Product Description
Athens is still fresh and invigorated after its Olympic face-lift: amble between crumbling temples, enjoy a frappe in a characterful Monastiraki cafe, then trawl the shops for traditional sandals and Byzantine rings. Dine at Piraeus for waterfront views or at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the luminous Acropolis. Raise a toast to Dionysus in a friendly barakia or dance until dawn. Your odyssey begins here. INSIDER INFORMATION - our expert author reveals local secrets and hidden gems.
SLEEP SOUNDLY - hand-picked hotels; choose from chic designer rooms, grand palaces and charming family-run pensions.
DINE ON MEZEDES - our favorite souvlaki joints, old-style taverns and the latest hot spots.
LIVE IT UP - the city's best live music and performance venues, clubs and neighborhood bars.
NAVIGATE THE CITY with our clear, comprehensive fold-out maps, itineraries, and walking tours.

 small pocket book November 24, 2008
I just returned from Athens and had forgotten to get some descriptive table top type books that I saw in the Plaka. This is a tiny pocket guide. Was not what I thought it was.

This was our bible on our first trip to Athens. It was the perfect size to carry along daily, and the maps were extremely helpful. We booked hotels and chose restaurants based on the book's recommendations... we were not disappointed!
 Book was helpful, but maps are so-so September 28, 2007

This small guide was very helpful to a recent short trip to Athens. The recommendations of where to visit and day-by-day tours were good. It was nice that the guide was small and fit in my back pocket. However, the maps leave something to be desired. You might want to purchase additional Athens maps to go along with the book, or ask your hotel for some.

very useful guide to athens May 14, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My wife and i were in athens for 3 days and this little book was always in my pocket. it was very useful for us the entire trip. although some of the restaurant suggestions i'd question that's to be expected. the rest of the information was excellent. i found myself referring to the maps and area descriptions constantly. well worth the investment.
