Anafiotika, Cycladic neighborhood at the northern slope of Acropolis, Greece.
White cubic houses with thick walls line the narrow cobblestone paths that wind up the northeastern side of the Acropolis hill.
The settlement emerged in the 1840s when construction workers from Anafi island came to Athens during King Otto's reign to build his palace.
The architecture mirrors the building style of Cycladic islands, with small rectangular structures, white walls, and blue-painted wooden shutters.
The neighborhood contains 45 residences that cannot be sold to private buyers but only inherited or transferred to the Greek government.
The houses lack formal street addresses and are numbered sequentially as Anafiotika 1, Anafiotika 2, following the traditional village system.
