This review is from: The Rough Guide to Crete 7 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

At first I thought this book has too much detail and I will never use it, but now I find that is the first book I go to. I lived in Iraklion 40 years ago and I am planning my first return next April. Crete has changed a great deal, and this book is helping me to find the 'old Crete' that I remember. Rough Guide may not be helpful if you have 2 or 3 days in Crete, but I am planning an exended stay and this book has the information I want to plan my return visit.

Well after completing my tour book for Crete, I feel that I am much more prepared for my upcoming three week visit to the island. I really enjoyed the parts that dealt with the history of the island.

A lot of useful and reliable /proved by practice/ information for Crete travellers!

Example: When asked for some info from hotel reception they started to wave hands, making big eyes and calling mobile phones / really eager to assist-many thanks / - but after reading relevant item with Rough Guide later on - here it is - all clear

Together with Rough Guide Map Crete makes us a must while visiting Crete !
