About The Athenian Walk And The Historic Site Of Athens

The book is a chronicle of visits made to the Acropolis by Greeks and foreigners in the 19th and 20th century, and investigates various subjects: How did successive generations of Greek and foreign visitors experience the shrine of the Acropolis? What course did they follow on their way to the monuments? And how far did they respect the ancient access routes? How was the new "Athenian Walk" created, fulfilling an urban-design vision born at the same time as modern Athens in 1833? The album is written in an elegant yet readily understood style, embellished with rare drawings and photographs, reminding us that in life, as in art, the "journey is the end".
