Description

This staircase is a detail of a house taken in Tinos Island, Greece.

Cyclades are a complex of islands emerging from the deep blue Aegean Sea. They are considered to be the pearl of the Greek islands, featuring idyllic landscapes that allure visitors from all over the world. Cycladic architecture is famous for its uniqueness and charm, providing the islands with minimal aesthetics. The most prominent characteristic of this architectural style, are the white washed cube houses built next to and on top of one another.

Their aesthetics wasn’t the main purpose for their construction though, since the former inhabitants of the islands were looking for ways to get protected from the strong winter winds and the intense solar exposure during the summers. The style of these smooth-edged traditional houses, derive from the exceptional design of the Cycladic art that flourished back in the 2000 B.C.
