The talk is in two halves. The first half describes the different architectural styles seen in Russia, Georgia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece. The second half concentrates on Mount Athos (The Holy Mountain) and is based on a diary kept by the author while a guest in many of the monasteries during a ten day visit in 1966. The illustrations include many beautiful frescoes outside and inside (where permitted).

About Peter Covey-Crump

I am a retired Civil Servant living in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. My historical talks are based on research into family history and are illustrated with original documents. I am a keen photographer and this has inspired my travel talks.

I am prepared to visit group within 50 miles of Cheltenham (once this is possible). Meanwhile I can give talks anywhere on Zoom.
