Lesbos (Metelin), Greece - The Port: A Glance into the Past This evocative photograph captures the picturesque port of Metelin, Lesbos, Greece, circa 1910s. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this beautiful island in the Aegean Sea. Metelin, a quaint fishing village, is nestled on the northwestern coast of Lesbos, a Greek island located in the northeastern Aegean Sea. The village is known for its stunning natural beauty, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant fishing community. In this photograph, we see the quayside teeming with activity, as fishermen unload their catch from their boats and mingle with locals and travelers. The port of Metelin is a testament to the island's long maritime history. The Turkish coastline can be seen in the background, a reminder of the complex and intertwined histories of Greece and Turkey. The photograph also reveals the unique architectural style of the buildings along the quay, with their colorful facades and traditional wooden balconies. This image offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing us with a sense of the daily life and traditions of the people of Metelin during the early 20th century. The photograph's timeless beauty and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of images documenting the history and culture of Greece and the Aegean region.
