Greece-1976: Clock Tower By The Sea At The Port Of A Small Village

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit

Serves 1970s Mediterranean travel documentaries, Greece tourism histories, and editorial productions needing authentic period footage of a coastal port landmark.

Period detail

Stone clock tower, mid-1970s automobile silhouettes parked on a harbor quay, palm trees, and handheld 8mm framing indicate a Greek coastal town circa 1976.

Home-movie behavior

A tourist's slow pan from a landmark tower across the harbor captures the unhurried curiosity of a visitor documenting a Greek port stop.

What appears in frame

Stone multi-story clock tower, palm tree, arcaded stone building at base, calm harbor water, quay promenade, parked cars, a pedestrian, and twin lighthouse pillars at a breakwater entrance.

Film character

Characteristic 8mm grain, a slight blue-cool color cast, vignetting at frame edges, and soft rendering of distant harbor elements give the footage an authentic mid-1970s home-movie texture.

Edit role

Works as an establishing cutaway for a Mediterranean travel sequence or a period-correct insert establishing Greece in the 1970s before a coastal village-life scene.

Historical context

The promenade, parked cars, and pedestrian pace reflect everyday Greek coastal town life in the mid-1970s, before mass package tourism reshaped such Mediterranean ports.

Research note

At least one adult pedestrian is visible on the quay; assess likeness rights before commercial use; the tower is a public landmark but location-specific legal requirements may apply.
