Greece: The Monocle Handbook

Following Monocle's bestselling handbooks on France, Spain, and Portugal, this practical and inspirational guide takes you from the bustling streets of Athens to the forested ski slopes of Arcadia, and beyond to Crete and the Ionian, Cyclades, Dodecanese, and Aegean islands, introducing Monocle's favorite places to stay, eat, shop, and visit across Greece. Discover rural tavernas, isolated island retreats, great music venues, cool bars, and the best luxury pit stops. You'll also find out about a new generation of olive oil producers, winemakers, and beekeepers upholding ancient traditions and creating the best produce from local ingredients, as well as contemporary artisans creating great fashion, jewelry, and leather accessories. For those looking to spend more time, or even put down roots in Greece, the book also profiles the cities, towns, and islands where you could make a home, the architects and designers to commission, and interior-design inspiration for your new apartment on the Athens Riviera or white-washed island retreat. So, whether you are putting together an itinerary for a sun-soaked summer break, a culinary and wine-tasting tour, or planning to stay a little longer, Greece: The Monocle Handbook makes the perfect companion. 450 color illustrations
