I have been invited to give a lecture on Epirus, and on my book "The Ionian Islands and Epirus, A Cultural History" in Stockholm later this month.
Here are some of the very generous past reviews:
"If evidence is required that Greece can enchant, enthral and engage, then Briton Jim Potts' book is just that...What he produces over the course of 280 pages is a wonderful and inspiring miscellany of all things Ionian and Epirot...it makes accessible a rich cultural depository to the discerning and cultured tourist- and resident...The Ionian Islands and Epirus takes a refreshing look at the islands and mountains of western Greece...This little gem of a book will provide the discerning traveller with something grossly lacking from other tourist guides: a real cultural history with which he or she can contextualise the wonderful experience that is the Ionian Islands and Epirus."

Damian Mac Con Eladh,"Getting the feel for a place"
"Fastiduously researched, the book reveals Potts’ immense
knowledge and love of the subject. This kaleidoscope of ideas and imagery, of
real and imagined stories, conceived over centuries, gives a profound insight
into the history the islands and Epirot mainland, and the cultural legacy that
remains. It is a work which goes far beyond the fare of any conventional
tourist guide. This important book is a ‘must read’ for any discerning explorer
of this beautiful, distinctive part of Greece" .

"An important book that will kindle new research and
thinking on the political and literary history of the region."
