Top 10 Athens

Got only a day to sepnd in Athens like we did. Then this pocket size travel book by DK is excellant. It has top qualaity printing and pictures and gives great amounts of information about the main sight seeing sites in Athens.

Athens Made Easy

Just returned from Greece. Book was handy to carry and very accurate. Nice to know the hours and days that a destination is open and available to visit before you waste time getting there and find out it's closed. Maps were accurate and easy to follow. Comments were right on target. Should be updated to reflect the opening the new museum that opened in June - fabulous to visit. Cab drivers are much worse than book indicates - should be a special warning about their tactics.

Awesome!! Worth every penny.

I am going to Greece later this year, and I bought this to start getting an idea of what to go see and what to expect. This book is great!! It is a great place to start, especially if you don't have alot of time on the trip and want to hit the "big stuff." I thoroughly enjoyed the overviews on all the different places. It gives you the hours, the prices, best times of day to go to places, best restaurants, etc. It even tells you what to avoid. I bought it with a few other books, which go into more detail, but this is the book you carry around with you as you walk around Athens as a reference material. It also has a laminated map of Athens in a pouch in the back of the book. This is a great resource, and it has got me totally stoked about my trip coming up!

Very thorough guide

This is a very thorough guide for when you have only a day or two to visit. It actually has way more in it than we could possibly see or do. Giving the top ten things to see is great for your first visit. It is also great for probably your second or third. Very helpful, lots of pictures and maps.

Just enough information

This guidebook is easy to follow with a good mix of photographs and texts. The maps are very good, and as a seasoned traveller visiting Athens almost annually, I found most of the restaurant and site recommendations accurate. The information on areas that are a day trip from Athens, such as the Peloponnese and Delphi, was also very helpful.
