Journeys To The Greeks
Why, in the era of online tourist advice, do we still need and love travel writing? And why and how has Greece so seeped into our consciousness?
How has this small country and its mythology so deeply enmeshed itself into the hearts and souls of people around the world? Why does Greece so capture our imaginations and what is the Greek spirit? Authors and travellers Peter Fiennes, Julian Hoffman and Michael Vatikiotis in conversation with Sofka Zinovieff
Sitting atop the Capodistrias Estate’s hill, catching the evening breeze under an enchanted tree canopy, enjoy a glass of wine or Corfu Beer at the Museum’s delightful terrace bar and cafe.
