About Stuart Thorpe
I was born in England. My parents didn't consult me about this, but that's okay.
I first fell in love with Greece in 1974, and with Naxos a few years later, and since then have visited more than 30 Aegean islands. Naxos is an enduring love affair and I have been living here since 1998, and I reckon I know the island quite intimately. I was a professional travel photographer during the 80s and 90s and also ran my own small gallery in Germany where I lived in a previous life.
I have always enjoyed writing but until now, this has been limited to very short stories and varous bits and pieces, so I am thrilled to have actually, finally, written a book. It has been a very satisfying experience and a lot of fun; hardly seemed like work at all, so in all likelihood I will be writing another book before long.
My body of work includes art photography, examples of which can be seen on the "galleries" page of this website.
