Walking the narrow lanes of the Plaka neighborhood in Athens, one can’t help but notice the variety of colorful, elegant, worn, and graffitied doors of the 19th-century buildings. Efforts to restore and preserve Plaka have been underway for many years. It’s a neighborhood consisting of mostly restored neoclassical buildings sprinkled with neglected ones in the midst of ancient ruins. When I need to escape the clamor of Athens, Plaka offers breathing space away from the hectic pace of the city.

Nice collection again this week. That dark brown one, top right, is my fave.
Thank you, Norm.
Marvelous!
Thank you, Ludwig.
Beautiful doors in Plaka (it has been long ago we were in Athens, so am trying to remember “where” it is) -also saw your earlier post about Plaka. I LOVED almost everything about Athens – except for the traffic! After one day we decided to bring our rental car back because it was too stressful!
Thank you, Jesh. Ha! Driving and parking in Athens is a nightmare. We rent a car only when we are leaving the city for the countryside and return it pronto when back in Athens.

great collection…the first “worn door” is splendidly weathered, its faded redness nicely contrasted with the faded blue
Thank you! I’m partial to the worn red door. If doors could talk…
