I can close my eyes anywhere in the world, any time of day or night, and evoke vivid memories from the Aegean Sea. Some are visual, and some recreate events of all kinds, often related to the extraordinary hospitality we were shown. It is a wonderful cache to have handy. Thank you for joining us on this

journey of memories from the Aegean — memories in images recorded by me and memories in words by friends who love the Aegean. We present this volume as a tribute to the Sea and its people.
