HELLAS EX ALTIS

Militos Editions present the Greek audience with a luxurious collectors’ edition in the “Ex Altis” series, “Hellas Ex Altis”, with rare and unique aerial photographs by Giannis Giannelos and texts by Olga Tremi, journalist and presenter of MEGA Channel’s main news segment.
This is a book which stimulates the senses. A low flight of high specifications, as Olga Tremi writes in the prologue. Also, a detached view –somewhat somber– of the natural mosaic of a country in the midst of an unprecedented financial turmoil, bringing about a national melancholy.
Serene landscape, fields, seas, islands, monasteries, settlements, rivers, and also modern creations.

Photographer Giannis Giannelos describes the journey which led to this outcome: “The trips didn’t have any particular system or schedule. They lasted three years and took place throughout the whole year. They were difficult trips – expeditions with helicopter at 1,000 metres, hundreds of hours flying above Greece”.
