Island Dreams: Mediterranean
Jeremy Horner
|
‘Atmospheric and engaging … sumptuously illustrated …
a fascinating introduction’ | | – Daily Mail |
The most magical islands of the Mediterranean are beautifully evoked in the first book in this major new series. Some, like Capri, are already well-known; others, like Croatian Vis, are just entering the consciousness of island travellers.
• Brijuni, off the coast of Istria – once the private home of President Tito – is now one of the region’s most exclusive hideaways.
• Hvar, a verdant ridge rising out of the Adriatic, was once an outpost of the Venetian empire and consequently enjoys a legacy of elegant architecture, as does neighbouring Korcula, sometimes referred to as ‘Little Dubrovnik’.
• Capri and Ischia have always attracted travellers, and all their delights are fully explored in this book. Procida is less well-known, but its fishing port of Corricella became famous as the setting for the film Il Postino.
• Corfu, Rhodes and Mykonos have been included from the galaxy of Greek island gems, but so too have delicious Santorini and the less familiar Zakynthos.
