Here is an unusual photograph from French archives of a group of women in traditional dress fetching water from one of the island's three so-called 'pasas' wells in around 1916 This image shows the well in the Mandraki:
These three wells were built in 1860 by the Ottoman pasha Ahmed of Kaiserli to alleviate water shortages on the island. They are still in situ to this day.
