✨ in Greek mythology, the deer is sacred to the goddess Artemis, symbolizing her wild and independent nature, and her role as protector of the natural world.

Around the world, the deer is considered King of the Forest. The red deer, Cervus elafus, once widespread throughout Greece, is now a critically endangered species. When we featured the red deer of Greece in Portes years ago, Dr. Maragou of WWF Greece said “habitat deterioration and fragmentation as a result of intensified agriculture, settlement expansion, and disturbance are threats that curtail the possibility of the remaining isolated deer population to expand.” Since the interview, so much of this already limited habitat was burnt.

Every year in Greece, these beautiful creatures and more suffer from human negligence. This is the sad truth.

We hope this note spreads awareness and promotes the respect of the earth.

The videos by .mavropoulou were taken this week in the area of Krioneri in Attica, in the part that was burned by the wildfire on 26/07/25.

✨ We cannot get enough of the unique doors of Athens—each with so many human stories to tell!

Popular in the post-war decades of the 50s-70s, the art of ironwork functioned both as a decorative touch and safety measure. These handcrafted grilles combined traditional motifs with modern aesthetics.

✨ Stepping back in time to the sun-bleached alleys of 1950s Mykonos, as seen through the lens of Portes-featured photographer Robert McCabe.

These black-and-white photographs capture a Greece untouched by mass tourism — a quiet Cycladic island where life moved slowly, dictated by the rhythm of the sea and the seasons. Fishermen mend their nets, children play barefoot in cobbled streets, and whitewashed homes stand luminous against the Aegean sky.

McCabe’s images are more than nostalgic—they're windows into a vanished simplicity, where beauty lived in the everyday.

✨ UNESCO added the Minoan Palaces on Crete to the World Heritage List in a historical decision recognizing the sites’ longstanding archaeological significance. The six Minoan palace centers added follow the decision by the World Heritage Committee during its 47th session announced July 12th.

The sites include Knossos, Phaistos, Malia, Zakros, Zominthos and Kydonia, all key centers of the Bronze Age Minoan civilization, which flourished between 2800 and 1100 BCE.

✨ The island of Milos in the Aegean Sea is known, among other things, for its strikingly clear blue waters. One of the most exotic of the Cycladic islands, Milos is host to a lunar landscape of volcanic formations.

✨ “The inspiration in photographing Greece comes from an inate need to embrace and capture the rhythm of the passing of the years. For example, I imagine the same poppies growing around the same temples under the blue skies, some 2000 years ago. Spring was as beautiful and celebrated then as is now.

I love to capture the immortal, that which can only be explained in my mind and soul but not easily described in words. Only the great Greek poets and Henry Miller in his Colossus of Maroussi, have the right words to describe the excitement I feel when I capture that which pleases my soul.

There are moments when walking around Greece when the aethereal takes form and becomes visible and can be photographed and be cherished.”
