems unreal.

Greece blue roofs.

But the pictures tell all when you arrive in santorini. 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. Kastraki itself is an archaeological delight of stone houses with red tiled roofs adorned with flowers. 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 list of ancient roofs comprises roof constructions from greek and roman architecture ordered by clear span roof constructions increased in clear span as greek and roman engineering improved. Traveling to santorini has become even more popular in recent years. Most buildings in classical greece were covered by traditional prop and lintel constructions which often needed to include interior colonnades. The blue roof or doors and windows was a law dated back a long time ago from the metaxa area ordering the islands to have once color for better aesthetics since it everyone was putting different colors on their houses.

Its location right under the towering pinnacles is tranquil and otherworldly. Oia is one of the most photogenic spots in all of greece. The houses and building structures are predominantly white some with blue dome roofs accented by beautiful blue skies and overlooking the blue sea. My dream since i have seen pictures of greece was to go to santorini.

It is a dream island that is the epitome of your greece fantasies white houses blue roofs and windmills. Follow the path down and here are the blue domes. In sicily truss roofs presumably appeared as early as. If you are looking for a romantic getaway this is the place.

Oia is a photographer s dream. It wasn t until 1967 when a military government was in power in greece that the other colors disappeared for good. The surreal feeling i was overcome with is euphoric. 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. From the moment you go up to the mountaintop villages like oia village you are spellbound by the shades of white and blue. Don t miss watching the sunset at oia visiting the many historical sites or exploring the vineyards. There is one thing you should know about santorini you don t choose your hotel based on how fancy it is you choose it according to which one has the best sunset view.

Santorini santorini is perched on the edge of a submerged volcano overlooking a stunning caldera. Blues skies blue seas and white buildings which reflect the light. Santorini is famous for its cliff side homes which are painted blazing white with deep blue roofs.
