Circa: 1961
Condition: Used on Fragment.
Notes:
The Temple of Poseidon, built in the 5th century BCE, was an important maritime landmark for Athenian sailors. This 1961 issue symbolized Greece’s connection to the sea and the endurance of its ancient architectural legacy, a recurring motif in postwar Greek philately.
