Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You want to discover the treasures of one of the culturally richest and yet mostly unknown Greek islands? This is the book for you! (for a lower price, look for the black and white edition) This book describes, through a travel story and a large number of colour photos, the known and unknown treasures of one of the culturally richest and yet not enough known islands of Greece. Andros is not among the most known and visited islands of Greece. And yet, it deserves much more attention, since its hidden beauties are many more than the obvious ones. This book endeavours to cover this omission and give a glimpse of this cultural richness to the visitor who desires to discover it. Among other things, it presents one of the most beautiful neoclassical ensembles in Greece, historic monasteries, beautiful villages, a landscape of waterfalls and astonishing greenery in the arid Cyclades and the island's great naval tradition, which gave it the nickname of 'Little England'. Although these treasures are presented through a hiking tour, also those who don't hike can see them, since they are also accessible by car. The author of this book holds a PhD in Architectural History from the National Technical University of Athens and a master in heritage preservation from the Ecole de Chaillot of Paris. He is a professor in the University of the Peloponnese, where he teaches these subjects. He is also a fervent cultural hiker. His travel books (mostly about Greece) are addressed to a public with a special interest in cultural sites. In order to help the readers better understand and remember these sites, they are written as a guided tour, including encounters with interesting people and other personal travel experiences which could help the readers organise their own trip beyond the tourist clichés.

Also, one of the best preserved fortified medieval settlements of the Aegean composing an islet from Greece of Latin domination that made it to our days, monasteries that housed schools of international fame, feudal towers and picturesque villages.

Download or read book Andros Tinos Mykonos Delos The Islands of Aeolus written by Denis Roubien and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You want to discover the natural and cultural treasures of some of the most extraordinary Greek islands? This is the book for you! (look also for the colour edition). This book describes, through a travel story and a large number of black and white photos, the known and unknown treasures of some of the most remarkable islands of Greece. Four islands which form a geographical entity and can be visited together. Moreover, they represent the part of Greece where ancient Greeks placed the dwelling of Aeolus, god of the winds. This was due to its being perhaps the country's windiest part, which has the advantage of relatively cool summers. Andros is not among the most known and visited islands of Greece. And yet, it deserves much more attention, since its hidden beauties are many more than the obvious ones. This book presents, among other things, one of the most beautiful neoclassical ensembles in Greece, historic monasteries, beautiful villages, a landscape of waterfalls and astonishing greenery in the arid Cyclades and the island's great naval tradition, which gave it the nickname of 'Little England'. Last possession of Venice in the Aegean and thus last bastion of the Western World in the Eastern Mediterranean, Tinos boasts a wealth of cultural treasures, set in an exceptional landscape. The fact that the church of the Virgin Mary in its port became the main pilgrimage of Greece resulted in the treasures of the hinterland remaining unknown to the wide public. This book presents, among other things, medieval settlements, monumental churches, picturesque chapels, monasteries that housed schools of international fame, artistic dovecotes and the island's marble craftsmanship, inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. World famous Mykonos, despite the very intense tourist activity, has surprisingly maintained its beauty and characteristic picturesque image. And finally, the tiny uninhabited island of Delos is one of the most important mythological, historical, and archaeological sites in Greece. Although these treasures are presented through a hiking tour, also those who don't hike can see them, since they are also accessible by car. The author of this book holds a PhD in Architectural History from the National Technical University of Athens and a master in heritage preservation from the Ecole de Chaillot of Paris.
