As the horizon blushes with first light, the silhouette of trees frames a tranquil seascape, where the sun begins its rise over Zakynthos. Known in Venetian as Zante, the island’s peaceful Ionian shores are bathed in warm tones of gold and shadow — an image suspended between night and day.

This evocative postcard, titled simply “Zante – The Dawn”, is part of a multilingual series published in Patras, Greece, by ΜΗΤΡΕΛΗΣ. The photograph is credited to K. Btrelis (Κ. Μπρέλης) and printed likely in the late 20th century, based on its typography and stock. The reverse provides the title in Greek, English, French, German, and Italian, inviting an international audience into this moment of Mediterranean stillness.

More than a view, this card offers a meditation on time, light, and memory — perfect for collectors of Greek landscape postcards or those drawn to the gentle poetics of dawn.
