The best one for moving around,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Greek Island Hopping (Paperback)
This is the best one if you really are moving around from island to island. I found I discarded the others as I travelled. Even if you get stuck somewhere waiting for the slow boat it tells you interesting stuff about the slow boat. One thing they should mention is that when one of those ticket-selling places tells you the next hydroplane is full and you have to wait six hours for the steamer, they only mean they are out of tickets - the place next door may have some. Not great on atmosphere and history.

Indispensable,

This review is from: Independent Travellers Greek Island Hopping 2001 (Paperback)
You don't need it if you're going on a cruise (it's rather snooty about cruises, with that backpacker reverse snobbery)or if you're going to fly to one island and stay there. In fact the details about the boats and timetables may be too much. If you're moving from island to island independently you have to have it. It's the only one that tells you about the boats themselves. Reading this book could even save your life My favorite comment in the 1999 edition was about the boat then called the Golden Vergina. "a large grime bucket-she has inthe past shuddered along, not thanks to an excess of engine vibration but rather with the collective disgust of her passengers. thanks to the conditions on board ... better than no boat all but only just." She was renamed the Express Santina and if you read about the Paros shipwreck you know the rest. 80 were drowned.

Greek Island Hopping..what a book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Independent Travellers Greek Island Hopping 2001 (Paperback)
Excellent book providing great detail. We used the book when we sailed around the islands and it provided a great guide to most, if not all islands. Very up to date.Probably most value to those using the ferry service, but excellent none the less for others getting around more than one island.
