Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation-Wanderings in the Aegean. The islands from the 16th century until today

Wanderings in the Aegean. The islands from the 16th century until today

Which islands did Western European travelers visit and why? What did they observe and record? What survives to this day? How does island culture emerge? An online journey to discover the antiquities, mythology, traditions and many more "secrets" of the Aegean islands.

Following the success of online tours in Asia Minor, the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation is organizing a new series of meetings on the Aegean Sea. On the occasion of the website Travelogues – Through the Eyes of Travelers, this action aims to take the public on a journey to the island tradition of the Aegean from the 16th century until today.

The islands, which most of us visit mainly during the summer months, without learning about their history and culture, “hide” in the past and their tradition unique elements, which we will discover step by step in eight online meetings.

Through rare and rich iconographic material, the historian and charismatic guide Ioli Vingopoulou will accompany us on this journey to discover the antiquities, mythology, traditions and many other “secrets” of the Aegean islands.
