Definitely better than LP.

+ eco & sustainable tourism

- for the sentence: : "Lord Elgin ships Parthenon Marbles to England, beginning a long battle between England and Greece for their possession."

REALLY????? Lord Elgin SHIPS??? Why not to write the proper verb: steal-stole-stolen.
"Elgin Marbels" are stolen propety and should be returned to Greece. Not to Postcolonial British Museum of Stolen Goods from around the world.

I want photos!

Lists. Just lists. Seemingly arbitrary hotel and restaurant selections. About as useful as trip advisor. Obsolete upon publishing due to volatility of pricing of said hotels and restaurants.

Slightly better than the Green Guide Greece, but not great.

Thanks to Mickles for the gift, though!

Great resource for traveling. While a lot of information can be found online, I found it to be a great tool in understanding the history and culture of the islands
