Greece: The Monocle Handbook

Following Monocle's bestsellers on France, Spain and Portugal, the coffee-table book "Greece: The Monocle Handbook" takes you to the bustling streets of Athens, to the wooded ski slopes of Arcadia, and on to Crete and the Ionian, Cyclades, Dodecanese and Aegean islands, introducing Monocle's favorite places to stay, eat, store and visit throughout Greece.

Discover rural tavernas, secluded island retreats, great music venues, cool bars and the best luxury pit stops. You'll also learn about a new generation of olive oil producers, winemakers and beekeepers who are honoring old traditions and making the best products from local ingredients, as well as contemporary artisans making great fashion, jewelry and leather accessories.

For those looking to spend more time in Greece or even settle there, the book also lists the cities and islands where you can find a home, the architects and designers you can commission, and inspiration for the interiors of your new apartment on the Athens Riviera or your new white island. So whether you're putting together an itinerary for a sun-drenched summer vacation, a culinary tour or wine tasting, or plan to stay a little longer, Greece: The Monocle Handbook is the perfect companion.
