An Aegean Odyssey
From USA TODAY Bestselling author Kathryn Gaucicomes a vivid memoir of her life and travels across the ancient and spectacular islands of Greece."I would be like Odysseus, wandering in search of adventure. How it would turn out, I had no idea: I would leave that to fate."After more than thirty years as a successful carpet and textile designer, Kathryn decided it was time for a change: she wanted to become an author, and the first place she turned for inspiration was Greece, where she had worked as a carpet designer in Athens in the 1970s. With no idea of what she would write about, she took two months off and returned in 2005 in search of a new adventure. All she knew was that she wanted to find the old Greece that was quickly disappearing through modernization and tourism. It was a great leap of faith to make this change in mid-life, yet not being one to miss an opportunity, she packed her bags and set out alone, hoping to discover the beauty and rich tapestry of characters that had inspired such great writers of the past - Nikos Kazantzakis, Lord Byron, Henry Miller, Patrick Leigh Fermor, Odysseus Elytis, and Homer himself.Follow along with Kathryn's journey as she explores the centuries-old mastic villages of Chios; the island of Lesbos, with its vast landscapes of olive groves and purveyors of the world's finest ouzo; Karpathos, with its stunning beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters; and finally, the majestic mountains and gorges of Crete, home of the God Zeus, the legend of the Minotaur, and that famous Cretan spirit of Zorba - the same spirit that fought against the Ottomans and the Germans in World War II.Staying in unspoiled villages and mountain retreats, she also discovers the mouth-watering regional food cooked in the age-old tradition. Along the way, she finds her own story - and discovers that a part of Greece will always be embedded in her psyche."I sip my ouzo, cloudy with ice and accompanied by a small plate of mezedes, at a table along a sidewalk filled with pink oleander.""Somehow, I feel different. I can sense a peacefulness I don't think I've had for years. I have begun to let go and really relax, and I wasn't even aware it was happening.""Surrounded by nature and inspired by the courage of the Greeks with their turbulent past; sometimes glorious, sometimes bloody, I too have learnt to live with the rhythm of life."

Symonds reflects on how the northern landscapes stir a sense of awe, while the southern beauty of Italy calls forth deeper emotional connections. Throughout the text, the author weaves a personal narrative, not only sharing the physical journey but also offering an exploration of his inner thoughts and feelings about the places he encounters. Through these reflections, Symonds invites readers to experience Italy not only as a geographical destination but as a place that evokes profound emotional and intellectual responses.

Frommer's Spain
Frommer's books aren't "written" by A.I., like so many others, or by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done. We use seasoned, locally-based journalists like Peter Barron (formerly of the BBC), along with writers who live part-time in Spain, like Patricia Harris, David Lyon and Murray Stewart. The four of them spent months checking out all of Spain's best hotels, attractions, shops, wineries, and restaurants in person, so they could offer authoritative, candid reviews that will help you find the venues that suit your tastes and budget. In short, use this book and you'll be eating in the places most tourists don't know about, visiting top attractions at times when the crowds are at their thinnest, and patronizing the bars and clubs Spaniards hold dear. Whether you're partying the night away in the Balearic Islands, exploring architecture and history in Barcelona or Bilbao, or walking the Camino de Santiago, this book will make your vacation better. We include advice the tourist board wouldn't approve of: which sites to skip, how to avoid the crowds, and how to stretch your travel budget further, whether you're on a lavish honeymoon or backpacking it.Inside the guide: Full-color photos and helpful maps, including a detachable foldout mapDetailed itineraries for planning your trip to suit your schedule and interests (and help you avoid lines and crowds)Candid reviews of the best restaurants, historic sights, museums, tours, shops, and experiences―and no-punches-pulled info on the ones not worth your time and moneyAccurate, up-to-date info on transportation, useful websites, telephone numbers, and moreCompelling cultural information so that you'll better understand the history, cuisine, and traditions of SpainBudget-planning help with the lowdown on prices and ways to save money, whether you're traveling on a shoestring or in the lap of luxuryAbout Frommer's: There's a reason Frommer's has been the most trusted name in travel for more than 65 years.

Stockholm. Sweden has Europe's only capital city with an official "Board of Beauty." Elegance is a quality native to the North.

Lost in Amsterdam
Amsterdam. Paved into its streets is an artistic heritage centuries old. And though its liberal laws and relaxed environment have pulled in tourists in recent decades, the city offers much more than canals and coffee shops. The legacy of the Dutch Masters lives on, trans- formed, in a new generation of innovative artists and designers. The docks and wharfs of the Noord are examples of abandoned corners that have been reclaimed and reinvigorated. Even the architecture has been reinterpreted, with a modern spin on the classic canal house. Visitors today can travel to pop-up restaurants on abandoned islands or dine in 300-year-old green houses. Despite its rich history, Amsterdam is constantly evolving. But it's the people who shape the city's atmosphere. In Amsterdam we spoke to gifted personalities: the local denim king, an urban artist, a celebrated chef... Our recommendations are complemented by photographic showcases and in-depth stories from global and local talents. It's all about original minds and the creative vibe. Get lost in the sights, smells and flavours of the city. Get lost in Amsterdam. A skate ramp in a restaurant, a bar in a former officers' mess, a natural beach in the centre, animals on boats, a warehouse for vintage furniture, a baking stuntman... Get lost in the city of variety. Includes * 5 long-form interviews with celebrated locals on their relationship with Amsterdam and their absolute favourite spots * A selection of the hottest places to visit in two of the city's most charismatic neighbourhoods * A selection of our top picks for the entire city
