From the Back Cover
Europe's most ancient capital has sashayed into the new millennium in style after a decade of primping for the 2004 Olympics. Monuments and museums are refurbished, great restaurants have opened, and the nightlife still swings until dawn. For a change of pace, the Saronic islands are close by, and excursions north to Thebes and Delphi are easy, while just over the Corinth Canal lies the majestic, enigmatic Peloponnese, garden of Greece and cradle of her oldest myths, where names such as Olympia, Sparta, Arcadia, Mycenae and the River Styx hover on the fine line of dream. The authors' intimate knowledge of southern Greece will put you on the inside track, whether you want to visit five-star attractions, relax on a beach or discover secret places out of time.
Inside you will find: a special chapter on Athens 2004 Olympics; 35 maps and town plans; color touring-map section; stunning color photography; over 500 hotels, rooms, apartments and campsites; over 300 restaurants, bars, tavernas and kafeneions; practical travel advice.
