This set includes both the Travel Guide and DVD of the same travel series about
the island of Lesvos.
About the Book:
Walking around Lesvos one feels what is called the relevance of time. Here,
the old and the new interwine in front of your eyes through the creations of the
people who have passed from the island. Om Thermi and Agios Vartholomaios a
seashell brings to life the struggle of prehistoric man. In Klopedi the eye gets
mesmerised by the mystical harmony of the Aeolian capitals. In Mesa the sound of
the wind through the leaves brings distant echoes of the happy voices and
singing of women competing in honour of goddess Hera...

findings, the environment, the economy, the architecture, the churches, and
monasteries, as well as numerous photographs. It is also a user's guide for the

About the DVD:
The "Lesvos" DVD-Video is a film - travelogue to the island of olive trees
and artists. The island which -being at the borders of Greece- connects two
worlds, the West and the East.
Maria Hatzimihali-Papaliou's cinematic lens captured all those elements,
which render the particular identity of the island of Lesvos, the history, the
people, the fables and religion.
