Did you see this book ? The title is "GREECE" (AND THE GREEK ISLANDS). Author : Martin Howard. Published by Chartwell Books Inc., it is a division of Books Sales Inc. at Edison, New Jersey, U.S.A. Big color photographs, includes many photographs of Crete, and good photographs of the island Samos, ...This book is now for sale at Barnes & Nobles book stores in the U.S.A. "Bargain Priced" at $ 9.98 (I am not professionally involved with Barnes & Nobles, or the publisher). I recommend looking at the photographs in this book.
If a person was not ever on any island of Greece, seeing a photograph of a place at an island of Greece may not cause the person to understand why some people liked being at that place on an island of Greece. But, if a person read of a place on an island of Greece, in a travel guide book (such as the Lonely Planet book on Greece, 6th edition), that person might desire to see a photograph of that place.
i did see the book today at barnes. pictures were good, i didn't buy the book though.
