The House in the Cliff Houses on top of cliffs can be a bit scary but have some pretty stunning views, but would you live in a house inside the side of a cliff?!

A pair of Greek architects have built a terrifyingly beautiful house into the side of a cliff, offering an amazing view from a scary height.

Laertis Antonios Ando Vassiliou and Pantelis Kampouropoulos built the cliff house with a roof-top pool (which is actually at ground level) and underground walls which helps keep the house warm in winter and cool in the summer.

There is no doubt that the home is stunning but would you be brave enough to live in the side of a cliff? Check out the pictures below!

holidays poem

Holidays

Holidays are green like the soft grass and small leaves .

It tastes , like warm chocolate milk in my house .

Smells like the cold fresh air around my face .

It looks like the sun that is bright like me .

Sounds like  popcorn pop pop pop

And it feels like a ice block
