Description "Set in the shadow of the Acropolis and often compared to the whitewashed villages of rural Greek islands, the Anafiotika quarter is populated by many descendants of the Anafi stonemasons who arrived from that small island in the 19th century to work in the expanding capital. It remains an enchanting area of simple stone houses, many nestled right into the bedrock, most little changed over the years, others stunningly restored." (Extract for www.fodors.com)


Three shots (-2,0,2) processed in Photomatix and Photoshop

wow! I would love to walk right there, touch the walls with my finger tips, look ahead and look up. So pretty and so much like a painting. It's very clean and the white so clear, it's obviously a very well taken care of quarter

GiardQatar In reply to nerrinb [2014-01-25 14:09:58 +0000 UTC]

Indeed, touch the walls while walking in the area.  Exactly what I did.  The place is charming, some areas are very well taken care of, some others a bit less, think of the area full of graffitis.  Nevertheless, a unique moment.


Thanks for the comment Nerrin … always appreciated …

(I'm Greek, but I've never been in Athens yet -.-' Still there are so many beautiful spots here and not only in our islands)

La Gran Grecia: Vapuleada por el maldito orden económico mundial, pero no pierde ni una pieza de su esplendor.

Me encantó esta foto, y su combinación de colores y arquitectura autóctona. Algún día conoceré ese maravilloso país.
