Although Agistri is a traditional small island with traditional houses and little gardens at their back, there are some remarkable styles when it comes to bigger buildings, such as churches or mansions. In these exponents, the Byzantine style is predominating.
In fact, the many hotels available in the area try to emulate the features of this period, not only in order to offer visitors a beautiful environment that well worthies to take a couple of pictures, but also to go with the general vibe of the wealthiest construction of the island.
The Byzantine style, which influenced the art of most Greek islands in terms of sculptures and paintings, started in the 7th century, in the Hellenistic world, and had a deep influence on medieval culture. The first Golden Age started in that century, and during that period, the greatest architectural works were performed. This feature was due to the superior techniques that were implemented, as well as to the materials that were used.
For example, Bricks and the stones were used for exterior coverings from the Roman and Oriental Early-Christian world, as well as the classic column as a support, among others.

Γεια σου Αγνή, πολύ όμορφο το σοκάκι με τα πυθάρια και εξαιρετική η καταγραφή σου με πολύ καλό φωτισμό και χρώματα. Υπέροχη η ματιά σου. Σε χαιρετώ,
Κώστας.
