Dive into Greek Adventures: A Reading List for Your Next Trip



Ready to get into the Greek spirit before your trip? Here’s a fun reading list to transport you straight to the heart of ancient myths and modern-day Greece.


Start with the Classics

Why not finally tackle Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey? These epic tales are the foundation of Greek literature and will immerse you in the heroics of Achilles and the wanderings of Odysseus.


Modern Twists on Ancient Myths

For a contemporary take, dive into Madeline Miller’s The Song of Achilles and Circe. Miller’s writing brings ancient characters to life with a fresh, captivating twist. Mary Renault’s The King Must Die is another fantastic choice, offering a riveting account of Theseus in Minoan Crete. Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad and Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls give unique, inventive perspectives on classic stories.


Greek Classics and Modern Favorites

Nikos Kazantzakis’ Zorba the Greek is a must-read, capturing the essence of life and culture in Crete. And who could forget Captain Corelli’s Mandolin by Louis de Bernières, a novel that beautifully put Kefalonia on the literary map?


Family Fun and Historical Drama

For some real-life family drama and animal antics, Gerald Durrell’s My Family and Other Animals is a delightful memoir set in Corfu. If you’re into historical fiction, Victoria Hislop’s The Island and The Thread are perfect for soaking up Greek history and atmosphere.

With so many Greek-themed literary treasures to choose from, you’re sure to find a book that sparks your imagination and gets you excited for your trip. By the time you set foot in Greece, you’ll be well-prepared and inspired, ready to explore all the wonders this beautiful country has to offer. Happy reading and safe travels!
