Where is the white house on the Aegean Sea?

When thinking of the Aegean Sea and Greece, I believe many people think of the blue sky and sea, as well as the white houses. I remember the first time I came to Greece. When I first set foot on Crete, the largest island in the Aegean Sea, the scenery in front of me really disappointed me. Most of the buildings on the island were still classical houses similar to those in mainland Greece. , rather than the combination of white and blue in my mind. In fact, people have some misunderstandings. They think that when they come to the islands in the Aegean Sea, they can see white houses. This is not necessarily the case. If you have not really come to the Aegean Sea, you will think that the beautiful pictures of white houses everywhere in Greece are just that. It's just a beautiful misunderstanding. Recently, I have been writing a lot of articles about travel to the Aegean Sea. Through tags, I unexpectedly discovered that this beautiful misunderstanding has appeared in countless articles about Greece and Aegean Sea travel, and even many articles introducing Crete. At that time, many beautiful scenes of white houses were described, and many pictures were attached to it that were not Cretan at all, which was inevitably misleading. People are disappointed when they actually come to Crete, so I must use my personal experience here to remind everyone who is interested in going to Greece and the Aegean Sea. White houses are indeed a feature of the Aegean Sea, but they are not found on mainland Greece or on some larger islands. Instead, most of them are scattered on many small islands. The most representative island is Mykonos. Island, in addition to smaller islands such as Santorini, Naxos and Paros. Almost 99% of the photos of white houses that you see in daily life were taken on the islands of Mykonos and Santorini, so if you want to see those rows of white houses, you must go to the islands of Mykonos and Santorini. These two islands are among the many small islands with the most "modern" tourism facilities, with countless hotels, thousands of restaurants, bars, nightclubs and other entertainment venues. Compared with Mykonos and Santorini islands, other small islands such as Naxos and Paros are more rustic and less commercialized, but they are still white huts. Although there are some white houses on Crete, most of them are newly built to attract tourists, but the number is not particularly large, and they lack the original simplicity. From Crete or Athens to Mykonos and Santorini islands, there are frequent ferries every day, which is very convenient. However, if you want to go to other small islands to see the white huts, it is not so convenient. Some islands still operate every day or There is only one boat per week, so you need to plan your trip in advance. Why are all the white houses on some small islands? This is mainly because most small islands in the Aegean Sea lack trees and wood, so all houses are mainly made of stone and mud structures. Due to the lack of wood as roof beams, the houses on these small islands are all flat-roofed. , and they are all built on mountains. In order to prevent the scorching sun from the Aegean Sea, and flat-roofed houses obviously absorb heat easily, all houses were painted white to reflect the sun's heat. As for large islands such as Crete and Lesbos, as well as mainland Greece, there is no shortage of wood, so most houses still use traditional wood and brick structures, and the buildings have a triangular shape. The roof beams on most of these houses are not painted in a special white color, but are basically the original color of the house.
