Crete of the Minoan civilization, which had fascinated the Greek imagination for centuries before Homer’s time, Crete of fearless warriors, in more recent times, and Crete of a unique diversity of landscape, in a book that captures the essence of the place and records its beauties, often serene, at times otherworldly. Of the 365 photographs, one hundred twenty were taken from the air, and present us with a Crete we had never before set our eyes upon.
