5.0 out of 5 stars Superb upgrade to a once medicore guide, 9 Feb 2002

By A Customer

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

Lonely Planet has finally got its act together and upgraded the badly flawed and messy 1st edition of its traveller's guide to Crete. The 1st edition while 75% there just had too many inaccuracies and inconsistencies to be considered a good guide: directions were often 180 degrees out, maps were incorrect, recommendations were strangely pitched at travellers with more money than taste and that front cover ...urrgh!

All that has changed with the new edition of the Crete guide, published in February 2002. This book, after an initial review by this critic, is a stunner and a winner. With a striking Minoan fresco painting as a front cover the book looks immediately tight and controlled. The two new special sections on the 'Minoans' and 'Back to the Hills' - a guide to outdoor activities - are well written and informative. Restaurant reviews now recommend dishes and give prices and hotel listings give much more useful information like email addresses and web pages. There is a whole new selection of sidebars that range from the funny to the cerebral. Some chapter re-structuring is now in evidence and information is that much easier to follow. New destinations are in evidence including the hitherto 'undiscovered' village of Mochlos near Agios Nikolaos. I thought only I knew about that place! Hats off to Greece specialist and veteran Lonely Planet author Paul Hellander who updated this guide: the expertise shows. I for one will be looking forward to my annual vacation this year with the Lonely Planet guide to Crete as my companion. Thank you LP!

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive guide for touring around Crete, 27 Feb 2001

By A Customer

If you are looking for a good overview of all possible things you can do on holidays in Crete this comprehensive guide is perhaps your first choice to start reading. It contains many useful tips on transport, lodging and attractions. I find this book particularly useful to determine what part of Crete suits you best, since Crete has far too many highlights to visit in 1 holiday. Once you picked your destination however, it might be advisable to look for a more specialised guide to that region. Some info in this book is rather outdated and you cannot rely on all details. Some info actually is so outdated that it becomes misleading and sometimes I got the idea the writer did not visit a descibed place at all or at least not in the last 10 years. However, a very good introduction to Crete, if this magnificent island is new to you.
