Ants, bacon, collagen, and chlorine. These are not the first words that usually spring to mind when thinking about summers in Greece.

The holidays that Adam Yamey spent in this country in the 1970s and 1980s with the professor and his wife were far from ordinary.

This book provides an affectionate portrait of two remarkable people with whom the author spent many unconventional vacations. It also describes how the author travelled with them through a Europe which has undergone many transformations since these trips were made.

Adam's book is richly illustrated with his own photographs, many of them showing places that time has changed beyond recognition.
