2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointing addition to the Rough Guide series, 2 Jun 2000

By	rkmmorris@hotmail.com (England) - See all my reviews

Having just returned from 2 weeks in the Cyclades we realised after our second island hop that the Rough Guide to the Greek Island was out of touch with our wants and needs. The guide appears to be suited to the impoverished backpacker who would rather be discovering untrodden paths in a far flung part of the Indonesian archipelago rather than in a well developed EU member state. The authors were either not allowed to sample good food or accomodation, or were just in a rush to get something on the book shelves ahead of Lonely Planet. We tried several of the recommended restaurants and found them to be no more than average, the good hotels gave little to no detail apart from price. The places recommended to visit appeared to be based upon how untouched by tourism they were rather than on their beauty or interest. Frequently the most beautiful parts of the island were dismissed as 'best be avoided in season' by the authors in a manner that would suggest visitors to England would be best to avoid Bath, Oxford and Cambridge and seek out unspoilt towns such as Rochdale, Rotherham and Huddersfield which are less affected by crowds. Overall, this is the most disappointing of the Rough Guides I have sampled and 'best to be avoided'

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best!, 31 Dec 2000

By	kingswick2000@btinternet.com (Cambridge, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

I find it remarkable that anyone would find this guide a dud. For me it is quite simply the best guide you can get. Best because it is full of pertinent, relevant and accurate information. And it is written by people who KNOW the islands. Space dictates brevity, and l would like to see a second version published - alongside this one - full of expounded text and masses of exquisite colour plates: like a full-size Eyewitness guide. The Greek islands are not just physical inorganic entities but four dimensional experiences. From the ravishing wind and surf of the impossibly beautiful and romantic Aegean, to the noisy ferries that ply the islands, The Rough guide graps at Zephrs to bring us a Meltimi of information.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but a bit superficial, 11 Oct 2009

By	H. K. Watson "Woof !" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Greek Islands (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

Not really enough detail on each island. Better than the "whole-of-Greece" books though I would like to see a section on Athens added. Even though Athens is not an island (obviously) almost everyone has to pass through it to get to the islands at some point so a short section would be a useful addition.

Woof !
