Vacation days in Greece

A sequence of travel essays traces journeys through islands and mainland Greece, from the Ionian shores through northern districts and the Peloponnese, with excursions into Sicily and Dalmatia. Vivid landscape sketches evoke coasts, mountains, vineyards, and village life while close study of temples, sanctuaries, monuments, and museum finds supplies archaeological context. The narrative favors lesser-known sites over tourist staples, offers practical observations for travelers (including remarks on using a bicycle), and is arranged geographically with maps and illustrations to supplement descriptive passages and personal impressions of light, color, and local customs.
