Greek Island Sketches - The Greek Foundation

Greek Island Sketches is an illustrated journey through the quiet poetry of the Greek islands. Neither a travel guide nor a conventional art book, the book captures fleeting moments rather than destinations. Philippos Avramides’s delicate linework reveals familiar scenes in their purest form: a sunlit alley in Chora, the gentle curve of terracotta rooftops, a lone donkey tracing an ancient path. The sketches feel intimate, effortless, and authentic. This edition reflects the Greek islands’ pace and texture, moments of calm that stay with you long after you’ve left.

Each illustration offers a pause, a memory caught on paper.
