As the sun sinks behind the rugged headlands of Zakynthos, the sky ignites in hues of crimson and amber, reflecting upon the gently rippling sea. A solitary fisherman in a wooden boat adds timeless human presence to this peaceful Ionian evening — a familiar silhouette against nature’s quiet finale.

Printed by M. Toubis of Athens, this postcard offers a mid-to-late 20th-century colour-printed view of “The Cape. Sunset” (Ακρωτήρι. Ηλιοβασίλεμα). With captions in Greek, English, French, and German, it reflects a cosmopolitan period of Greek island tourism and the international fascination with Zante’s natural charm. Card no. 1524.

In preserving this postcard, one holds a window into Zakynthos’ enduring calm, before mass tourism altered many island coastlines. A treasured addition for collectors of Hellenic travel ephemera, it invites contemplation of slow, sun-drenched days and the fishermen who knew these waters by heart.
