 DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK October 2, 2007

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK, 26 Sep 2007
By O. J. S. Carter - See all my reviews
I took this on holiday with me this summer, thinking it looked good. Unfortunately, when arriving in Athens I discovered it had a few nasty shocks in store for me.
1. Several shops mentioned did not reside in the addresses given
2. The map of Athens is plain wrong - compare with other maps and you'll see street names are different. This drives you mad when you go to an address and discover that instead of a nice print shop with pictures of 18th century Athens is in fact an Embassy...hmmmm
3. No hint of opening times for establishments in Athens, making it a lottery as to whether you'll get what you want when you want.
4. Greece won Euro 2004, NOT the World Cup.
5. Battle of Thermopylae was 480BC, not 580BC.
Perhaps good for people who'd like to wander round Athens lost, angry, fed up and very hot.

I have numerous copies of 'Frommer's Greece' for the past 30 years, and I consider it the bible of Greek travel. There are other good guides, and they have their particular niches, but Frommer's stands out for clear writing, logical indexing, and especially for running the gamut from budget tourism to the more affluent. His starred system with comments for value or attractiveness to family is understandable with good common sense. In the end, if I have to choose one guidebook for Greece, its Frommer's. Studying it helps me make the decisions I personally want to make. It will save you many times the price of the book and make your stay much more enjoyable.
