The illustrations have been meticulously preserved and the facts updated for the twenty-first century.

This is Greece captures the flavor and tradition of the birthplace of Western civilization. Thereâ€™s Athens, with its spectacular views of the Acropolis, the Parthenon, temples, theaters, and marketplaces; architecture-renowned Corinth; Mycenae, inhabited since 3000 B.C.; Olympia, home of the gods; Delphi, famous for its legendary oracle; and the beautiful isles. Thereâ€™s also modern-day Greece, where life is lived on street corners, in squares, and at tables amid reminders of the past.
