Book Description

March 17, 2007 Seal Women's Travel
Greece, it has been said, is where art became inseparable from life. The country evokes a richly embroidered tapestry of images, from old monuments rife with history to idyllic isles of glass-blue sea and blinding white stucco dwellings. Greece enchants its visitors with its beauty, tradition, and spirit.

In this eloquent collection, women share firsthand experiences of the people, history, and landscape of Greece. Their essays go beyond ordinary travelogue to capture the ways in which Greece has shaped lives or influenced decisions. In expressing their love for the country, these women share stories as visceral as they are poignant, as entertaining as they are endearing.

Whether they are seasoned travelers or armchair adventurers, Greece aficionados or those just beginning to learn about the country, readers of this compelling collection will gain a better understanding of Greece and how experiences abroad can impact their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful book June 6, 2007
Format:Paperback
I can't express how wonderful this book was. I may not be Greek by birth, but I am in my heart. While I go to Greece yearly, I long to be there year-round. This book has helped me connect to my favorite place when I have to be in the States. It is great to read some of the other women's experiences and see how they parallel my own. I highly recommend this book to any woman who loves Greece.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed the stories September 16, 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I enjoyed the stories in this book. I only wish my copy had arrived before we left for Greece! I ordered it from Amazon marketplace 2 weeks before the trip, but apparently that is not enough time. The stories are from very diverse perspectives, about different places in Greece, though most of them are from the 1970s and 80s so things have changed a lot.
