EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image captured by Ethel Davies in 2003, the enchanting town of Nauplion, also known as Nafplio, in the Peloponnese region of Greece, is showcased in all its timeless beauty. Nestled along the shores of the Argolic Gulf, Nauplion boasts a rich history that spans from ancient Greece to the present day. At the heart of the harbor lies the iconic Bourtzi Castle, a striking fortress that dates back to the Renaissance era. This imposing tower, with its distinctive red-tiled roof and whitewashed walls, has stood guard over the town for centuries, bearing witness to the ebb and flow of history. The vibrant colors of the scene are a testament to the rich tapestry of life that unfolds in this picturesque town. The clear blue waters of the gulf reflect the colors of the buildings and the castle, creating a stunning contrast against the backdrop of the rugged peninsula that forms the Peloponnese. Nauplion, with its labyrinthine streets, quaint cafes, and charming shops, is a popular destination for travelers seeking to explore the wonders of ancient Greece. The town's unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty continues to captivate visitors, making it a must-see location for anyone exploring the Peloponnese. Ethel Davies' photograph offers a glimpse into the past and the present, inviting us to imagine the stories that unfolded within the walls of Bourtzi Castle and the bustling streets of Nauplion. This image is a reminder of the enduring allure of Greece and the beauty that can be found in the smallest of places.
