3.0 out of 5 stars Poorly organized with small type, June 14, 2003
By Diego Banducci (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This book is a perfect size for travelers, it fits nicely in a pocket, but in shrinking the size, the publishers shrank the type as well, to the point where it is difficult to read.

More serious is the lack of organization -- much of the information is redundant and poorly classified. It appears to have been thrown together without much editing.

For larger cities, these defects would render it unacceptable, but it is difficult to find good travel books on Crete, and the content is better than most, which is why I rated it 3 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a stand-alone guide, but great for use on-site., August 15, 2007
By A. Horbinski (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having travelled the world with several Top 10 Guides, I can confidently state that no one should buy a Top 10 Guide expecting to use it as a travel bible, particularly if one is traveling on one's own, rather than a group itinerary. With that caveat, Top 10 Crete is another great entry in the Top 10 series. As always, cross-reference it with your tour guide or a comprehensive guidebook, then tuck it in your bag and you're good to go. The maps will never leave you lost, and the restaurants in particular are always tasty. The top 10 list format the guides use divides the island into manageable chunks and gives a good idea of what's a must-see and what can be done without.

My biggest complaint is the few niggling inaccuracies in some of the details about the archaeological sites (which no traveler to Crete should miss), but these will be noticed by (and bother only) the expert.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it, January 12, 2006
By Amanda Kraemer (Connecticut) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book had a variety of interesting tid-bits, but was not very useful. The Top 10 format (Top 10 Tavernas, Beach Resorts, Eating and Drinking Tips, Cafes, Mountain Walks, Moments in History,etc.)isn't good for planning your trip. The information provided under each top 10 items is only a few sentences long, so it isn't even comprehensive enough for you to decide if you want to visit that place. It was also impossible to look anything up in this book because its order made no sense to me. I wouldn't buy another Top 10 book. I got Fodor's Greece guide and found that much better. The only thing better about Top 10 was actually the map of Crete.
