EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the charming sight of a horse-drawn streetcar making its way through the picturesque town of Karlovassi on the Greek island of Samos. Dated back to 1905, this historical tram was not created for commercial use but rather for the distribution of goods within the community. The image transports us back in time, showcasing the unique blend of tradition and modernity that characterized this island town during the early 20th century. Samos, located in the North Aegean Sea, is a beautiful Greek island known for its rich history and natural beauty. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters and boasting a diverse landscape, Samos is a popular destination for travelers seeking a relaxing and authentic Greek experience. The island is situated south of Chios, north of Patmos, and the Dodecanese, and off the coast of Asia Minor. The horse-drawn tram, fondly remembered by the local people as the tram, was a significant part of Karlovassi's history. Its tracks, which can still be seen in parts of the town today, once connected various parts of the community, making transportation more accessible for its residents. The presence of the church in the background adds to the image's charm, highlighting the strong religious traditions that continue to thrive on the island. This photograph is a testament to the unique history and character of Karlovassi and Samos, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the simple pleasures of a bygone era.
