by Andrea R. Gravatt

Book Image Not Available Book Image Not Available
Overview

The Doors of Corfu Paxos and Antipaxos presents a pictorial view of antiquity and modern day life on three islands in the Ionian Sea through the architectural element of doors. Corfu is a favorite destination for many who travel to the Greek Islands. Although known for its lush green hills, groves of olive trees and pristine beaches, its coves and waterside taverns are what attract many who sail. Paxos and Antipaxos, the island gems of the Ionian Sea are far less traveled and mirror the beauty of the quiet islands in the green blue waters, which surround them. This photographic collection of doors reflects modern day life as well as days of antiquity. Collected from roads less traveled and gravel paths, these doors represent a vignette of the rich architectural and cultural expression of these tiny Mediterranean islands.
