Description

For travellers through the Aegean from Odysseus onwards, the Greek Islands have proved to be places of beauty and enchantment, but also of violence, of love and death. Isles of Greece doesn't plot a course from island to island. Instead, it groups together poems and prose extracts in order to provide some sense of the glittering delights and dark tragedies that are part of the history and the present of all Greek islands.
