This book was first published 16 years ago and it still tops the best-seller lists in Greece. This is no surprise: no other book on Greek interiors captures the spirit of this country so well. It lets you look inside houses of people all over Greece and from very different social backgrounds. You get the see it all: the kitchen of the grandmother living in a little village, the glitzy villa of a rich Athenian, the residential quarters of a monk living by himself in an island monastery, the colourful rooms of a farmhouse in the mountains, the summer island house of a foreign artist, and the list goes on. Other books about Greek interiors (Living in Greece, At Home in Greece...) come and go, but this is the only one that shows what living in Greece is really about and that continues to inspire Greek architects, interior designers and anyone who simply loves Greece year after year.

'Greek Style'is a book that invites the reader to open it again and again. From the moment I opened it I was intoxicated with the content. The enticing foreward written by Daniel Rozenstroch (one of the authors) leads one towards a fascinating journey around the Greek islands and the charming homes of real people. The introduction by Harry Mark Petrakis (Author of 'A Dream of Kings') provides an evocative glance into all that is Greek. One can't fail to be entralled by his beautifully chosen words. The focus of the book is on living 'Greek Style' with interiors and exteriors of homes beautifully captured by breathtaking photography. Simple, explanatory text accompanies the photos. This book is perfect for anyone who is contemplating renovating or building a home and wants to capture a 'Greek' ambience. The book is bursting with examples of doors, windows, stone work, ceilings, fabrics, furniture, courtyards and so much more. Homes of all types and styles are explored in detail. A bonus at the end of the book is a Greek 'Lexicon' beautifully illustrated in pen and ink line drawings. Without doubt anyone owning this book will treasure it like gold.

The previous reviewers have certainly done justice in their feedback to this beautiful book.I would like to add ,as a person interested and working in art & design and living in Greece ,the book is an excellent example of Greek style and inspiration for those who want their own greek room/corner or element in their home.Focused on the islands as this is what most tourists are familiar with, the photographs capture the simplicity , colours and authenticity of the Greek spirit.
