On one of these streets, named after Captain Lahanas (a hero of the Revolution from Samos), I stopped to examine a small house. I might have passed by it if I hadn’t noticed the front door in time. In front of me was a little interwar house, at number 3 Captain Lahanas Street, with the classic artisanal style, its tiles, and that touching simplicity found in neighborhoods. My gaze was captured by the small wooden front door. It was painted in that faded green, which contains white and perhaps yellow, but gave the impression of pistachio, just like the nut inside. It was a door with personality, geometrically designed not by chance, and as I observed it, unexpectedly, the taste of the English countryside came to me. I did not expect to have this association on Captain Lahanas Street in Kato Patissia, but there it was—a door, with clear origins from the Arts and Crafts movement, revealing to me, deep within the neighborhood, the diversity of Athens.
