EDITORS COMMENTS
Metelin, a picturesque village nestled on the hillside of Lesbos, Greece, circa 1905. The village, also known as Mithymna, is situated on the northeastern part of the island, overlooking the Aegean Sea. The image captures the quaint charm of the village with its traditional whitewashed houses clinging to the hillside and the castle ruins perched atop the hill. The castle, a remnant of the island's rich history, stands proudly on the hilltop as a testament to the past. Its fortified walls and towering turrets have weathered the test of time, offering a glimpse into the ancient history of Lesbos. The castle, also known as Molivo or Mytilini Castle, was built in the 13th century and has played a significant role in the island's defense against invaders. The village of Metelin is surrounded by lush greenery and offers breathtaking views of the sea and the surrounding countryside. The houses, with their red-tiled roofs and colorful shutters, are a reflection of the unique architectural style of the region. The village's narrow streets and winding alleys are a delight to explore, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the locals. Metelin is a popular destination for tourists seeking to experience the authentic Greek island life. The village's proximity to the sea and its rich history make it an ideal place to explore the culture and traditions of Lesbos. The image captures the timeless beauty of the village and the sense of tranquility that comes with being surrounded by nature and history.
