Doors as features
Functional they may be, but doors, like gates, are a point of introduction to a building and, seen close up by visitors, have long been more than a way to keep out draughts and intruders. Door styles, materials, colour and surrounds, reflect not only the period of the building and skill of the designer, but the personality and possibly the status of the owner.
Greek postcards, paintings and calenders featuring doors abound, but most feature traditional wooden painted doors; so this page also features some wrought iron and glass doors which are very common in Greece at present but beginning to disappear.
Visitors to Andreas' Restaurant on the upper road, one of Methoni's two main streets, can see a display of the work of artist Artist - Robert Doling . Robert has made a series of paintings featuring Methoni doors
