Papas And The Englishman, The: From Corfy To Zagoria

Description: From Corfu to Zagoria. Author keeps isolated community alive in Greek mountains near Albania.
It is simply written, as you or would write a diary or recap on our own experiences, and gives insight into the challenges faced in creating a new life in a more remote part of Greece. The characters are beautifully portrayed, so much so you can feel their personalities coming to life, and the authors love of Greece shines through. From experience I know what a frustrating place Greece can be to live in, I did it myself over 25 years ago but am now refreshed to read a book that highlights the importance of integration into the local community and of sharing skills and importantly, valuing your time and making the most out of your life. Today I am picking up the phone to call Roy in Zagoria, after searching the net to find his phone number - and book myself in to stay a few days. This is an easy, honest and entertaining read that I hope will inspire the spirit of adventure in you.
