5.0 out of 5 stars Don't go without it!, 30 Oct 2008
The Rough Guide to Crete (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
A well organised and comprehensive guide to Crete, providing detailed, basic practical and general information as well as it's history. Easily navigated, the book details each of the island's 4 prefectures, giving good, descriptive information on the major towns, their highlights, and street maps. The surrounding areas are well described and easily driven, though you do need good detailed map to supplement those in the book. There's lots of information on the best places to visit - villages, scenic countryside, some walks, and plans of many of the ancient sites of the island as well as text to help make sense of them. Useful information on where to eat and stay is provided throughout, with price guides.

There's so much to see on the island that we'll have to return to get best use from the book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for those who want to explore., 22 Mar 2009
We travelled to Western Crete twice last year ('08) and bought a few guide books before the first trip, however, this one was the only one to make the second trip (and will be with us again this year when we visit Central Crete). This edition was published in 2007 and we did find a few inaccuracies such as a recommended taverna that was no longer in business. I suspect that these were recent changes, but generally the guidance is accurate. We certainly visited places that we would never have found without this guide.

As with all Rough Guides, there are relatively few colour photographs, but it is the detailed and descriptive "local knowledge" that really stands out. Recommended for those who want to explore Crete. If you are happy to sit by the hotel pool, walk to the nearest beach and go on guided tours you probably wont get much use from this guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars I trust Rough Guides and this didn't let me down!, 18 Sep 2009
By J. Morgan (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I always aim to buy a Rough Guide over other guide books because I like their down to earth style and no nonsense reviews. I was pleased to see that the Rough Guide to Crete is no different. It splits the island up into sections which is handy when you're working out what you could feasibly see in a week. Its section on the history and mythology of Crete was great (a particular interest for me). It really came into its own on our final day when we found ourselves with several hours to kill before our evening flight - the RG said that we could leave our bags at Chania bus station and gave great recommendations on what to do and where to eat - we followed its advice and had a brilliant last day. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because it doesn't have many colour pictures and the very dense text can be hard to follow sometimes.
