Taken on the rural Greek island of Aegina, this photo overlooks a small portion of the island's landscape, which has undergone significant socio-ecological changes driven by multiple pressures and crises. The photograph was taken from Paleochora, a medieval village built in the 9th century as a refuge for residents during pirate raids, whose remaining churches are now a popular tourist attraction. It depicts Aegina's diverse landscape, where agricultural land, housing, churches and tourist attractions converge. The photograph was taken during fieldwork for research that investigates tourism-driven socio-ecological changes.
