A tireless explorer of the medieval monuments of our country and especially those of the forgotten and non-chivalric castles, he attempts with his writing pen to travel the romantic reader to the era of the knights of the West and the Greek heroes of the Middle Ages. Through the pages of this work, the reader has the opportunity to come into contact with issues such as the mystery of the lost tombs of the Villeardouin knight-princes, the settlement of the Knights Templar in the Peloponnese, the location of the legendary Byzantine castle of Araklovos, the unknown history of the Knightly house of Tremolaz, the exciting Battle of Prinitsa, the enigmatic (chivalric) origin of an eminent Greek family from the years of the Greek revolution, etc. And all this, through dozens of unpublished and rare photographs that capture even the most forgotten fortresses, thus giving the reader the unique opportunity to mentally walk the stone paths of medieval heroes...
