You want to discover the cultural treasures of the Greek islands in a guided tour? This is the book for you! (for a lower price, look for the black and white edition) This book is a travel story describing, through a large number of colour photos, a hiking tour in one of the most famous and yet not really discovered islands of Greece. Internationally known for its exceptional landscape, an outcome of its volcano, Santorini also boasts a wealth of cultural treasures, often eclipsed by the famous caldera and the sunset at Oia and remaining unknown to the wide public. 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 some of the best preserved fortified medieval settlements of the Aegean, churches with an inexplicable exotic decoration, picturesque chapels, dwellings dug in the volcanic soil in remote villages remaining unspoilt by tourism and one of the best preserved prehistoric cities in the world, known as the Greek Pompeii.
