Greece city with blue roofs.

Santorini is famous for its cliff side homes which are painted blazing white with deep blue roofs. 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 is a dream island that is the epitome of your greece fantasies white houses blue roofs and windmills. 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.

My first hour in santorini was everything i expected. 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. The houses and building structures are predominantly white some with blue dome roofs accented by beautiful blue skies and overlooking the blue sea. If you are looking for a romantic getaway this is the place.

To actually be there seeing the blue roofs white wash houses and even the donkeys was mind blowing. It s the stereotypical image of greece that is familiar to everyone. Traveling to santorini has become even more popular in recent years. 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.

In sicily truss roofs presumably appeared as early as. But the pictures tell all when you arrive in santorini. 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.

It was picture perfect to say the least.
