Creatives and Tastemakers on the Greek Islands 🇬🇷🤍
ESCAPE Magazine No.5

Scattered across the blue Aegean, the Greek islands have long lured artists, poets, and visionaries in search of beauty and solitude. Their mythic light, whitewashed villages, and timeless rhythms have inspired generations—from writers and painters to musicians and style icons.

HENRY MILLER
The Original Expat Rhapsody

In 1939, writer Henry Miller visited Hydra and saw in its bare rock and whitewashed lanes a kind of sublime simplicity. “𝘈𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵,” he wrote in The Colossus of Maroussi. Hydra, with its stoic architecture and crystalline light, offered him a “𝘱𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯”—a place to reflect and marvel. He wandered the cobbled streets, visited Nikos Ghika’s mansion, and returned with prose that captured the island’s quiet magic long before it was discovered by the creative elite.

“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴, 𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘴, 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨.” For Miller, Greece was more than a backdrop: it was a spiritual awakening. His time on Hydra and across the country crystallized in The Colossus of Maroussi, often considered his greatest work, where he wrote of the land’s “wild and naked perfection” and the unshakable vitality of its people. Long before Greece became a stage for the international creative set, Miller saw in its islands an eternal muse—timeless, elemental, and inexhaustibly inspiring.
