Greece Unfiltered

From Athens' concrete sprawl to Milos' impossible blues, these images document a place of stark contrasts and unapologetic authenticity. No filters, no setups—just honest moments taken in a land where ancient and modern collide daily on street corners scented with exhaust fumes, coffee, and hope.
