Customer Reviews

useful
This book helped me to plan my holiday in Greece this year (09). It helped me form a balanced view of the Ionian Islands and I settled on Lefkas; this was a surprise since I had originally thought Lefkas to be somewhat dowdy. Time will tell!!

Covers most bases, but would have liked a little more "culture"
This book covers just about everything you would need to know for a holiday in the Ionian islands, from general information to specifics about the various locations. It does however seem to be a little "yoof" oriented in its desire to let you know all about the bars and nightclubs. I would have liked to see a little more information about the eateries and a little more emphasis on the cultural possibilities of the islands rather than simply sitting on a beach all day. Nevertheless this book served its purpose well and I recommend it.

Very good guide
I would recommend its purchase, as it did not contain any factual errors as far as the island of Corfu was concerned. This was the only island I visited using the guide.
