The unknown Catholic Greece. A hidden cultural treasure (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781983124334)

You want to discover a very little known side of Greece? This is the book for you!

(black and white edition)

Catholic Archdioceses, monasteries, parish churches, chapels, in one of the bastions of Eastern Orthodox Christianity. A very little known side of Greece, which adds some important monuments and some interesting historical pages to this country's immense cultural richness.

Naxos, Santorini, Syros, and Tinos, four islands of the Cyclades, the Greek archipelago famous for its spectacular beaches, also offer testimonies of a little known historical period, connected with the crusades and the presence of the Catholic Church in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Villages of a purely Catholic population, impressive Baroque cathedrals and hundreds of other churches, Catholic schools of international fame, testify to this cultural particularity of Greece.

Next to them, this book also presents the other important sights of these islands, for the visitor who wants to make a complete tour.

Although these treasures are presented to you through a hiking tour, even if you don't hike you can see them since you can also reach them by car.

The author of this book holds a Ph.D. in Architectural History from the National Technical University of Athens and a master's in heritage preservation from the Ecole de Chaillot of Paris. He is a professor at the University of the Peloponnese, where he teaches these subjects. He is also a fervent cultural hiker.

His travel books (mostly about Greece) are addressed to you, the reader with a special interest in cultural sites. In order to help you better understand and remember these sites, they are written as a guided tour. They include encounters with interesting people and other personal travel experiences which will help you organize your own trip beyond the tourist clichés.
