Book Description
Travellers have come to Arcadia for centuries in search of its history, its mythology, its beauty and its legend as a rural paradise. Many didn’t find what they’d expected. All helped to burnish the concept of “Arcadia” in western culture.
Matt Stanley follows the Mainalon Trail hiking route through modern Arcadia in the footsteps of its earlier visitors, exploring the forests, peaks, canyons, rivers, monasteries and villages. Along the way, he tries to locate the magic, the romance and the mystery of this region celebrated in painting, poetry and music.
Mainalon is a book for walkers, travellers and Hellenophiles everywhere.
