Presented in a landscape format and with captions explaining the story behind each entry, Greece is a stunning collection of images celebrating one of the world's most popular destinations. From antiquity to modernity, from the tallest mountains to the tiniest islands, from the Romans to the Venetians to the Ottomans, Greece is a beautiful photographic exploration of this fascinating country. Arranged by region, the book celebrates such classical highlights as Athens's Acropolis, the ruins at Mycenae in the Peloponnese, the Byzantine churches of Thessaloniki, and the ancient Temple at Delphi. It also explores the beauty of the islands of the Aegean and the Ionian Sea, the Zagori mountains in the northwest of the country, and the hydrothermal craters on Nisyros.

I really appreciated the specifics and details that went into this book. You can tell there was quite a bit of research and thought put into it. I like this better than a different book by the same author I read earlier this year called Wonders of the World. I liked that Greece stays within one country, and it actually made me feel like I was exploring it all on my own, which was lovely considering the year 2020 has been with the absence of travel. It's a great book to forget the news for just a second and pretend you're somewhere else. I can't wait until all of this is over to explore Greece for real.

I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
