Transporting us back to 1821, J. C. Dahl's masterpiece "The Beach at Posillipo" captures the serene beauty of a coastal paradise.

Journeying further through time, Ottoman domination period engravings transport us to Rhodes island where ancient civilizations once thrived along its captivating shores. These depictions serve as windows into a past filled with tales of conquests and cultural exchange. Crossing borders, Portugal beckons with Portinho da Arrabida beach in Setubal - nature's canvas painted with pristine sands embraced by crystal-clear waters. Sintra's Azehas do Mar offers an overview of this charming town nestled amidst rugged cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean – truly a sight worth beholding. Returning to Rhodes island during Ottoman rule, we witness yet another glimpse into its storied past; remnants left behind by those who shaped its destiny stand testament to their enduring legacy.
