Athens: Between Sky and Sea

Athens is a city at a crossroads, between sky, sea, and dry land; a city born of an encounter between history and legend; a city that is modern, multifarious, spellbinding; a European capital now watching its importance grow day by day. Here is a celebration of Athens by one of the greatest of contemporary photographers, able to capture and reproduce its magic. Athens between Sky and Sea allows its reader to discover this imperishable city from original viewpoints. Philip Plisson reaches out to sky and sea to photograph the most beautiful and startling of its sites, the buzz of its fascinating urban ensembre, and the poetry of its seaboard. With its images, which are some of the most spectacular ever taken of Athens as a whole, with its many fold-out panoramic plates, this album will bring the city vividly and unforgettably to mind.
