Most buildings on Greek islands are painted a brilliant white with a rich blue trim, complementing the country's flag, the whiteness of clouds and blue essence of sky and water. On a bright day the white can be a little hard on the eyes but round corners and archways soften the architecture and the buildings blend well with the steep terrain.
Many buildings of diverse use and ownership, angles and elevations make for interesting, photogenic views. In older sections of towns the streets and walkways meander back and forth across the landscape in confusing patterns and it can be difficult to get directions from locals and they will often just choose to walk or drive you to your destination. A good compass and sense of humility are good tools for finding your way.
