Bathed in crisp Hellenic light, this serene seascape of Aegina opens through a natural frame of pine boughs to reveal calm waters, scattered sailboats, and distant hills. The image radiates the gentle rhythm of Greek island life, with summer foliage and cobalt seas evoking the essence of an Ionian escape. Printed in rich colour with a photographic finish, it embodies the holiday dreams of the 1980s traveller.

Published as part of The Greek Gallery – Island Collection, this card was posted in May 1989, bearing a 60 Drachma stamp and addressed to the UK. The photograph is credited to Telis Nahmias, a known name in Greek travel imagery. On the reverse, a personal message recounts the arrival in Greece, sleepless nights, and swimming amongst jellyfish — capturing the candid charm of analogue travel storytelling.

Beyond its visual appeal, this piece represents a moment in time when postcards were still intimate souvenirs and keepsakes, mailed across Europe with care. Its generous size, dated postmark, and handwritten details lend it both aesthetic and emotional resonance for collectors of Greek memorabilia, late 20th-century ephemera, or vintage travel photography.
