 Okay for what it is December 29, 2008

This is not a guidebook that you will want to bring with you on your trip. Rather, it will be helpful in the very early stages of planning, when you still haven't decided which islands you'll visit. The DK guides include a lot of pictures, sometimes at the expense of adequate text, and that's true here, where many islands only get one or two pages and most of that is photographs. So I recommend this book for browsing through to get an idea of which islands look appealing (and there's a handy chart at the front that tells you which islands have what types of amenities/excursions), narrow your planning down that way, and then look to a more thorough guide for specific recommendations, itineraries, and maps for those particular islands.

I just got back from Italy and the Greek Islands and I used this book and other Eyewitness books to learn about each one I visited. The Eyewitness series has a lot of great information about the history of the area and points of interest including lots of gorgeous photos. However, I wish the Eyewitness series would include more "survival" type information such as transportation, restaurants, etc. so that they could be the only guide I need to take. I felt like I needed another guide for that type of information and I did not want to carry more books!
Part of a great travel book series... March 9, 2008

We have used the Eyewitness Travel books for many years, and they just seem to get better and better. They aren't the only sources we consult, but they are the only one's we actually bring with us on vacation, as they seem to cover so many different types of places and activities well.
