A Thorough Account of Greece for the Hard-Core Traveller,
By D. R. Ransdell (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greece (Paperback)
This book offers engaging information and useful tidbits. It's more upscale than "Let's Go," but at 800 pages, offers more complete listings. It includes sets of attractive colored pictures. The maps are in black and white but very detailed. This guide provides practical information designed to get you around Greece. It includes information on ferry time tables and offers a range of places to stay and dine.

Missed valuable information,
By BR (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Greece 9th Ed.: 9th Edition (Paperback)
I, in general, use Lonely Planet books to plan our trips and have found, in general, the information to be reliable and helpful. I bought the Lonely Planet Greece 9th Edition (2010) to plan for our trip to Greece in Oct 2010. Although this new edition was helpful I found it to missed some valuable information, for example the list of tour companies in Athens was not organized in what they offer to give more clarity to the reader and missed also to mention some big and reliable tour companies like Walking Tours. We wanted to include a visit to the Cyclades Islands, in particular Santorini, and because I have an older edition of Lonely Planet Greek Islands 2000, I was hoping to get some newer information from the 2010 edition. To my surprise, the information provided in both editions about Santorini was very similar, very limited number of places to stay was mentioned, there is no reference to places to stay in Firostefani and Imerovigli, and it is very easy to stay in any of those and to reach Fira and Oia from any of them. There is a beautiful cliff top walkway all the way from Fira to Firostefani to Imerovigli to Oia, very easy to do part of it walking, or all of it, or combine sections of it with a bus ride (which is what we did), the only reference to this pass in the Fira section of the new edition is almost saying `don't do it'. Authors should give the facts, all the facts, and leave the readers to make their decisions based on all the facts provided.

This review is from: Lonely Planet Greece 9th Ed.: 9th Edition (Paperback)
Lonely Planet Greece 9th ed. is a great book. I am so glad that I got it to plan my trip to Athens. I also ordered the Athens Encounter and it too was a great book. Ordering it from Amazon was quick and easy as per usual. Strongly recommend this book if you're planning a trip out that way.
