I would like to recommend this guide to people that would like to visit Greece. Originally I am from Greece and several times I've been asked to make some suggestion to friends about what travel guides to use. I've done some research on bookstores and I think this guide is well written very concise and covers the most important places. I think the writers must have really travelled a lot around Greece because they recommend places, like my hometown, that are not very well known but they offer some very important sights of interest. I have also learned things I didn't know before. In the past I had bought a similar guide for New England and I was very satisfied. I gave 4 stars rather than 5 because there can be some improvements in the greek spelling and in covering more recent historical facts. It's a guide you can enjoy reading from begining to end.
Indeed one of the best

Very handy for planning and during the travel

I generally prefer Michelin guides for planning travel because they are loaded with background stories about the points of interest. The three-star rating system is kind of handy too, although sometimes I don't agree with the rating Michelin gives, which is totally understandable. One thing I found very helpful during my travel in Greece was that Michelin always has the sites of interest listed in the native language as well as in English. I barely knew how to say "thank you" in Greek (efharisto), so I wasn't sure I could get around despite I was told Greeks are better English speakers in general. The world is not created for English speakers in mind, so there are times that the information is only available in the native language. At least being able to find out which way to go to get to the site I know better was such a relief.

Laconic and small, a perfect book to actually carry in your bag while walking around a city. The Green Guides direct you toward the most interesting sites and then the most interesting features of that site.
