"Grece" - 1977 Greek Tourism Book (French language)

Untrammeled, beautiful, incredible Greece in 1977! There are places on this earth where the light is different. Where it falls on white stone and blue water in a way that seems less like sunlight and more like memory — ancient, warm, and entirely your own. Greece was such a place. From the storied heights of the Acropolis to the sleepy harbours of the Cyclades, from the wild gorges of Crete to the monasteries of Meteora perched improbably upon their pillars of rock, Greece asks something of every visitor: to slow down, to look closely, and to feel the deep current of history that flows beneath even the most ordinary afternoon. Whether you come to walk in the footsteps of Socrates and Pericles, to feast on fresh-caught fish beside a harbour taverna, to sail the wine-dark Aegean as travellers have done since before recorded time, or simply to let the sun do its slow, generous work upon you — Greece will not disappoint. It never has. I'm fascinated by this romantic, unabashed look at how Greece promoted itself to visitors in the late 70s. This will have you dreaming of Greece... - Grece - "Avec Les Compliments de L'Office National Du Tourisme Hellenique".
