Meticulously researched by an experienced team of experts, this in–depth guide is much more detailed and comprehensive than its major competition. You′ll find authoritative but fun–to–use coverage of all the classical sites, with valuable insights that will enrich your trip. We′ve provided all the background information you need to enjoy and appreciate what you′re seeing. Our authors have personally inspected and chosen wonderful hotels in every price cateogory; whether you want to stay in a rustic guesthouse or an exquisite beach resort, you can trust their opinions. They′ll take you to the most beautiful islands, where verdant hillsides tumble down to the blue waters of the Mediterranean. And since Greece can be a tricky place to travel, our guide is loaded with detailed city, regional, island, and town maps; it also features a handy language appendix, complete transportation information, and detailed directions for anything that′s hard to find. If you′re primarily interested in island–hopping, you might check out Frommer′s Greek Islands.
