White buildings with blue roofs in greece.

Follow the path down and here are the blue domes. Yes you may see brad sand and cheese but if you are anything like me the first image that will pop into your head will be of whitewashed walls and bright blue rooftops the classic buildings of greece especially the greek islands and the subject of posters plastered all over the walls of travel agencies around the world. It s the stereotypical image of greece that is familiar to everyone. Santorini is famous for its cliff side homes which are painted blazing white with deep blue roofs.

Traveling to santorini has become even more popular in recent years. 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. Otherwise blue is used to trim doors windows and gates. My first hour in santorini was everything i expected.

Only certain chapels are white with blue domes. If you are looking for a romantic getaway this is the place. The ones in oia are famously shown in photos for advertising the island. To actually be there seeing the blue roofs white wash houses and even the donkeys was mind blowing.

If you prefer here are the gps coordinates of the place where i took the photos. It is a dream island that is the epitome of your greece fantasies white houses blue roofs and windmills. Personally i prefer the right one since it bypasses an ugly roof that gets in the way of your picture. Don t miss watching the sunset at oia visiting the many historical sites or exploring the vineyards.

You will find these blue domed chapels all around the island in fira imerovigli oia and elsewhere.
