Written by a local expert, this guide offers comprehensive coverage of Crete's attractions, identifying the top 10 sights Crete has to offer, as well as highlighting the island's best shopping, sports, entertainment and children's activities. Shopaholics are well catered for with a dedicated section on shopping, with advice on the best places to find textiles, leather, clothing, edibles, art and icons, pottery and ceramics, jewellery and much more. An 'Eating Out' section provides information on where to go and what the local specialities are. For those wishing to explore beyond the island, a detailed excursion to the beautiful island of Santorini is recommended, with suggested visits to Fira, aa, Purgos and AkrotAiri. Insightful cultural advice on Minoans and the Cretan Renaissance gives you a deeper understanding of the island's heritage.

This book has given me the basis of the places I would like to visit when I go to Crete in June. It is good to have something to refer to when going to a new destination. As usual this pocket guide is first class.

I was really disppointed not to find the basic words in Greek in the pocket book. They are few words about eating out or how to rent a car but no basic words as Hello or Thanks...
