About the author

Dana Facaros (facarospauls.com) has been in love with Greece since she was 14 years old and spent a summer on her father's native island, Ikaria. She studied ancient Greek, mythology and classics during a brief stint at university, and she has been visiting and writing about the country since 1977, when she wrote her first guidebook - to the Greek islands. Facaros later co-authored the Cadogan guide to the whole of Greece, published in 2003. Since then she has become a Greek citizen and writes frequently about Greece for the Sunday Times and Sunday Times Travel Magazine. While writing this Bradt guide to northern Greece, she was inspired to create the Greek Food Decoder app, which she often wished she had had in the tavernas off the beaten track. She has also written two other Bradt guidebooks, plus numerous titles for Cadogan.
