Greek Islands

On the islands of the Aegean Sea, endless shimmering waters and unparalleled Greek hospitality welcome every visitor. Each island possesses its own unique spirit and mythological tales, from Patmos (a favorite of Aga Khan) to Hydra (which attracted Henry Miller, Leonard Cohen, and Sophia Loren). These islands are filled with a seductive sense of history, tradition, and a spirit of adventure. Over the decades, many films have been shot on these islands, including Boy on a Dolphin (1957) on Hydra, The Big Blue (1988) on Amorgos, and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005) on Santorini. As sources of inspiration for millennia, the ancient ruins, cliffside monasteries, and volcanic edges are must-see landmarks. On his own Odyssey journey, the author and photographer boarded a traditional Greek sailboat to capture the tranquil atmosphere, typical characters, and magnificent architecture of these Aegean treasures. This grand journey is beautifully recreated in the pages of Greek Islands. ** The Ultimate Luxury Coffee Table Book Brand – Assouline ** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54253808020_ff23841a2a_z.jpg Exclusively introduced by Baker-McGuire’s Taiwan flagship store, Assouline, hailed by The New York Times as the “Birkin of Books,” now has its only dedicated brand section in Taiwan.
