We are pleased to announce that Zakynthos Flower of the East has been scheduled for publication in June 2021, with Ionian Publishing! The book will be in both English and Greek, paperback and ebook formats. The current book description is as follows:
Zakynthos Flower of The East We think we now the Greek island of Zakynthos and yet the modern, tourist island of today only gives visitors a small, tantalising glimpse of what was once a grand and historically important place. So, how did Zakynthos become the place it is today? With over a thousand years of history, traditions and culture to discover, Zakynthos not only had a wealthy and aristocratic past, but at times a treacherous and murderous one too; it was occupied by many nations, plundered by pirates and invaded during World War Two. Its interesting seismic events and geological phenomena that has cretan a stunningly beautiful landscape, only add to a remarkable history that has not only influenced its people, but also shaped the island into the tourist haven it is today. With culture and traditions that are very different to the rest of Greece, Zakynthos Flower of the East is the story of the bygone eras of the Greek island of Zakynthos, as seen through the eyes of its history and those who lived through exciting and turbulent centuries. From history to archaeology, notable people to important sites, this will be the most comprehensive book ever written about Zakynthos, transporting readers though the centuries, from Myth and Legend, up to modern times.
