House Wine, Near Anafiotika, Athens

The house wine near Anafiotika, Athens

Waiting for lunch on a very hot June day. The house wine kept me company.

In 1922, Greek refugees from Asia Minor also established in Anafiotika, altering the population that was up to that time only from the Cycladic islands. In 1950, part of this neighborhood was destroyed for archeological research and in 1970 the state started to buy the houses. In the modern era, there are only 45 houses remaining, while the little streets from Stratonos to the Acropolis rock are still unnamed and the houses are referred to as “Anafiotika 1”, “Anafiotika 2”, etc. Source: Wikipedia.
