      It's a Mediterranean style, you can find it also in Marseilles France, Morocco, Algiers and other cities in Algeria, in my town it's in bluegreen color, and also in Sidi Boursaid and Djerba in Tunisia. I recommend the last two cities for you Gabriel to discover and review then you can also visit Carthage in your way.

    To me this looks like the perfect destination for a 1-2 week summer vacation in the greek islands: low key, laidback, nature a its purest albeit a little barren but man that
    room looks so cozy, who could ask for more? i would spend time there in a heartbeat as opposed say to go to a place like Las Vegas yak!

      @nicolaskottis5245 6 років тому +12

      Actually craftsmen from Anafi island made this little village called "Anafiotika" in Plaka, under the Acropolis, in order to have a place to stay in Athens. They were employed by the first king of independent Greece, king Otto, in order to build his palace in Athens, in Syntagma square, which now houses the Greek Parliament.

    Many, many years ago I was offered a job on the island of Hydra. To my eternal regret I never took it. Leonard Cohen lived on Hydra for nine years. No cars only mules. A beautiful harbour. Famous for the 1950s movie "Boy on a Dolphin" with Sophia Loren. Have you been there or do you plan to visit? I would love to see a video of you roaming around that particular island.

    1985 war ich auf Anafi. Damals gab es weder ein Hotel noch Guesthouse. Wir haben beim Bürgermeister und seiner Frau , in einem Ziegenstall geschlafen. Die beiden hatten ein Kafenion. Im Hafen gab es ein Lokal und eine Bar. Oben in der Chora war nochmals ein Lokal, dass war alles zu der Zeit. Es war wunderschön und ich werde die Zeit nie vergessen.

    Heya Gabe! Love your channel and your videos! Keep up the good work! There's a neighboorhood located in Plaka, Athens called Anafiotika. It was built and took its name by the old Anafian construction workers who arrived in the area back in mid 19th century due to the refurbishment of King Othon's Palace. And this neighborhood looks much like Anafi.
