A GREECE TRAVEL MUST! May 24, 2008 If you're going to Greece, buy this book. I booked my hotels and got all my travel info from this book! The book is complete and current!
Get the Lonely Planet May 13, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Took the Lonely Planet (published in 2006) and Frommer's (published in 2008) to Greece. The somewhat out-dated LP is so much better than the Frommer's and we used LP almost exclusively after the first 3 days. The Frommer's maps are frustrating and misleading. There is no (bus) directions for day trips out of Athens so you must either drive or join a tour. The information (history, background, etc) is fine but you can find similar information on the LP too.

I found this latest guide to be just what I was looking for. This covered all the areas of interest to me and gave specific info as to accomodations, travel time, and helpful hints. It has enough glossy photos and the layout was easy to follow. A good purchase!
Just OK... October 22, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
It had guides on where to stay and how to get around... didn't offer much in the way of background information/history that actually makes the site-seeing interesting!
Also, most of the 3-star rated restaurants or high-rated hotels, I would downgrade a bit. I'm not sure they lived up to all of the hype.
Very Helpful October 15, 2007 A very helpful, reliable and up-to-date guide book. It's clearly and concisely written with enough information to help you decide what you want to see in the area. It provides maps of major areas for those navigating by car to find tourist sites.
