At Home in Greece

Invaded over the centuries by Romans, Venetians, Turks - and now tourists - Greece has still managed to retain its own style. Julia Klimi’s stunning photographs capture the essence of Greece, reflecting the incredible light in this part of the Mediterranean and showing the regional variations from the Greek Islands - the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, Crete, the Saronic and the Ionian Islands – as well as the mainland, including Athens and the Peloponnese. Outside spaces, many with views of the sea, are also featured, from verandas merging into swimming pools and shaded marble paths leading to secret gardens, to courtyards surrounded by olive trees.

Julia Klimi gained unrivalled access to thirty-five private homes and captured their essence perfectly. One can imagine oneself on a lounge chair looking out at the Aegean, playing cards in front of a log fire in an Epirus house, enjoying a view of the Acropolis.
