EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Villa at Kifissia, Greece, stands proudly against the backdrop of the azure Aegean Sea. Located in one of the most exclusive suburbs of northern Athens, Kifissia, or Kephisia as it was once known, became a desirable destination for wealthy Athenian families seeking respite from the city's summer heat. The area's allure was further enhanced by the keen social competition that ensued, leading to the creation of a unique architectural ambiance. The influence of Egypt's ancient grandeur can be seen in the villa's design, with its intricate columns, ornate detailing, and grandiose scale. The Egyptian Revival style was popular in Greece during the early 20th century, reflecting the country's rich cultural heritage and its enduring fascination with the ancient world. The villa's facade is adorned with intricate carvings and motifs, evoking the grandeur of Egypt's Pharaonic past. Nestled amidst lush greenery, the villa's serene setting offers a stark contrast to the bustling streets of Athens. The villa's expansive gardens, filled with exotic plants and flowers, provide a tranquil retreat for its inhabitants. The villa's proximity to the sea adds to its allure, offering breathtaking views of the Aegean and the nearby islands. This photograph, taken in 1919, captures a moment in time when Greece's opulent past intersected with its modern present. The villa at Kifissia stands as a testament to the enduring influence of Greece's ancient heritage on its contemporary architecture and culture. The villa's timeless beauty continues to captivate visitors to this day, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of opulence and grandeur.
