Discover Greece
—a country that has inspired centuries of travel—through its best modern writers. Against a superb landscape of islands, rocks, caves, villages, windmills, vineyards, cities, ports, beaches, and ruins, all bathed in the rich light of the Mediterranean, these twenty four stories draw from the long oral and written evolution of the Greek literary tradition. Incorporating myths, the meditative tranquility of the region, and a past full of struggle and civil war, these stories are arranged by geographical region for the traveler and provide an enriching odyssey
through the Greek landscape and mind.
