The Most Beautiful Villages of Greece
photographs by Hugh Palmer

From the Most Beautiful Villages series.

The very essence of Greece is conjured up in the flat roofed white houses of the Cyclades, startling against the blue sky and Aegean Sea.

This lovely book follows a journey which takes in the mountains of the mainland, where villages characterised by flowers and running water, stone-walled ground floors and overhanging wood-framed balconies betray a Turkish influence. It begins however in the Southern Peloponnese, where the tower houses were built by families warring with their neighbours. The villages of the Ionian Islands boast high-belfried churches, porticoes and colonnades, a testament to the rule by Venice. All the islands have their own delights: ancient temples and sandy bays, cobbled paths and shaded courtyards.

Complete with appendices of useful information for the traveller.
