This photograph, taken in September 1905, showcases the Palace Hotel at New Phalerum in Athens, Greece. The Palace Hotel, an elegant and luxurious establishment, was a popular destination for travelers seeking to explore the ancient wonders of the city and the beauty of the Greek coastline. Located on the waterfront of the Phaleron Bay, the hotel offered breathtaking views of the Saronic Gulf and the distant mountains. The image captures the hotel's grandeur, with its whitewashed façade, red-tiled roof, and tall, arched windows. The lush gardens surrounding the hotel add to its allure, creating a serene and idyllic setting. In the background, the ruins of ancient Athens can be seen, a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the area. The Aktaion, a small fishing village, is also visible in the distance, adding to the charm of the scene. The Palace Hotel at New Phalerum was a symbol of modernity and luxury in early 20th century Athens. It provided a comfortable and convenient base for visitors to explore the ancient sites, such as the Acropolis and the Parthenon, as well as the vibrant local markets and the bustling port. The hotel's proximity to the waterfront allowed guests to enjoy the Mediterranean climate and the crystal-clear waters of the Saronic Gulf. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Athens was a popular destination for travelers seeking adventure, history, and relaxation. The Palace Hotel at New Phalerum remains an iconic landmark in the city's rich and diverse history.
