Great guide July 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The guide starts with an excellent section on the basics of travelling to Crete: How to get there from the UK, Ireland, North America, Australia & New Zealand; visa issues; tourist information; insurance & health; money; transport; accommodation; eating & drinking.
The main part of the guide is divided by geography into 4 parts: Iraklion, Lasithi, Rethymnon and Hania. Each of the sections provides details of how to get there and around, and where to stay, shop, eat and drink. The main sights are covered in detailed multi-page descriptions. However, the provided maps are fairly poor as they are slightly too abstract and small, and only show the names of very few roads which makes it hard to find your way around.
The final section gives some useful context about Crete. Crete's history is summarised on 17 pages, and even more concise with a two-page chronology. The section goes on to describe the discovery of bronze age Crete, Crete in myth and Crete's wildlife.
Overall, a very good and comprehensive guide, even though I got a few times due to the poor maps.

This is an excellent book, lots of useful practical information and full of all the stuff you need to know when arriving in a strange new country i.e. where to stay, eat, etc. And the 'fun stuff' is covered as well i.e. the best places to eat and party in Crete(I'm a bit biased on this point since the book mentioned a club that I went to and met this fabuluous girl...but that's another story! ;0) )
Very descriptive and helpful August 18, 1999

This book was great, without it I would have been totally lost in Crete, especially when it came to finding work it led me to the right tourist information centre - I would recommend it to everyone who is thinking of travelling to Crete
