Oia on Santorini before the tourists
Clearing out a drawer, I found an antiquarian book with some wonderful photos taken in 1957 of Greek islands – here are my favourites – another world then.
Oia 1957
Women on Lefkada - caryatids come to life, my favourite.
Mykonos windmill - you can see the woman milling her grain inside while the donkey waits outside.
There was such poverty in the 50’s, it is humbling to see how tourism has affected lives and the environment in so many ways – some bad of course, but so much good too.
