Greece is glorious - sun, sea, sand, and almost everything is blue and white. The Greek flag has been blue and white for centuries, in a number of different designs. It's generally thought this refers to the Aegean sea surrounding Greece.
The Greeks certainly adopt the colours with a patriotic verve when designing their houses, boats, furniture, motorbikes and lots more.
But then, occasionally, you come across a house not painted blue and white, but green, or red, or purple. Are these Greek houses? Or maybe Italians, Turks, or Albanians live in them? And what do the Greek neighbours say?

Fantastic photos Adrian, I was looking at all these on Flickr last night, the colours are incredible!
Am also quite jealous that you're in Greece and I'm stuck here in London!
Oh, I'm not in Greece anymore. I'm back in London. It's grey! Hurrah.
Oh wow--my desire to go to Greece has just skyrocketed. Gorgeous. I agree with the first comment--the colors are amazing.
