 Beautiful but limited September 26, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book is absolutely beautiful, but its content for many islands is woefully brief. Since it leaves out the mainland, I would have hoped for more space on the Saronic Islands, for example. Thank heavens they included a brief section on Athens, since everyone has to pass through there sooner or later. But there is almost nothing on the rest of mainland Greece, which is another book. I wish the publisher would put them into one volume. Apparently this is the long awaited new edition.
Excellent maps August 8, 2007

I thought this book was very helpful for travel in Greece. It has so many colorful pages and it really highlights important information for each island. I especially found some of the maps for historic sites helpful. Overall this book is a great resource and very user friendly. However, I would supplement it with a book that has a little more historical background and written words.

I like their layout: just enough background information, great pictures, maps, and dissected drawings of major buildings. Their Traveller's Needs and Survival Guide handle the basics. Everytime we plan a vacation it begins with a DK Eyewitness Travel Guide purchase.
Greek Island reviewed November 10, 2006

The historical portion of the book is the same as the Greece Book which is Athens oriented. It is useful and gives a good background -- also brings into the picture the mythological setting of many of the ruins one would see in your travels. Although we only visited three (3) of the islands, the descriptions of what to see and do there was accurate and adequate.

We took a cruise that stopped at 5 islands listed in the book and found the information provided helpful to interpreting the cruise line's descriptions and deciding which land tours to take. We were able to by-pass several expensive tours yet see the major sites on our own.
