A colorful square - a photo on Flickriver

A colorful square

When you visit a Cycladic island in Greece, it's a must to find its main town, which we usually call Chora, and wander around its alleys and small streets. Most of the times those little towns are full of souvenir shops, traditional restaurants, coffee places and they absolutely offer a ton of photo opportunities. So I did the same thing in Serifos' chora and I was quite charmed by its beauty. Aside from the castle and it's breathtaking view (I am going to share that view on another pic), i particularly liked its main square. The square is surrounded by the church of Agios Ioannis, which you see at the background, the island's town hall, located on the right and 4-5 coffee shops and restaurants where you can taste various local delicacies. Fan fact about the one you see here, it's named Διθυρα, a word that made no sense to me in Greek so I had to look up what that means only to find that it's an anagram (also considered a local dialect thing) of the word Θυριδα (security box/locker). The main square with the (mostly) white buildings and their colorful windows is a pleasure for the eye, in my opinion.
