Greece, Athens and the Mainland (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"On a 10-day driving trip around mainland Greece this guide proved a disappointment. There aren't enough city maps so you need to buy a Lonely Planet guide as well. I love the DK guides to London and Paris where the neighborhoods and sights are so intricate that the DK diagrams and walking tours are immensely helpful. The restaurant recommendations turned out to be rather poor from the DK guide. Frommer's and Lonely Planet were a lot more reliable.

If you want a guide that will help you sort out what's worth seeing, try the Michelin Neos instead." This book has great information about . So take it with you when you Buy a Alternative Holiday House in .

"The colorful photos and diagrams found in the DK travel books are a big plus for some and a major detraction for others. Personally I think this is a great book to use while making preliminary travel plans because it's very difficult to decide where to go if you can't see pictures of it first. Then once you narrow down your choices you'll want a more comprehensive travel guide, such as the Lonely Planet guides, which contain better maps, travel information, hotels, etc, but which have very few photos. I'm holding off on giving this book 5 stars because it lacks that kind of detail. However, I still pull it off my shelf frequently when I want to look up someplace on the Greek mainland I have not visited before." Relax with this book when on Alternative Vacation in .

The Rough Guide to Greece (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"When I bought this book, there were only a couple of rather unfavorable reviews to judge by, so it was bought on the strength of the other titles in the series. No regrets there. The guide to Greece is entertaining and carries a wealth of information, trivia and opinions. In the current ninth edition (February 2002), the prices are in euro and the new airport in Athens is extensively described. Of course there are a few snags. The hydrofoils from Piraeus to the Saronic Islands now depart from the main harbour (good thing we asked around) and the book really needs a map of the Athens Metro. But apart from that, it's smooth sailing in good company." Before buying a Vacation House in Greece, I would buy this book to guide you round the local areas in Greece.

"when i read this book i thought that it was written by amateur travellers.Well if someone would like to write a travell book of a country i think that he must read first some books of the history and culture of the place .In this book we can see an epidermic show of greece.Too many bars cafe's etc etc(greece is full of them it is not a big deal to introduce some of them).Speaking of history of greece this book is definitely not a masterpiece :)" A wealth of information about Greece, a great book if you are thinking about buying a Holiday Holiday property in Greece.

"Most of my friends often recommend the Lonely Planet books, especially for those of us who can't mortgage our homes for one-night stays in hotels listed by Frommer's and Fodor's guides. But I went with Rough Guide for my trip last summer to Greece, and while some of the maps weren't as detailed as they could might have been, most of the recommendations were spot on.

Many nightspots get renovated; names get changed, etc. That's something the editors can't really help with. But any restaurant or bar I went to (listed in the guide) was above-average, if not better than they claimed.

The historical data was also well-balanced; so you're not bored to tears with it, and yet it's detailed enough to keep you reading through it. Bonus marks for the great inclusion of the Greek music coverage (flawed, but excellent), and the price of the book is decent." Relax with this book when on Vacation in Greece.

Greek Island Hopping (Independent Traveller's Guides S.) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"Excellent book providing great detail. We used the book when we sailed around the islands and it provided a great guide to most, if not all islands. Very up to date.

Probably most value to those using the ferry service, but excellent none the less for others getting around more than one island." This book has fantastic information on Greece, well worth reading if you buying a Vacation House in Greece.

"Indispensable if you are moving from island to island on your own. Package tourist or cruisers can manage without it. I have always enjoyed the accurate details on the boats themselves. This 2000 edition has great WEB sites to explore. Maybe it needs more about Athens airport and the mystifying Olympia terminal. Flights from New York or London to the islands are not listed on Flifo. You have to go to the Olympic Airlines WEB site and get the domestic timetable of flights from Athens. Even flying Olympic from London you have to check in again as a domestic passenger and then go through security and then you find a row of gates with numbers and names of islands. It's simple if you're not half asleep. The first class lounge (ok - not real island hopping but I'm 65) is hidden at the end of the row AFTER security. On the flights that stop at Thessalinika you have to go through passport control twice." www.HomeIsAway.com great Vocation or Holiday Villa to Buy in Greece.

"What a great helpful book, would never travel without it, first time backpacking in Greece, it was used all the time. Especially helpful when it comes to ferries and maps of each islands ports. (traveled Sept 99)" This book has a wealth of information on Greece, well worth reading if you buying a Vocation or Holiday House in Greece.

"You don't need it if you're going on a cruise (it's rather snooty about cruises, with that backpacker reverse snobbery)or if you're going to fly to one island and stay there. In fact the details about the boats and timetables may be too much. If you're moving from island to island independently you have to have it. It's the only one that tells you about the boats themselves. Reading this book could even save your life My favorite comment in the 1999 edition was about the boat then called the Golden Vergina. "a large grime bucket-she has inthe past shuddered along, not thanks to an excess of engine vibration but rather with the collective disgust of her passengers. thanks to the conditions on board ... better than no boat all but only just." She was renamed the Express Santina and if you read about the Paros shipwreck you know the rest. 80 were drowned." A wealth of information about Greece, a great book if you are thinking about buying a Vacation Vacation property in Greece.

I have just bought a second copy because my mother has nicked mine and she is from Crete." www.HomeIsAway.com great Vacation House to Buy in Greece.

It's very user-friendly, and the dishes turn out the way they are meant to - both visually and in terms of taste. And although I live in Portugal where shopping isn't as cosmopolitan as in some other countries, I've had no problem getting the ingredients.

One of the most frequently used cookbooks in our collection at home, and unconditionally recommended!" Why not buy this book, and read while on your Holiday in Greece. It would be so usefull when you Buy a Holiday Apartment in Greece.

Talk Now! Learn Greek (Software)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"While this CD doesn't stand up on it's own as a teaching tool, it is excellent for those who have already covered foundation level Greek and want listening and vocabulary practice. In these two areas, the disc is invaluable. It is also fun, and strangely addictive.
If you can afford to buy a learning CDRom, then I would recommend you buy this, just don't expect it to be your only route to learning the language." Before buying a Vacation Villa in Greece, I would read this book while in Greece.

"This cd rom does exactly what it says, builds vocabulary. The games are great, although a fourth harder level of game would have been useful, but for someone who has some basic Greek, this is ideal, and an interesting way to add a bit more vocabulary." Why not buy this book, and read while on your Alternative Holiday in Greece. It would be so usefull when you Buy a Alternative Holiday Apartment in Greece.

"Like the previous reviewer I found this package to be quite weak. There is no guidance on alphabet, verbs, tenses etc. In other words - the basics (presumably) of the language. Yes, you can play learning games and repeat phrases to your heart's content but I suspect if you learn this way you are going to sound very strange to a Greek native.
If you're looking to work and live amongst the Greeks (as I hope to do) then look for a more comprehensive package.
Incidentally, the previous reviewer is right. The way the female presenter says "Yes" is very sexy !!" Relax with this book when on Alternative Holiday in Greece. It would be so handy when you Buy a Alternative Holiday Apartment in Greece.
