🏛️ Just a few column shots of our weekend trip to Boston! Hellenic inspiration in downtown Boston, Harvard University and on every street!

Popular in the U.S. between 1825 and 1860, Greek Revival architecture draws inspiration from the harmonious blend of symmetry, proportion, simplicity and elegance found in Ancient Greek temples. British architect James “Athenian” Stuart introduced Greek Revival to the U.K. following his journey to Greece in 1751, publishing a book that was the world’s first reference to Classical Greek architecture. This helped popularize the style beyond Greece and Europe.

A few key characteristics of Greek Revival include columns and pediments, bold moldings, embellishments and a horizontal transom.

Timeless Greek design for all to appreciate!

A soft spoken gentleman with a fancy for simpler days when less was more, introduces us to the world of Neanikon, one that delights visitors with pure cuisine and handcrafted creations of a bygone era.

Part of achieving happiness, the Neanikon founder says, is making the time and space for things that fulfill you. “Make a simple life,” he says. “...don’t demand things that don’t really matter to you... when you create, it’s not even only the things you make, but the process itself makes you feel better.” ✨

Delphi’s sacred grounds are full of votive offerings and some of the most beautifully preserved ancient pieces of art. Discover more in Portes! Get your copy at link in bio. ✨✨✨

🏛️ Featured: The Siphnian Treasury was a building at the Ancient Greek cult centre of Delphi, erected to host the offerings of the polis, or city-state, of Siphnos. It was one of a number of treasuries lining the “Sacred Way”, the processional route through the Sanctuary of Apollo, erected to win the favor of the gods and increase the prestige of the donor polis. It was one of the earlier surviving buildings of this type, and its date remains a matter for debate, with the most plausible date being around 525 BC.

The people of Siphnos had gained enormous wealth from their silver and gold mines in the Archaic period (Herodotus III.57) and used the tithe of their income to erect the treasury, the first religious structure made entirely out of marble. The building was used to house many lavish votive offerings given to the priests to be offered to Apollo.

The Treasury fell to ruins over the centuries, although it stood for much longer than many other monuments, probably due to its decoration which was venerated by the following generations. Currently, the sculpture and a reconstruction of the Treasury are to be seen in the Delphi Archaeological Museum.

“Working on Portes No. 10 has been so much fun – though it is the product of many long nights – one of which I dreamt I was in outer space, surrounded by planets, stars, and... gracefully floating Cycladic figurines – a focal point for this issue.

The feeling was pleasant and peaceful, and space was full of mesmerizing colors. When I woke up, I thought I should somehow share part of this dream in Portes No. 10, and thus, one of our covers was created.

This colorful collage pays tribute to the mysterious Cycladic culture and art, and to our creative spirit.» - Portes Magazine Editor Anthe Mitrakos

Featured is “Cycladica” cover by Portes Editor Anthe Mitrakos + limited edition post cards.

Portes No. 10 features four beautiful, numbered, limited edition collectible covers – only 250 copies each! 120 pages full color coffee table publication. Made in Greece, with Love. ✨🤍🧿

As featured in Portes Magazine Greece A soft spoken gentleman with a fancy for simpler days when less was more, Aris Sotiriou introduces us to the world of Neanikon, one that delights visitors with pure cuisine and handcrafted creations of a bygone era. Just like the black and white romantic comedy film, the setting at Sotiriou’s home invokes the nostalgia of simpler times. Creating a cocktail mix of the vintage and the modern, Sotiriou took the word "νεανικός" (youthful) and added the suffix "ον" (an archaic linguistic formality used in Athenian shop names of the past) to create his brand "Νεανικόν." Neanikon’s vintage aesthetic, filtered through a modern lens, brings out a whimsical nostalgia for handmade goods and recipes crafted with meraki. Part of achieving happiness, the Neanikon founder says, is making the time and space for things that fulfill you. "Make a simple life," he says. "...don’t demand things that don’t really matter to you... when you create, it’s not even only the things you make, but the process itself makes you feel better." #neanikon #handcrafted #creations #Greece #GreekArtist #nostalgia #portesmagazine
