Well since the previous post “A nice sunset” had comments saying you guys want more, i am doing just that. Sifnos is an island located in the cyclads, Greece. It is a classical cyclad island with mountains and narrow roads. Ofcourse, magestic places and extra friendly and hospital people is the main feature. So in the gallery, here, you can find pictures from my last trip there. God i miss it!
Excellent buddy… Saw all the photos! What is Panagia Chrisopigi – Is it a place or temple ? Why all houses are painted in white @_@ I feel like you captured this pictures from heaven..
Well “Panagia” is Virgin Mary. Chrisopigi is the place. “Panagia Crhisopigi” is the place there (the rock mostly) where the temple is built. There is a wonderfull story behind this Church i might post it some time. In all the islands in Greece the houses are painted white with deep blue windows/doors. It is very nice indeed.
@stratosg – But why are they painted white ? I guess some mythological story is hidden behind this 🙂
well it is the color that absorbs the less sunlight and therefore heat. in the summer, the heat in those islands can reach 35-40 degrees Celsius. Moreover the color combination has become a tradition to all Greek islands.
very cool dude 🙂
thx man… i hope to upload some more some time 🙂
