Greece From the Air
Editorial Reviews

The Mediterranean light hits the Greek islands in a special way. For thousands of years authors have been trying to describe it, and Yann Arthus-Bertrand's sumptuous photography brings it alive. The 102 color aerial photographs in Greece from the Air depict a craggy, flower-specked coast against an aqua sea, cultivated fields, houses built into cliffs, the Theater of Dionysus, the harbor of Piraeus, the village of Thera built on a colossal rocky mount 120 meters high, the green-swathed hills of Thessaloníki, and Ia with its narrow streets, whitewashed staircases, and blue-domed churches. Janine Trotereau's text provides context and history, but it is the pictures, lyrical and evocative, that will hypnotize you into booking your next vacation in Greece.
