Description

The Face of Greece Series # 18] "Come and make the acquaintance of Western Thessaly, travelling from the forests of the Pindus mountains to snow-capped Olympus, from, the peaceful vale of Tempi to the stone forest of Meteoral Thessaly has many sights of interest - humble neolithic settlements, vanished Homeric cities, ruins of rich towns of the classical age; we shall look down on early Christian mosaics and gaze at Byzantine frescoes and ornamental brick work; we shall try to decipher painted or carved, inscriptions. We shall see many monasteries without monks, mosques without faithful. There are far-flung bridges and lowly chapels. We shall hear of men and cities - those who made the things you see, and many others beside. "The best of all lands is that of Thessaly" said the oracle of Delphi to the people of Megara. Let us be on our way - starting from, the beginning !" Unpaginated. illus ( B & W) maps on endpapers.
