As the sun crests the horizon, the Ionian Sea becomes a river of gold, with pine branches gently framing the glow. The silhouetted landscape below evokes stillness and awe — a timeless image of early morning in Zakynthos, also known as Zante, one of Greece’s most storied islands.

This striking photographic postcard is marked “ZANTE – The Dawn” and issued by Mitrelis, Patras. The image is credited to K. Btrelis (Κ. Μπρέλης), who has captured the same theme in multiple variations — each evoking a slightly different mood of Mediterranean serenity. The title appears in five languages on the reverse, indicating the international appeal of Zante’s coastal beauty. Likely printed in the latter half of the 20th century, it carries the rich orange and sepia palette typical of that era’s scenic tourism cards.

Perfect for collectors of Greek landscape ephemera or lovers of Mediterranean light, this card invites quiet reflection and enduring warmth — like the first light of a remembered journey.
