The Streets of Plakoti Village: Disi and Anatoli
At Plakoti Village, the streets have been thoughtfully named Disi and Anatoli, reflecting the natural beauty and harmony of their surroundings. These names, rooted in the Greek words for “West” (Disi) and “East” (Anatoli), symbolize the rhythm of the sun’s journey across the sky, from sunrise to sunset.
