Metelin Harbour, Lesbos, Greece (circa 1910s): A Timeless Greek Seaside Scene This evocative photograph captures the picturesque harbour of Metelin on the beautiful Greek island of Lesbos. The image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of fishing and boat building were the primary sources of livelihood for the local community. The photograph shows a tranquil bay, with the crystal-clear waters gently lapping against the shores. The harbour is bustling with activity, with traditional Greek fishing boats moored alongside the quay. The boats, with their distinctive curved hulls and colourful sails, are a testament to the rich maritime history of Lesbos. In the foreground, a group of local fishermen are busy mending their nets, while in the background, a man can be seen rowing a boat out to sea. The sun is setting, casting a warm golden glow over the scene, and the silhouettes of the mountains in the distance add to the sense of serenity and peace. Metelin harbour was once a thriving centre of trade and commerce, with ships from all over the Mediterranean coming to its shores to trade in wine, olive oil, and other local produce. Today, it remains a popular destination for tourists, who come to experience the unique charm of this beautiful Greek island and its rich cultural heritage. This photograph is a reminder of the timeless beauty of the Greek islands and the simple pleasures of life by the sea. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the natural beauty of the world around us and to cherish the memories of the past.
