Girls Of The Mediterranean

A BREATHTAKING TOUR OF A REGION RIPE WITH BEAUT1

,he most striking thing about

the coastal regions of the

Mediterranean is the jux­

taposition of ancient cultures and

architecture with hot, tautly curved

young women dressed in designer

nothingness. Documentation of these

women's mystique can be traced to

ancient Greek mythology, particu­

larly Homer's chronicle of Helen

of Troy, the fabled Mediterranean

knockout whose lethally attractive

face launched a thousand ships

and sparked the Trojan War. Today,

photographers for playboy's Medi­

terranean editions spend their hours

combing the cities and villages in search of arresting pulchritude. Beautiful women can be found stroll­ing among the whitewashed villas of Greece's coastal towns, frolicking in the picturesque Italian countryside, cavorting on the pristine beaches of Croatia and meandering through the crowds on the narrow stone streets of Spain. We culled playboy's interna­tional editions from Greece, Spain, Slovenia, Croatia and Italy and found 10 ravishing examples of what this glorious region has to offer. As you'll discover, the coastlines aren't the only views worth taking in.
