Rising above the waters between Greece & Italy, the Ionians - peaks of an underwater mountain range - are some of the most culturally, historically and mythologically rich in all Greece. Consisting of Corfu, Paxos, Ithaka, Lefkas, Cephalonia, Zakynthos and Kythera, they have been variously invaded and occupied by the Goths, Arabs, Normans, Venetians, British, Germans and most recently by tourism, yet they still have always absorbed and assimilated other cultures whilst retaining their unique character and identity. John Freely, who has visited and travelled throughout the islands over the course of 40 years, illuminates the history, culture and present day of all seven islands. Paperback 249 pages - (5/08)
