3.0 out of 5 stars Sufficient but not great, September 15, 2000

By A Customer

Just returned from the Greek islands. I brought this Fodor's book and the Greek Islands book by Dana Facaros. While this book certainly had prettier pictures compared to the Facaros/Cadogan humble graphics, the Facaros book, hands down, had more AND BETTER information than this Fodor's book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read travel guide to exploring the Greek Islands, August 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Exploring The Greek Islands (Fodor's Exploring the Greek Islands) (Paperback)

This book is well written and covers travel tips on currency, transportation, accomodations and things to see while traveling the Greek Islands. Each region is separated and fully described island by island. It includes many color photos and maps. A definate must for the serious Greek traveler.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pictoral Trip to Greece, January 17, 2003

By	D. R. Ransdell (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

This is a great book for the traveler on a medium budget interested in a pictoral trip to the islands. The book rates the sights and gives highlights in each town without getting you bogged down with too many details about specific museum exhibits or lists of every possible tourist attraction. Such an overview is especially valuable to the first-time traveler. Detailed maps of the different islands show main driving routes. The colored town maps are abbreviated, making it easy to check for key spots. Extra tidbits of information about writers and historical facts are given in sidebars. The small but generous number of pictures gives you a feel for where you might like to go.
