DK Eyewitness Travel Guides Top My List

I like their layout: just enough background information, great pictures, maps, and dissected drawings of major buildings. Their Traveller's Needs and Survival Guide handle the basics. Everytime we plan a vacation it begins with a DK Eyewitness Travel Guide purchase.

Excellent overview of all the Greek Islands

OK, maybe not ALL the Greek Islands - that would be totally impossible in one book. However, this book does a nice job of touching on all the major Greek Islands. Although the smaller and less frequently visited islands only get brief mention, there is ample attention paid to the more popular destination. And after all, that's where you're most likely to go. If not, then this kind of book isn't for you anyway. Almost a year after our trip, I still pull this book off the shelf frequently to dream about another trip and another island chain. Plus, if you're going to visit Athens, this book does cover that subject as well.

Great when used in conjunction with another guide

I always buy an Eyewitness Travel Guide before I go anywhere and I have found the Greek Islands one to be very helpful - I'm about to use it on my second vacation there. The pictures and descriptions tell you so much more than a traditional guide book and it is a great help if you're trying to figure out where to go and want more than a text description. I get a better sense of the area and the attractions from the visuals in this book. That said, an Eyewitness Guide on its own is not enough - you should also get a "regular" guide book (for me, that's always Lonely Planet) for info on accommodations, dining out and the other practical stuff.
