2.0 out of 5 stars The usual inaccuracies, 25 April 2007

By	realmusic4me (UK) - See all my reviews

This book contains the usual Lonely Planet attributes of glaring ommissions, inaccuracies, strange recommendations and howling errors. And then there's the endless padding out of accommodation/restaurant listings to make up the weight. It feels like it has been rushed together, even though it's the third edition.
However, there is still quite a lot of useful information that you may not necessairly find out elsewhere - the trouble is, you don't know if those bits are the accurate ones until you find out for yourself.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy the 'Rough Guide' instead, 26 Jun 2009

By	worst_trip "k" (a bloody bad place) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crete (Lonely Planet Regional Guides) (Paperback)

This one's a terrible Lonely Planet guidebook. We generally prefer the content and style of the 'Lonely Planet' range to the 'Rough Guides' but in this case buying this Crete book was an utter waste - we left ours - a spanking new, 2008 edition at our hotel at the end of the holiday as I felt I didn't want to be responsible for inflicting its awfulness on anyone else by selling it on through the medium of Ebay.

Why's it so bad? Well, Ms Kyriakopoulos, the book's Aussie author, despite having spent a whopping 57 days in total in Crete, allegedly 'researching' the content of the guide (it tells us this on the back cover) obviously hasn't done her homework properly. I can only comment on the section on Iraklion district / northern Crete as that's the place we started - and stopped - using her information, but frankly we found she routinely gets her basic details wrong - opening times of museums, bus routes, locations of shops - again and again, the book proved it unreliableness to us and we soon discarded it as being of no further use.

I haven't encountered anything like this in any of the many other Lonely Planet guides we've owned over the years - the badness of this one is entirely down to Ms Kyriakopoulous' slipshodness, I think. Much of the discrepant info could easily have been confirmed by phone or over the internet before the book went into print; there's no excuse these days for this sort of thing really.

Incidentally, that one star I've awarded this product stands for 'this book is utter pants'

5.0 out of 5 stars Crete for the virgin traveller, 15 Jun 2009

By	Mr. P. Robertson (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Crete (Lonely Planet Regional Guides) (Paperback)

I hope this will prove to be a very useful book. Its size means that it is portable which will prove handy on the island. The pages are clearly laid out with all the information one could wish.
