Assouline's "Greek Islands Coffee Table Book" offers a wonderful insight into the beauty of the Greek Islands and is the perfect gift for any occasion - from weddings to honeymoons .
An endless expanse of shimmering waters coupled with unparalleled Greek hospitality awaits visitors to the islands of the Aegean. Each island is home to a unique spirit and mythology. From Patmos (a favorite spot of the Aga Khan) to Hydra (which captivated Henry Miller, Leonard Cohen and Sophia Loren), the islands are imbued with an alluring sense of history, tradition and adventure. Several films have been shot on them over the decades, including Boy on a Dolphin (1957) on Hydra, The Big Blue (1988) on Amorgos and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005) on Santorini. The ancient ruins, cliff-top monasteries and volcanic rims have been a source of inspiration for millennia and are not to be missed.
The author and photographer embarked on their own odyssey aboard a traditional Greek sailboat and made set out to capture the soothing atmosphere, distinctive characters and stunning architecture of these gems of the Aegean. A spectacular journey reflected in the pages of Greek Islands.
