Review: Much of the fascination of Greece is tied up with the lush beauty of its mountain scenery, the charm of its seascapes and its many unspoilt villages scattered all over the country from Ionia in the west, where their high belfried churches, porticos and terraces date back to Venetian times, to the maritime villages of the Cyclades in the east with their picturesque white horses and steep cobbled streets, set to a backcloth of the sparkling waters and startling blue skies of the Aegean. Mark Ottaway and Hugh Palmer capture the magical atmosphere of these places in this splendid coffee table volume with its 285 colour photographs. (Kirkus UK). Item #199950
