Our aim is to present the Greek landscapes in a holistic way: Greek landscapes refer to pictures and images of Greece, to paintings and art, to poetry and literature, to ancient philosophy and history, to contemporary thought and culture...

Rediscovering the cultural greek landscape through greek poetry...

Denial

Giorgos Sepheris

On the secret seashore

white like a pigeon

we thirsted at noon;

but the water was brackish. On the golden sand

we wrote her name;

but the sea-breeze blew

and the writing vanished. With what spirit, what heart,

what desire and passion

we lived our life: a mistake!

So we changed our life.
