Book- Greece: The Monocle Handbook

Greece: The Monocle Handbook

A beautifully curated celebration of Greece, its places, people, food, design and the makers keeping its traditions alive.

Greece: The Monocle Handbook travels from the streets of Athens to Arcadia, Crete and the islands of the Ionian, Cyclades, Dodecanese and Aegean, uncovering Monocle’s favourite places to stay, eat, shop and explore. Along the way, it introduces the artisans, producers, winemakers and creatives shaping modern Greece while remaining deeply connected to its heritage. 

For us at The Greek Providore, this book is particularly special.

We are incredibly excited to see two of the producers we proudly bring to Australia featured within its pages the historic Patounis Soap Works of Corfu, preserving generations of traditional soap-making, and Deneke Extra Virgin Olive Oil by November Fruits, representing the new generation of beautifully considered Greek olive oil.

There is something very special about seeing the producers we have discovered, loved and chosen to share with Australia recognised in a book dedicated to the very best of Greece.

More than a travel guide, this is a book for anyone who loves the Greece beyond the postcard, the small producers, family traditions, beautiful design, exceptional food and people who make the country what it is.

A beautiful book to keep on the coffee table, gift to a fellow Greece-lover, or take as inspiration for your next journey home.
