52 eyelands: a sentimental guide through the Greek islands

A travel guide for the Greek islands This is a “sentimental” guide for travellers, through 52 of the Greek islands. The term "sentimental guide" implies something more than a commonplace guide and I assure you that my book is not written in the style of a classic guidebook. There is already a plethora of classic guidebooks; the internet is rife with a lot of useful – yet even more useless – information. This book is about to how it feels like to actually “live the island” – even for a week – and to find out what it’s like, from how it looks to how it can be characterized in terms of its deeper essence. I liken this process to getting to know a friend, or perhaps even falling in love. What you will find in the book An introduction to the Greek landscape: Greece for beginners (A day in Greece nowadays, A very brief history of modern Greece, Greece in the years of the crisis, basic trips for travel and tips for the first day in the island) For every island, you will find information about its history and its connection with the other islands which belong to the same group. You will also find basic information about how to get around and spots that I think you should not miss, in order to get a complete picture and enjoy your stay on the island. Keep in mind that this is a guide for travellers and not for ordinary tourists. As such, what I believe is most significant is to give you information based on my own experience, about the style, character, profile and personality of each island. Along with the commentary on the islands, this book contains some basic yet essential tips for travellers to Greece – and particularly for those travelling to the islands. Moreover, there is a small section with some tips – one might say an emotional survival guide – for all those who need to know what to do during their first day on an island.
