A writer’s journey around Greece, with as signposts the hospitality provided at the most exceptional accommodation the country has to offer to discerning travellers. Inspired by a play on words based on Jules Vernes’s famous work "Around the World in Eighty Days", Jacoline Vinke and Andre Bakker made a wager to discover the 80 most exceptional small hotels and guesthouses in Greece and to reveal their uniqueness through text and images.

Jacoline Vinke has travelled around the islands and mainland of Greece and has written about 80 hotels and guesthouses of character, each with a story to tell. The well-written, playful text conveys the distinctive sense of welcome that they exude, and also the desire of their owners to share their ‘perfect little getaway’.

In his evocative images, André Bakker has captured the charm of these 80 unique places to stay, and what makes them stand out as exquisite destinations.Around Greece in 80 Stays will appeal equally to those interested in discovering the best of Greece, away from mass tourism, as well as to those with an eye for aesthetics and beauty. This unique edition combines the usefulness of a travel guide with the lavish photography of a coffee table book.
