Diane Shugart

Athens is flux, nothing stays still. So even after writing three books plus countless articles and guidebook entries, Diane Shugart still finds new things to ponder and explore. "It’s this unique energy, invigorating and inspiring, that keeps me in Athens for more than two decades and propels me into new fields of writing and research."
