Leg of Nike Door Knocker

Being in Greece is like being in a whitewashed dream with splashes of pastel colors and raw stone to dance on. I had the pleasure of doing a little island hopping while there, visiting Kos, Symi, Rhodes and Patmos.  This painting of the leg of Nike is an actual door knocker we saw on Patmos, said to be the island where St. John wrote the Book of Revelations from inside a cave while in exile. As you walk through the village, directly below the island’s most extensive monastery, you will see colorfully painted doors with ornate door knockers along with black and white stone inlays in the path.  These little touches of artistic expression caught my eye and made visiting Greece even more dreamy.  Do you have an intriguing door knocker for your home?
