Synopsis

This guide to Greece covers all the islands. It includes places like Paleo Trikeri, off the Pilion peninsular, and Ayios Efstratios, a one village islet stranded in the middle of the Aegean. This edition includes coverage of the mountain areas, reflecting the increased interest in trekking to the Pindus and other ranges. The established sites and attractions are covered with a detailed description of Athens, from its museums and ancient sites to its clubs and bars. There is a key to beach and island hopping, big-city clubbing, mountain walking and historical touring.

Product Description

Greece: The Rough Guide

From the Author

8th edition of Rough Greece, bigger and better than ever.
The Rough Guide to Greece, now in its eighth edition, remains one of the most comprehensive (and longest-established) guides on the market. Marc Dubin, veteran Greek trekker and island-hopper, brings you the benefit of his expertise with the best hikes on Pilion and Epirus, as well as the inside story on the Dodecanese and East Aegean archipelagos (where he lives for part of the year). Another trek leader and botanist extraordinaire, Lance Chilton, has revamped the Peloponnese and Argo-Saronic islands. The sections on Thessaloniki, 1997 European Cultural Capital, and Mount Athos are the most in-depth available in English. Long-term Cretophiles John Fisher and Geoff Garvey distill the best of their stand-alone Crete guide to the Crete chapter of this book. Lance and Marc respectively turn in practical, readable sections on wildlife and Greek music, complete with a buyer's guide for CDs. And of course there's the in-depth history section, with a real grip on recent events and current trends. Some other guides may have more colour pics, gimmicks, whistles and bells; the Rough Guide's strength remains what it always has been - substance, Greek-speaking and -reading researchers (thus far fewer howlers!) and value for money facilities, neither dosshouse nor expense-account behemoths.
