The first comprehensive illustrated book on the Cyclades
archipelago, which also includes the well-known islands of
Santorini, Naxos, Paros and Mykonos. The islands are currently
among the trendiest travel destinations in the world. There is no
Hollywood or Instagram star who has not been photographed in front
of the white cities of the Greek islands. This illustrated book
attempts to capture the islands' attitude to life in an undisguised
way. In doing so, the volume does not aim at the big tourist
hotspots and Instagram shots that can be seen everywhere else, but
would like to capture the Greek island world as a whole - with all
its discrepancies. Lonely bays and half-ruined towns stand next to
the glossy world of the rich and famous who spend the summer on the
islands. Highlife in summer next to almost deserted streets in
winter. Greek tradition next to modern mass tourism. It is
precisely these discrepancies that make the volume so distinctive.
In addition, each individual island has its own exciting
peculiarities that are worth discovering. The volume also portrays
in pictures and text local Greeks who pursue an exciting
profession: The last fishermen of the island, the priest of a
mountain church on Naxos, the last local beekeeper, etc. Rudi
Sebastian has spent many weeks on the islands over several years in
all seasons and has followed the soul of the country and its
people. He was at least once on every single island of the region,
so he attaches importance to completeness. The result is a probably
unique collection of images that reflects the island life in all
its facets. Text in English and German.
