 Too many pictures, not enough information October 8, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I expected more from this book after reading some of the reviews. I do really like the diagrams of the ports and some of the maps seem helpful but other maps are bad with scale and distances just plain wrong. I have also found many spelling errors... who edited this?
My biggest complaint though is the pictures outnumber the information. Some pages have 4-5 photos making each one so small you can't see much of interest in them. And the photos aren't that good to begin with, many actually look like scanned postcards.
This book seems to be a very unprofessional attempt at a travel log. There are other books on the market which do a much better job... don't buy the book just for the diagrams of the ports!
 Read this book September 12, 2007
This book goes into the history of each area. It is very comprehensive and well written. I learned a lot and enjoyed it in the process. The pictures are excellent and each area has a must see list. This book would be a great asset when deciding which excursion to go on. It will also let understand more of what you are seing while you are there.
New edition covers the bases May 15, 2007

I thought this new edition was very good. It has the info on shore excursions but also provides tips on getting around independently in all the ports. The excellent color photos and maps add greatly to getting a handle on the attractions and focusing on what you what to see. The background on the Mediterranean is also quite helpful. How can you go to this destination without knowing, and wanting to know, the fascinating history of this region.
 History Book not a Tour Guide May 14, 2007

We are planning a Western Med Cruise and wanted to get information on the different ports of call. The description of the book led us to believe this was the book we needed. What we received was a book that provided an extensive history lesson on the Med!
If you want to know about the different ports and what to see and what not to see find another book.
Not enough helpful info January 9, 2007

This is more a history book then a guide for where to go - when to take a guided tour and when you can strike off on your own - waste of money - need practical information - left my copy in the ship library.
