EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque beauty of Espiscopio, a charming fishing village located on the eastern coast of the Greek island of Syros. Dated back to 1904, the image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the quaint stone houses with colorful shutters and wrought-iron balconies that line the narrow streets. The village's name, Espiscopio, translates to "bishopric" in English, reflecting its historical significance as the former residence of the Orthodox bishops of Syros. The photograph also highlights the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea, which laps gently against the rocky shoreline. Fishing boats, some with their sails furled, are moored at the water's edge, while a few fishermen can be seen mending their nets or preparing their catch. The peaceful scene is further enhanced by the tranquil atmosphere, with only the gentle sound of waves crashing against the shore and the occasional call of seagulls breaking the silence. Espiscopio's rich history and natural beauty have made it a popular destination for travelers seeking an authentic Greek island experience. Today, the village has grown into a vibrant community, with many of its traditional houses restored and transformed into holiday homes and boutique hotels. Despite its growth, however, Espiscopio remains a charming and unspoiled corner of the Mediterranean, where visitors can still experience the authentic Greek way of life.
