Visitors to the Aegean islands await an endless expanse of shimmering waters combined with unparalleled Greek hospitality. Each island harbors a unique spirit and mythology. From Patmos (a favorite of Aga Khan) to Hydra (which captivated Henry Miller, Leonard Cohen and Sophia Loren), the islands are infused with an alluring sense of history, tradition and adventure. Several films have been filmed on them in recent decades, including Boy on a Dolphin (1957) on Hydra, The Big Blue (1988) on Amorgos and The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants (2005) on Santorini. Thousands of years of inspiration, the ancient ruins, monasteries on the cliffs and volcanic ridges are all unmissable sights.
The author and photographer ventured on an Odyssey of their own, boarding a traditional Greek sailboat to capture the soothing atmosphere, typical characters and breathtaking architecture of these gems of the Aegean. A spectacular journey recreated in the pages of Greek Islands.
The book has 312 pages, is written in English and measures W 24.8 x L 33 x 3.8 cm.
