Book Description

Nelles Guide Greece October 2000
These great-value guides cover destinations far and wide around the globe. Established in 1990, Nelles Guides sought to provide travelers with comprehensive destination coverage in a handy, take-along format. Today, the tradition continues.

Nelles Guides are researched and written by local correspondents and are updated regularly. Each book has a well-rounded introduction that delves into the country's history and culture, tempting the reader to explore. The "What to See & Do" section for each area can cover anything from sightseeing and driving tours to jungle treks and visits to the local museums. You'll find detailed entries for restaurants, shopping, entertainment, festivals and more. All accommodations are categorized by price level, making it easy for the reader to select a place to suit his/her budget. Practical travel issues -- health concerns, climate & clothing, visa requirements, currency, transportation, etc. -- are also addressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tour Guide's Perfect Book, October 13, 2001
This review is from: Greece: Mainland & Peloponnese (Nelles Guide Greece) (Paperback)
Not only have I read this book, but I also use it for the archaeological tours I conduct in Greece. It's the finest book I've found for keeping the general adult appropriately informed and interested. It avoids being shallow but stops short of the overwhelming detail provided in other guides, such as the Blue Guide. There were some small problems here and there. For example, the distances from one site to the next were sometimes way off. But if you use the maps provided, you won't be misled.

The synopsis of Greek history in the introduction is excellent. The students read it, understood it, and retained it. It was a perfect baseline for my own comments and lectures as we moved around the mainland.

My students unanimously agree that of all the books they have to carry around with them, the Nelles Guide was their favorite. My next tour (May 2002) will include the Greek islands (...). Without even having seen it, I've ordered Nelles Greek Islands as the main text! That's how much confidence I have in this series.
