Over the years, I’ve fallen in love with Richard Clark’s books. Whenever I see another one being published, I a, super excited to get my hands on it to read it. It shouldn’t be a surprise that I couldn’t wait to read “More Hidden Crete”, too!

Anafiotika – The Cyclades in Athens

When I made plans to meet a friend (Lambi Lentakis – read her guest post about off season in Ios here ) in Athens last year in March, I didn’t know what to expect but I did ask her to ‘take me somewhere I wouldn’t go on my own’ , so pretty much off the…

Book Review: Corfu- A Notebook by Richard Clark

When I received the copy of Corfu – A Notebook I was, again, intrigued, as I’ve also read Crete- A Notebook, Rhodes – A Notebook and The Greek Islands – A Notebook. In true Richard Clark style, Corfu – A Notebook is not a travel guide but a lovely snapshot of places on the island,…

Book Review: The Taint of Midas (The Greek Detective #2) by Anne Zouroudi

The Taint of Midas is the second book by Anne Zourodi that I have the pleasure of reading. I started the book on the last day of 2013 and barely made myself put it down. I finished it on Jan 2. It felt amazing to read a hard copy. Not to mention, the story kept…

Having already read Crete- A Notebook (January this year) and Rhodes-A Notebook (in June this year) I was slightly afraid I’d re-reading some stuff all over again. But I was wrong; while the books on Crete and Rhodes do contain some stories which are also in the Greek Islands book, there is enough fresh content…

Book Review: Rhodes- A Notebook by Richard Clark

When I received the copy of Rhodes – A Notebook I was, again, intrigued, as I’ve also read Crete- A Notebook (early this year). Just like the book about Crete, Rhodes- A notebook certainly is not a travel guide. But will entice you to travel… Written by Richard Clark, a journalist who has lived in…

Book Review: Crete- A Notebook, Journeys Through a Mystical Landscape by Richard Clark

“I thought about how tough life was for the majority of everyday Greek people without the home comforts we take for granted.” When I was first told about Crete-A Notebook I was intrigued. It certainly is not a travel guide – which meant I was even more interested in reading it. I did like the…
