OverviewGreece is a varied country, with unspoilt scenery, from hot, barren, sun-baked rocky wastes to snow-capped mountains, forests, abundant natural lakes, many of the deepest gorges in Europe, and vast areas of saltmarsh and coastal lagoons, all relatively undiscovered. One of a new series of fabulously illustrated four-colour natural history travel guides. Each comprises an introduction followed by descriptions of some 200 places to visit, complemented by maps, line drawings and photographs of individual animals and plants, spectacular photographs of landscapes, and paintings to show how they all fit together.
