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.

A beautiful, classy, picture journey!

This is a portable, soft cover, coffee-table book! It is beautifully crafted, with exquisite pictures, maps and diagrams of ancient buildings and modern towns. The book takes you on a cultural journey through Greece and its history. If you haven't visited Greece, it's a motivator. If you have, it brings back wonderful memories. This book is a broad sweep, you will need supplemental information, but it is unique in providing a visual overview of a beautiful and enchanting land!

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.
