From the Instagrammable wooden doors on the cliffs of Santorini and Mykonos to the old blue and white doors of the Cyclades, every door in Greece has a story to tell. Maybe this is because of the ever-present background of the Mediterranean Sea. Or maybe it is the Greek sun, or the thought of the hospitable Greek family behind the door, waiting for you with a warm dish of pastitsio or moussaka, that makes the door so beautiful. In this article, we explore Greece’s most beautiful doors and what they tell us about the people and history of the place.

Naxos is one of the Cycladic islands, just 100 nautical miles from Athens’s port. The Cycladic islands are some of the best islands for vacationing in Greece because they are in the middle of the Aegean Sea. Naxos island is the largest in the Cyclades group.

Poros Island is a small island in the Saronic Gulf in Greece. It is known for having pine forests, peace and quiet, and an old charm that only a Poros vacation can give you. Other islands in this area include Hydra, Aegina, and Spetses. Poros should not be confused with Paros, an island in the Cyclades. Note that Poros Kefalonia is also a different destination -- it is not an island but is a town on the island of Kefalonia. The island of Poros is made up of two smaller islands: Sferia and Kalavria. If you look at a Poros Greece map, you will see that both sides are connected with a bridge. Kalavria was first dedicated to the god Apollo, and the island is known for its fresh springs and streams. Sferia is smaller and has today’s Poros town.

You might think from Instagram that Santorini is exclusively villages with white and blue houses and picture-perfect sunsets. However, if you go south from Oia and Fira, the most touristed towns in Santorini, you will find the ruined city of Akrotiri. In this article's cover photo, the Minoan fresco depicts a fleet of ships visiting the ancient Akrotiri. The name Akrotiri actually refers to a small town in the south of Santorini with the same name. The original name of the town of Akrotiri is a mystery.
