Kala Kala. Grecja dla dociekliwych

Kalimera! Good morning! The tenth volume of the series A World for the Inquisitive will take you to Greece and show you its lesser-known side.

Where does the word "alphabet" come from? Who were Bubulina and Melina? How to reverse the evil eye? Why do Greek grandparents play with beads? Can you eat the tears of an island?

Greece is not just about antiquity, mythology, philosophy, and sunny holidays. Let yourself be invited on a journey unlike any other. With this book, you'll discover pink beaches and deserted rocks in Greece, see ancient ruins and modern graffiti, climb the mountain of the gods, visit a sponge divers' school, and visit a village where an ancient whistled language is still spoken.

Greeks love music and dancing, have excellent cuisine, and are very hospitable. You can not only relax wonderfully here but also learn a lot. Did you know that the inhabitants of one Greek island have discovered the secret of longevity? What is it? Find out for yourself!

The World for the Inquisitive series presents the culture of different countries: it tells about places, characters, monuments, dishes and concepts that almost everyone has heard of, but few people really know the stories behind them – as well as about lesser-known ones that are worth knowing.
