Customer Reviews

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.

So many islands so little time

The Eyewitness Guide was an invaluable resource in planning a combined Greek Island cruise and an extended stay on Santorini & Paros in 1999.With so many islands it is impossible to fully cover them all in a guide , let alone visit more than a fraction of them.The main islands of Rhodes,Mykynos,Santorini,Paros,Crete etc are well covered;but even the smallest also get a good mention.Overall well worth having in the backpack and looks great on the coffee-table as a momento.
