#GreekFunFactFriday! The iconic white and blue buildings of major Greek cities have many historical and scientific purposes: to reflect the flag's colors, leftover paint from fisherman boats, military dictatorship in the 60s believing it would raise patriotism. And more simply – painting the buildings white cooled down the stone in the summer to make these vacation getaway spots more comfortable and temperate.

It also just makes Greece beautiful and iconic!
