Where else could you discover so many enchanting worlds so close together? Through awe-inspiring pictures and text, compare many Greek island cultures: pagan temples next to Byzantine churches; healing Roman springs above lively seaside fishing villages; ancient working grain windmills beside Minoan ruins. Start the trip in the more populated islands of Crete, Cyprus, and Rhodes, then explore remote chains like the Cyclades, Ionia, and the Dodecanese. Still to come: 130 uninhabited islands. Other stops along your storied path: the route of The Iliad and The Odyssey; the site where Helios watched Rhodes rise from the sea; Aphrodite's beach; the Birthplace of Zeus. Although conquered over the centuries by Greece, Rome, Venice, and the Ottoman Empire, the islands in this armchair tour will win your heart, not by conquest, but by seduction.

Pictorial

Emphasize nature, simplicity, and a refreshingly down-to earth lifestyle in interiors that capture the best and the newest in country design. No longer does rural style mean cozy, cluttered rooms with frilled and piped soft furnishings; instead, it has become streamlined, relaxing to the eye, and easy to maintain. Try out this updated approach with its flowing fabric hanging simply from curtain poles; cushions lightly trimmed with buttons, solid wooden furniture with distressed surfaces; minimal accessories; and natural materials. Eight key contemporary country looks are showcased, with ideas for translating them into a distinctive look for every area in the home: Rustic, with its layered tweedy woven checks and warm tones; the creamy neutrals of Naturals; the mellow pale pastels of Romantic; the sleek lucid lines of Monotone; the deep red velvety textures of Modern Rose; the dazzling blues and sun-bleached whites of Nautical; summery Fresh Floral; and Creative Color. It's a whole new mood in country style!
