Athens. Anafiotika district at the foot of the Acroplis.

"Traditional builders from the poor Cycladic island of Anafi first came to help build Athens in 1860,
settled in this specific part of Plaka and built their own houses in the only way they knew - following every single rule of the local,
traditional Cycladic architecture. The result was and still is small white houses stuck to each other,
narrow little streets, small windows and openings, little yards and miniature porches...
in other words, a genuine Cycladic settlement in the heart of Athens, the biggest city and capital of Greece."
