There are several streets across the world where nature perfectly blends in with the manmade structures and with a little help from locals, these streets become magical, almost like a fairytale. Boredpanda.com, a leading art, design and photography community, asked creative people to send in photographs from the world’s most magical streets shaded by flowers and trees. After 129 submissions and thousands of votes, the results are in and a Greek picturesque street found itself on the top of the list. The street is located in Molyvos, Lesvos, while the picture was submitted by Greek freelance photographer Konstantinos Stamatelis. Molyvos is a place of archeological excavations, medieval memories and golden sunsets in the blue Aegean Sea. The enchanting little village is one of the most beautiful destinations in Greece. It is a traditional settlement that used to be inhabited since the Bronze Age and it was a very important city in ancient times. Meanwhile, a second Greek street that made it on the list is located in Nafplio, Peloponnese. Nafplio operated as an important seaport until the Ottoman Empire. The town was the capital of the First Hellenic Republic and the Kingdom of Greece, from the start of the Greek Revolution in 1821 until 1834.
