Santorini is the supermodel of the Greek islands, a head-turner whose face is instantly recognizable around the world: multicolored cliffs soar out of a sea-drowned caldera, topped by drifts of whitewashed buildings. With its reputation for dazzling panoramas, romantic sunsets, and volcanic-sand beaches, it’s hardly surprising the island features on so many travelers’ bucket lists.
Why are houses in Santorini white?
The white color reflects the biggest part of the dazzling light, preventing the houses from getting warm and that is a basic goal of the traditional architecture. Making the houses heat resistant, the summers are much more tolerable and pleasant.
