4.0 out of 5 stars A good companion guide, but not on its own..., April 19, 2000

By	Simon Conant (Muenchen, Bayern Germany) - See all my reviews

This guide follows the vein of most Rough Guides, in that the information that the DO provide tends to be very in-depth (more though than other guides), however the scope of information tends to be somewhat lacking compared to others.

The maps are not as good nor plentiful as other guides, however on the positive side the anecdotal nature of their reviews of locations, restaurants etc are very insightful.

I'd suggest combining this book with another, and you'd be making the most of things by making the second book a Lonely Planet (say, Greece or Greek Islands) or the Greek Island Hopping 2000 from Thomas Cook.
