Greek Island Village captured on Black and White analog film Chios, Greece - July 12, 2017: Town square with trees, homes (residential buildings), shops, and traditional outdoors tavernas (where people use to spend time drinking coffee and ouzo, and chatting) in the medieval village of Pyrgi (or Pirgi or in Greek: Πυργί) on the Greek Island of Chios in the Aegean Sea. The image was captured on grainy (ISO 400) black and white analogue film by a 35 mm old-fashioned film camera. Pyrgi is part of a group of villages on Chios called the mastic villages (including Mesta, Olympia, Armolia, Vessa, and other villages) because they produced and traded mastic gum from mastic trees. These villages have been added in the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of UNESCO. The Pyrgi village stands out from the other mastic villages because its houses are decorated with motifs in different traditional shapes. The decorative motifs in the facade of the houses are called "Xistà". The houses of the mastic villages are build side-by-side to each-other originally forming the outer wall of a castle with only a few entrances that were closed by gates at night, and when pirates approached the village. The streets are very narrow, and most of them are covered with arches and vaults. The streets form a maze to slow down any enemy that managed to enter the gates and ease the defence of the most important buildings located in the center of the village. The image is part of a series of black and white analogue photographs of picturesque Greek Island Villages on the Island of Chios. black and white stock pictures, royalty-free photos & images
