A combination of keen travel advice, memoir and meditations on the glories of Greece, 100 Places in Greece Every Woman Should Go is an indispensable companion, a must-have in your carry-on for the flight to Athens.

Author Amanda Summer draws on a quarter century of traveling and living in Greece to lead you through the country as an insider would, to reveal the vineyards, cooking classes, archaeological treasures and contemplative hikes from Athens to Zakynthos, the Peloponnese to Crete. Along the way, she tells the stories of fascinating Greek women of myth and history and the places they influenced. These 100 stories capture art, culture, food, history and style with jaunts through the cities, the islands, and the interior backcountry. From sexy to mythological, from spiritual to romantic, 100 Places in Greece Every Woman Should Go is for the smart and curious traveler who wants to see Greece, her way.
