Publisher's Synopsis
Popular islands like Spetses, with its beaches and lively nightlife, the beautiful scenery of the Peloponnese, peaceful havens like Ithaca and Simi, classical sites such as Delphi and Olympia, and medieval towns with outstanding churches and ruined Venetian fortresses - the variety Greece has to offer is enormous. This guidebook divides mainland Greece into four regions and the islands into seven major groups, describing the attractions - and what to avoid - in each. Everything within each region or island group is covered: towns, villages and resorts, what's worth seeing and which hotels and tavernas are good to stay at, beaches and scenery, the sites and their historical significance, and getting around by car, public transport and ferry. Further chapters explore Greece's history, art and architecture, mythology, wold flowers and eating out.
