Greece Exposed by New Zealander

A new book written by a New Zealander is dedicated to Greek culture and attitude and shows that the Greek capital offers a wide range of extraordinary experiences.

The writer David Cade has been obsessed by Greece’s unique music for decades and has plunged into Athens like a spring set free. The result is the book entitled “Athens – The Truth,” which is a 400-page revelation of aspects of the city unknown not only to tourists, but even to many Greeks.

“Athens – The Truth” is a travel book that often reads more like a novel. As the author unearths the truths of the city, tension develops and the account moves towards a climax. At many points the writer’s love for Greece is obvious, but at other times his criticisms are frank. Whereas other authors appear to have been wary of stepping on Greek toes, Cade tells all.

This book has been written for anyone who has yet to encounter the true Greece. The author explained: “I wrote it not only to help tourists, students, or business people get the most out of Athens, but so that people at home, perhaps with no intention at all of ever actually visiting, can also encounter all those locations, people, and facts which even the most adventurous seem to miss.”

The author declared “tourists are advised to see the Acropolis and a couple of museums but then to rush for a ferry and flee to the Greek islands, as they’ve no idea what they’re missing out on.”
