Immortalized by poets for its otherworldly beauty, Greece is world-renowned for its ancient monuments. At the same time, however, it is the cradle of an organic architectural language, shaped over centuries of rural and island life—a tradition that inherited the timelessness of classical lines and the simplicity of an authentic rustic way of life.
A glorious, deeply personal tribute to the magic of Greece, seen through the eyes of internationally acclaimed photographer and author Miguel Flores-Vianna! This impressive, oversized volume chronicles a unique photographic odyssey through the Greek landscape, revealing the country’s authentic architectural identity. In his signature atmospheric style, Flores-Vianna’s lens takes us inside the refined homes of fashion designers, the simple farmhouses of olive growers, exquisite boutique hotels, contemporary public buildings and museum treasures, all bathed in the unique light of the Aegean.
A luxurious, substantial coffee-table book combining captivating images with rich, informative text—ideal for lovers of architecture, interior design, art and travel.
