点评:Athens is the perfect balance of chaos and order and Anafiotika is no exception. The beauty of the island inspired traditional whitewashed homes rise above some of the most amazing and unique street art I've ever witnessed in an urban centre.
The village settlement built in the mid 1800s by construction workers, who came from the island of Anafi (hence Anafioika) to build King Otto's palace. Constructed illegally, the neighborhood grew to create a picturesque village-like landscape under the mighty Acropolis.
The graffiti that adornons the alleyways underneath this makeshift village is an ideal 'gallery' to represent the repression of the working class hero and showcases the rugged beauty of the underbelly of Athens marrying mythological and political expression. The street art is a vibrant and characteristic element of the neighborhood's identity.
Explore this area with time on your hands and a willingness to travel up and down narrow streets and some darkened alley ways with a curiosity. The visual rewards at every twist and turn will inspire awe and amazement.
翻译:雅典在混乱与秩序之间达到了完美的平衡,阿纳菲奥蒂卡也不例外。受岛屿美景启发,传统的白色房屋在城市中心的街头艺术中显得格外引人注目,是我在城市中心见过的最令人惊叹、最独特的街头艺术之一。
这个村庄始建于19世纪中期,由来自阿纳菲岛(故名阿纳菲奥蒂卡)的建筑工人建造,旨在建造奥托国王的宫殿。尽管是非法建造的,但这个社区在雄伟的雅典卫城下发展壮大,形成了风景如画的乡村景观。
在这个临时村庄下方的小巷里,涂鸦点缀着这些涂鸦,如同一个理想的“画廊”,展现了工人阶级英雄所遭受的压迫,并展现了雅典底层的粗犷之美,将神话与政治表达完美地融合在一起。街头艺术是这个街区充满活力且独具特色的元素。
如果您有充足的时间,并愿意带着好奇心在狭窄的街道和昏暗的小巷里穿梭,那么就来探索一下这个地区吧。每次曲折的视觉享受都会让人惊叹不已。
