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. 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.
