The travel guide was organized really well. My major issue with the guide is that a lot of the info was wrong. The prices and hours of places were almost always wrong. They listed places that had been closed for years as still up and running or vice versa. I found a lot of great info on my own. This guide should be used as a supplement to other info and not the Greece Bible.
