Do you want to discover the natural and cultural treasures of four of the most extraordinary Greek islands-from an expert? Then this is the book for you!
(This is the black and white edition. Look also for the color edition and the other books in the series.)
This is not just another Greek islands travel guide.
In this book, you will embark on a journey through a captivating travel narrative, enriched with a vast collection of black and white photographs accompanied by concise historical and architectural explanations. Discover both the renowned and hidden treasures of four of the most extraordinary islands in Greece.
These four islands form a geographical entity and can be explored together. They are also where the ancient Greeks believed Aeolus, the god of the winds, resided-an appropriate choice, as this is one of the windiest regions in Greece, offering the advantage of pleasantly cool summers.
AndrosAndros is not among the most famous or frequently visited Greek islands. And yet, it deserves far more attention, as its hidden beauties far exceed the obvious ones.
Among other wonders, you will discover:
One of the most stunning neoclassical ensembles in Greece
Historic monasteries
Beautiful villages
A landscape of waterfalls and astonishing greenery-a rarity in the arid Cyclades
The island's great naval tradition, which earned it the nickname Little England
As the last Venetian possession in the Aegean, Tinos was the final bastion of the Western world in the Eastern Mediterranean. It is a land of extraordinary cultural treasures, set against an exceptional landscape. The church of the Virgin Mary in its port became Greece's most important pilgrimage site, leaving the treasures of its hinterland largely unknown to the wider public.
Among other marvels, you will discover:
Medieval settlements
Monumental churches
Picturesque chapels
Monasteries that housed internationally renowned schools
Artistic dovecotes
The island's renowned marble craftsmanship, inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity
World-famous Mykonos-despite its intense tourist activity-has surprisingly preserved its beauty and its iconic, picturesque charm.
DelosAnd finally, the tiny, uninhabited island of Delos is one of the most important mythological, historical, and archaeological sites in all of Greece.
Although these treasures are presented through a hiking tour, you don't need to be a hiker to enjoy them. Most of these sites can also be reached by car.
About the AuthorThe author holds a Ph.D. in Architectural History from the National Technical University of Athens and a Master's in Heritage Preservation from the École de Chaillot in Paris. He is a professor at the University of the Peloponnese, where he teaches these subjects. He is also a passionate cultural hiker.
His travel books, primarily focused on Greece, are written for readers with a deep interest in cultural heritage. To help you better understand and remember these sites, his books take the form of a guided tour, interwoven with encounters with fascinating people and personal travel experiences-allowing you to organize your own trip beyond the usual tourist clichés.
