The postcard of Simi, Greece, evokes the sunlit tranquility of the Dodecanese Islands. You can almost hear the gentle lapping of the Aegean waves against the fishing boats in the harbour, while the golden-hued buildings climb the rocky hillside, crowned by the timeless silhouette of a Greek Orthodox church. This scene speaks of simpler times, where life moved slower, and the charm of the island was its authenticity. For collectors, this postcard captures a rare moment when Simi was relatively untouched by the influx of mass tourism, a serene snapshot of a bygone era.
The muted palette of sun-soaked whites and blues, offset by the rocky terrain, draws you into the postcard, making you feel as though you’re standing on the hillside, the Mediterranean breeze tousling your hair. It transports you to a place where the past and present converge seamlessly—the smell of salt air mingling with the aroma of fresh seafood and wild herbs. For someone who has been to Simi, it is a tangible reminder of its charm, and for those who haven’t, it’s an invitation to dream of wandering its narrow paths and taking in the beauty of its architecture.
This postcard becomes more than just an image; it’s a relic of a moment in time. It reflects the photographer’s gaze, capturing Simi’s essence and distilling it into a mailable work of art. For those who cherish travel, history, and Greek culture, this is a piece of escapism, offering a glimpse into a Mediterranean idyll, framed perfectly within the borders of this card.
