EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910s, presents a panoramic view of the picturesque Aklidiou Countryside in Metelin, Lesbos, Greece. At the time this image was captured, the region was still part of the Ottoman Empire, which ruled over much of Turkey and its surrounding territories. The serene landscape is characterized by its rolling hills, verdant fields, and quaint farmhouses nestled among the lush greenery. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rural life of the early 20th century. The traditional Turkish architecture of the farmhouses, with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls, stands in stark contrast to the vibrant green fields and the clear blue sky. The Aklidiou Countryside, located on the eastern coast of Lesbos, was renowned for its fertile soil and agricultural productivity. The region was particularly famous for its production of olives, grapes, and figs. The image evokes a sense of tranquility and simplicity, inviting us to imagine the daily routines of the local farmers and their families as they tended to their lands and livestock. The Ottoman Empire, which ruled over the region until the early 20th century, left a lasting impact on the cultural and architectural landscape of Lesbos and its countryside. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich history and heritage of the region, offering a unique window into the past.
