Unpacking for Greece

Travel in a Land of Fortresses, Fables, Ferries and Feta

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

When Sally sets out for Europe with her mother's 1978 travel diary in her pocket, she is searching for the wanderlust she lost in a devastating overseas road accident. As she ventures into the heart of the Mediterranean - wandering volatile landscapes, exploring historical sites, pairing books with places and savouring the tastes of Greece - she finds it is possible for a clumsy, out-of-shape woman on a budget to experience a life-changing journey. In a story told with warmth, humour and a fascination with Greece's natural and cultural heritage, Sally connects with her past, overcomes her fears and falls in love with life again, one olive at a time. Book One in the 'Packing for Greece' series travels to Athens and Meteora on the mainland; Monemvasia, Sparta and Methana on the Peloponnese Peninsula; and the islands of Santorini and Rhodes.
