Untouched natural beauty 📍Anafi island (Ανάφη) - @cyclades-islands 💙💙

Anafiotika is literally under the Acropolis, it looks like a village in the Cyclades with all the white small houses, and it's because it was built by people from Anafi, the furthest island. In the XIX century, many workers came from there to build a palace for the king (which is the actual Parliament in Syntagma square, i guess) and in Athens they stayed!👷

This place is like a different world inside Athens and a tiny labyrinth at the same time. I wanted to get lost inside so much and finally did it! But it's important not to forget that this is actually just a tiny neighborhood and not a touristic attraction, and there are people inside the houses doing their daily duties. And you can hear them, and they can hear you, so... 🤫

Many houses were abandoned, in ruins or similar. Many passages were so narrow that a corpulent person would have trouble crossing them. And if you have mobility issues... most of the zone is unaccessible.😧
