It's All Greek to Me! A Tale of a Mad Dog and an Englishman, Ruins, Retsina - and Real Greeks Book

"A little whitewashed house with a blue door and blue shutters on an unspoilt island in a picturesque village next to the beach with a tavernaround the corner?" This was the dream of the Mole family in search of a piece of Greek paradise.

In a charming saga of sun, sea, sand?and cement?John Mole tells of the back-breaking yet joyous labors of fi xing up his own Arcadia and introduces a warm, generous and garrulous cast of characters who helped (and occasionally hindered) his progress: "Welcome to our village.

Mole?s mutinous and frequently sceptical family? and Hector, their dog, a mutant specially bred to frighten little children, who met his destiny on Evia?"Read More
