Greece Blue Roofs

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.

Greece blue roofs.

From the moment you go up to the mountaintop villages like oia village you are spellbound by the shades of white and blue. Santorini is famous for its cliff side homes which are painted blazing white with deep blue roofs. If you prefer here are the gps coordinates of the place where i took the photos. It wasn t until 1967 when a military government was in power in greece that the other colors disappeared for good.

To finally cross that dream off my bucket list seems unreal. 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. Blues skies blue seas and white buildings which reflect the light. To actually be there seeing the blue roofs white wash houses and even the donkeys was mind blowing.

Oia is one of the most photogenic spots in all of greece. Santorini santorini is perched on the edge of a submerged volcano overlooking a stunning caldera. Don t miss watching the sunset at oia visiting the many historical sites or exploring the vineyards. The surreal feeling i was overcome with is euphoric.

Most buildings in classical greece were covered by traditional prop and lintel constructions which often needed to include interior colonnades. It is a dream island that is the epitome of your greece fantasies white houses blue roofs and windmills. But the pictures tell all when you arrive in santorini. Oia is a photographer s dream.

Well i accomplished this dream. 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. Follow the path down and here are the blue domes.

If you are looking for a romantic getaway this is the place. Its location right under the towering pinnacles is tranquil and otherworldly. Personally i prefer the right one since it bypasses an ugly roof that gets in the way of your picture. In sicily truss roofs presumably appeared as early as.

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. It s the stereotypical image of greece that is familiar to everyone. 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.
