I'm trying to figure out if there is a specific name for the beautiful and unique homes that the Greeks live in. Here is a picture of them: http://www.leekauyan.edu.hk/cheungkokchung/greece/greece_19.JPG
Are they called adobes? If anyone can answer my question, I'd really appreciate it!

maximum of embassies propose human beings to no longer shuttle to places like Greece, Somalia or Yemen in such circumstances, and is the possibility the placement could desire to amplify and occupy the airport as a manner to make their voices heard. i might suspect the islands could desire to no longer be affected as in Athens working example, inspite of the undeniable fact that it consistently takes a small team those with 'problems' to impression the travelers' existence. shop an eye fixed on the information and homestead place of work internet website.

I've seen this picture; it is from Santorini in the Aegean and this this the typical island house with no specific name. If the house is curved in the volcanic ash-rock, they are called ipóskafa, which means "curved into the rock".
However, if you enter the "www.houseplans.com" you will see that Adobe style is very similar and it mainly applies at a similar climate zone, in Mexico.

If its a larger house in a resort area they sometimes call it a villa.
Just like in Italian.
