About the Book

When a long-forgotten, apartheid-era arrest record derails Sally's plans for a Canadian family holiday, she packs her mum's 1978 travel diary and sets out solo for Greece instead. As she journeys to the landmarks her mother once visited - and discovers many more - Sally immerses us in Greece's awe-inspiring landscapes and fascinating heritage sites. She delights in absorbing the country's rich history and connecting the dots between legend, location and contemporary literature. Insightful, intelligent and with an infectious sense of wonder, Sally embraces a gentler approach to travel: facing her fears, abandoning old anxieties, and finding joy in the simple pleasures of her own Greek odyssey. The second release in the 'Packing for Greece' series travels to Athens and Delphi on the mainland; Nafplio, Mycenae, Epidavros and Methana on the Peloponnese Peninsula; and the islands of Hydra, Aegina, Poros, Kefalonia and Corfu (with a side trip to Albania).

About the Author :
Sally Jane Smith has lived on five continents and visited thirty-three countries, but she gives credit to Greece for turning her into a writer. She has worked in museums, universities, a language institute, a residence for people with disabilities, an art gallery, a primary school and a wildlife park. She also co-hosts two book clubs and assists the organisers of a biennial book-themed convention. She is currently based in Australia. Sally's first book, Unpacking for Greece, was selected by Greek News Agenda (a Greek government website) as Book of the Month for July 2023.

Review :
"Fans of legendary UK travel-writer and explorer of all things Greece and beyond, Patrick Leigh Fermor, will find a kindred spirit in Repacking for Greece author Sally Jane Smith." Jeffrey Siger, International bestselling author of 'The Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis" Mystery Series "With her distinctive voice and infectious passion for Greece, the Philhellene author invites readers to embark on an odyssey that celebrates wanderlust and the resilience of the human spirit." Major Greek-Australian newspaper, Neos Kosmos "Sally Jane Smith's clear-eyed memoir of her travels through Greece captures serendipitous and heart-rending moments, spinning her misadventures into page-turning stories. As she roams from Athens to Hydra - and sun-drenched, windswept points in between - she takes us on a journey through the dazzling sights of Greece and unearths her own family history. Repacking for Greece is a must-read for everyone who knows travel is the best way to get lost and to find ourselves." Melissa Joulwan, host of the Strong Sense of Place podcast "I have yet to come across another book on Greece that provides such a comprehensive account of the remarkable historical sites that Sally explored during her second visit. These places often go unnoticed by most tourists, but Sally delves deep into their history and the surrounding regions... These facts are like a hidden treasure for travellers. If you familiarize yourself with them before you embark on your journey, your entire experience will be elevated to another level. It will leave you with indelible memories and a profound appreciation for something truly extraordinary." Peter Barber, award-winning author of the best-selling 'The Parthenon Series' of humorous Greek travel memoirs "From a glimpse of Mandela at his release rally, to the sound of water splashing onto Greek stone, Sally took me on a sensory journey." Wendy Brooke, JourneyWoman book club host 'In this sparkling sequel to 'Unpacking for Greece', Sally Jane Smith embarks on another unexpected Odyssey to the country, this time carrying less baggage. Travelling solo, she leaves her anxieties behind and manages to find joy through the healing power of a land she has grown to love. An engaging companion, Sally's life-affirming book reminds us all to seize the moment.' Richard Clark, bestselling author and award-winning journalist
