The Unknown Catholic Greece: A Hidden Cultural Treasure (Black & White Edition) Are you ready to discover a little-known side of Greece? This is the book for you! Explore Catholic archdioceses, monasteries, parish churches, and chapels within one of the strongholds of Eastern Orthodox Christianity. This often-overlooked part of Greece offers significant monuments and fascinating historical narratives that enrich the country's immense cultural tapestry. Journey to Naxos, Santorini, Syros, and Tinos-four islands of the Cyclades, renowned for their breathtaking beaches-and uncover a lesser-known historical legacy shaped by the Crusades and the Catholic Church's presence in the Eastern Mediterranean. From villages inhabited entirely by Catholic communities to majestic Baroque cathedrals, renowned Catholic schools, and hundreds of hidden churches, these islands reveal a unique cultural heritage that is rarely seen. In addition to showcasing these Catholic treasures, the book highlights other must-see landmarks, making it an essential guide for travelers seeking a complete exploration of the islands. Although the book is structured as a hiking tour, most of these sights are accessible by car, so you can tailor your journey to your preferred pace.
