What do the Greek myths mean to us today? It's now a golden age for these tales - they crop up in novels, films and popular culture.

But what's the modern relevance of Theseus, Hera and Pandora? Were these stories ever meant for children? And what's to be seen now at the places where heroes fought and gods once quarrelled? Peter Fiennes travels to the sites of some of the most famous Greek myths, on the trail of hope, beauty and a new way of seeing what we have done to our world. Fiennes walks through landscapes - stunning and spoiled - on the trail of dancing activists and Arcadian shepherds, finds the 'most beautiful beach in Greece', consults the Oracle, and loses himself in the cities, remote villages and ruins of this storied land.

Mainland Greece promises incredible ancient relics, inspiring cities, idyllic beaches, and mountains steeped in myth and legend. Whether you want to watch the sun sink behind the marble columns of the Parthenon in Athens, visit iconic archaeological sites such as Delphi and Olympia, or simply soak up the sun on the sandy beaches of Halkidiki, your DK Eyewitness travel guide makes sure you experience all that mainland Greece has to offer. World-class museums and archaeological sites may be the first things that come to mind when you think of Greece, but the country is home to both old and new.

Take Europe's oldest city, for example: Athens has a youthful vibe and buzzing nightlife, where upmarket restaurants stand alongside traditional grill eateries and old-school ouzeris jostle with the trendy cocktail bars of up-and-coming urban neighbourhoods. Beyond the cities, the rural landscapes of mainland Greece are stunningly diverse, stretching from the barren peaks of the northern Pindos to the sunny vineyards of Attica and the Peloponnese. Our newly updated guide brings Athens and the mainland to life, transporting you there like no other travel guide does with expert-led insights, trusted travel advice, detailed breakdowns of all the must-see sights, photographs on practically every page, and our hand-drawn illustrations which place you inside the region's iconic buildings and neighbourhoods.

Crete offers an incredibly multifaceted realm for walkers. Many areas of the island are still rugged and pristine. The island s terrain is dominated by three mighty mountain ranges, furrowed by deep gorges. Lofty mountains and a deep-blue sea are in close proximity an ideal combination for any holiday. The finest coastal and mountain walks on Greece s largest and most diverse island can be found in the Rother Walking Guide Crete.

The choice ranges from a pleasant walk across foothills through vineyards and sprawling groves of olive trees all the way up to the highest panoramic summits. There are even some demanding peaks, over 2000 metres in height, to climb. Breathtaking canyons can be traversed and isolated, dripstone caves are waiting to be explored. Everywhere you look, you ll find little villages, secluded monasteries and remote caves. Coastal trails lead to tranquil coves for bathing; is there anything better than, after a walk, taking a dip in some refreshing waters? Even the classic Cretan walks, like the Samaria Gorge and Dead s Gorge with its Minoan palace grounds, are included in this guide.

En reise til de vakreste kirkene og klostrene øst i Europa – fra Jerusalem til Finnmark.

Dette er en annerledes reisebok om de skjønneste kirker og klostre øst i Europa. Forfatter Richard Bærug har pirket i fasaden og kommet tett på menneskene. Hvem er de, disse munkene og nonnene, prestene og andre troende? Hva kan ortodokse, katolikker og protestanter åndelig gi oss i dag?

Østkirken står midt oppe i det kanskje største bruddet på nærmere tusen år. Den russisk-ortodokse kirken, der prestene i sovjettiden nesten ble utryddet og lederne stadig mer kontrollert av KGB, brøt i 2018 med moderkirken i Konstantinopel. Gjennom samtaler med troende rulles mangfoldet og det historiske lappeteppet ut, preget av dragkampen mellom troen på Gud og maktambisjonene til politiske ledere.
Mellom søken etter sannhet og gevinster fra løgner og legender.

Bli med på en dramatisk, men ytterst vakker reise fra Jerusalem gjennom Armenia, Georgia, Tyrkia, Kypros, Athos, Hellas, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Ukraina, Belarus (Hviterussland), Litauen, Latvia, Estland, Russland, Finland og Norge.
