Today Santorini is visited by some 2.5 million people a year. But when Robert McCabe and his brother arrived there in 1954, they were the only visitors on the island. In this collection of stunning photographs from the 1950s and 1960s--reproduced as tritones of surpassing quality--McCabe has recorded the hardscrabble, yet often romantic, life of a vanished era. Picturesque whitewashed houses dug into the volcanic pumice; the harvest of the island's famous cherry tomatoes; the winding road to the ruins of ancient Thera--all this was captured by his lens.

McCabe's photographs are complemented by two essays from the noted Greek journalist Margarita Pournara, one poetically evoking her grandmother's childhood on Santorini and the other explaining the geological forces that have given this volcanic island its dramatic form.

A companion to McCabe's recent volume on Mykonos, this book will fascinate modern-day visitors to Santorini, as well as those who trace their roots to the Greek islands.

McCabe, Robert A.: - Robert A. McCabe was born in Chicago in 1934. He started taking photographs in 1939 with a Kodak Brownie given to him by his father, who published a tabloid newspaper in New York. His work is featured in a permanent exhibition at the Greek consulate in Boston, MA. McCabe's fifteen published photo books include the Abbeville titles Mykonos, Mycenae: From Myth to History, The Ramble in Central Park: A Wilderness West of Fifth, and Three Days in Havana.

Pournara, Margarita: - Margarita Pournara writes about art, culture, travel, food, and Athenian life in her column in Kathimerini, a leading Greek newspaper. She has worked as a journalist in print and digital media in Greece since 1994. Her grandmother was a native of Santorini.
