Product Description
Product Description
The Rough Guide to the Dodecanese and East Aegean Islands is the most comprehensive handbook to these two scenic archipelagos, comprising of 27 islands. This guide features a full-colour introduction showing the highlights of the islands, each with its distinctive personality, history, architecture and flora - from lush groves of cypress, pine and olive to volcanic crags and salt marshes. There are critical reviews of the best places to stay, from hostel dorms to five-star luxury hotels and detailed coverage of the best hikes, hidden beaches and historic monuments. As with all Rough Guides, there are detailed maps and plans for every region pinpointing listings and places of interest.

The guidebook covers the whole of the dodeconese so unless you are island hopping, I wouldn't recommend it. Also there are not enough restaurant reviews.

A wealth of information
24 Jun 2009
As I write, this book appears to be not available except through resellers. Presumably there will be a new edition. Unlike every other contemporary travel guide that I have seen, this book does not attempt to put a happy face on everything but is often quite critical. In fact the negativity sometimes seems excessive. However the author seems to have an opinion about every beach and every taverna, and, in my experience on five of the islands he reviews, his recommendations are quite reliable. There is a lot of useful information in addition to the reviews. There is an extensive history section and a lot interesting reading in quirky appendices ranging over everything from 17th century Ikarian bedding to the tuning of violins on Kos.
