This review is from: Independent Travellers Greek Island Hopping 2004 (Paperback)

I'm sorry, but the book says Greek Island Hopping...it does not say Greek Island Hopping during the High season only. I went to the islands in March and the book was unhelpful because all of the information provided was for the high season. It was difficult to use the ferry information because it was WRONG. The island descriptions were accurate, but it was hard to use this book as a planning guide because it was not made for ALL travelers...only those in the high season. If you are going between October and April, I would not recommend this book.
