The first comprehensiveillustrated book on the Cyclades Archipelago, which also includes the well-known islands ofSantorini, Naxos, Paros and Mykonos. The islands are currently among the trendiest travel destinations worldwide. There is no Hollywood or Instagram star who is not currently being photographed in front of the white cities of the Greek islands.
This illustrated book attempts to capturethe feeling of life on the islandsin an undisguised way. The book does not aim at the big tourist hotspots and Instagram shots that can be seen everywhere else, but wants to capture the Greek island world as a whole – with all its discrepancies.Lonely bays and half-ruined townsstand next to the glossy world of the rich and beautiful who spend the summer on the islands.Highlife in summernext to almostdeserted streets in winter.Greek tradition next to modern mass tourism. It is precisely these discrepancies that make the volume so distinctive. In addition, each individual island has its own exciting peculiarities that are worth discovering. The volume also portrays in pictures and text localGreeks who pursue an exciting profession: the last fishermen on the island, the priest of a mountain church on Naxos, the last local beekeeper, etc.
Rudi Sebastian has spent many weeks on the islands in all seasons over several years and has followed the soul of the country and its people. He has been to every single island in the region at least once, so he attaches great importance to completeness. The result is a probablyunique collection of picturesthat reflects island life in all its facets.
