This review is from: Let's Go 2001: Greece: The World's Bestselling Budget Travel Series (Paperback)

I am not sure Harvard makes you a good travel writer. Take what you think is the average Harvard student and stick them in the middle of a strange country on a very limited budget. Now imagine them writing a book about it--- that is Let's Go.

The books vary like the students (with no experience) that write them. They perform a decent job, but should be supplemented especially if the book covers multiple countries. If you are on a cheap budget then use their accomodation list and someone else's book to help you around.

Greece---the islands at least---is different... everyone and their dog will be waiting for you at the ferry landing offering you a place to stay. If you are with a goup take one of the offers, they are (inexpensive) and for the most part nice.
If you are alone, the people will just rent you a group room for the same group price. Traveling alone is the only time the Greece book will (marginally) help because you might be able to actually find something cheaper.
