Ottoman architectural traces

Due to their privileged site the islands in the Aegean Sea have been desirable targets of continuous and exceptional occupational pursuits since Prehistoric times till the 20th century when they were eventually annexed to the Greek territory, One of the most prolonged occupation was that of the Ottomans that left behind significant traces especially in architecture.

In the photo one such islamic architectural construction is quite obvious in the house facade. The majority of those are being saved and preserved till today.
