1. Title: "Mandraki Harbour, Rhodes: A Timeless Blend of Ancient History and Modern Charm" 2. Description: This evocative image captures the enchanting beauty and rich history of Mandraki Harbour in Rhodes, Greece, as seen through the lens of photographer Ethel Davies in 2019. The photograph showcases the iconic St. Nicholas Castle and the famous deer statue, which have stood guard at the harbour's entrance since the Knights of St. John occupied the island during the Crusades. The ancient castle, with its distinctive red-tiled roofs and imposing stone walls, adds a sense of history and grandeur to the scene. The deer statue, a symbol of the goddess Artemis, is believed to have been brought to Rhodes in the 3rd century BC and has been a protective guardian of the harbour for centuries. Mandraki Harbour is the largest and oldest harbour on the island of Rhodes, located in the eastern Aegean Sea. It has played a crucial role in the island's history, serving as a strategic military base, a thriving commercial centre, and a popular tourist destination. This stunning photograph offers a glimpse into the captivating blend of ancient Greece and modern charm that makes Rhodes a must-visit destination for travellers from around the world. The vibrant colours of the boats in the harbour, the clear blue waters, and the sun-kissed shores create a breathtaking tableau that is both timeless and timely. Ethel Davies's photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Rhodes and its rich history, inviting us to explore the wonders of this ancient land and discover its many treasures. 3.
