First Sentence
At roughly 2000km and three hours by air from London, Corfu is the nearest Greek island to the UK and Ireland; its southerly siblings Kefalloniá and Zákynthos are barely half an hour's flight further. Read the first page Browse Sample Pages

This book covers just about everything you would need to know for a holiday in the Ionian islands, from general information to specifics about the various locations. It does however seem to be a little "yoof" oriented in its desire to let you know all about the bars and nightclubs. I would have liked to see a little more information about the eateries and a little more emphasis on the cultural possibilities of the islands rather than simply sitting on a beach all day. Nevertheless this book served its purpose well and I recommend it.

I would recommend its purchase, as it did not contain any factual errors as far as the island of Corfu was concerned. This was the only island I visited using the guide.

This book helped me to plan my holiday in Greece this year (09). It helped me form a balanced view of the Ionian Islands and I settled on Lefkas; this was a surprise since I had originally thought Lefkas to be somewhat dowdy. Time will tell!!
Listmania!
