In the 17th century Britons left their country in vast numbers -
explorers, diplomats, ecclesiastics, merchants, or simply
"tourists." Only the most intrepid ventured into the faraway lands
of the Ottoman Empire. Their travel narratives, best-sellers in
their day, provide an entertaining but also valuable testimony on
the everyday life of Orthodox Christians and their coexistence with
the Turks. Greek Christians, though living under the Ottoman yoke,
enjoyed greater religious freedom than many of their brothers in
Christian Europe. The travelers' intellectual curiosity about
Greece opened a window on the Orthodox Church, and paved the way
for future dialogue.
