Product Description

The 2009 edition of the 'A to Z Guide to Santorini' is a complete and comprehensive guide to the Aegean island of Santorini. The book covers in depth the history and myths of the island including Atlantis, the history of the volcano, the archaeological sites of Akrotiri and Thera, what to see, car hire and public transport, where to go, what to do, eating out, the best beaches, shopping, travel information, maps, organising a wedding on the island and a host of tips and hints for the holidaymaker and traveler. The author, Tony Oswin, is an ex-pat from the UK, now living on the Greek island of Thassos. He realised the need for such a book on his numerous visits to the Greek islands, during which he always found it difficult acquiring information locally. The book is therefore aimed at helping the visitor save time and money, both prior to and during their visit and to get the most out of their stay on this dramatic and beautiful island. Other Greek islands covered in the 'A to Z Guide' series are Thassos and Kos.

Customer Reviews

Very helpful and highly recommended
This book helped my girlfriend and I make the most of our 7 days in Santorini. It told us about places to go and things to do which we probably wouldn't have known about if we had not purchased it. The book does not have pictures which is a shame as this could've encouraged us more to visit other places and it would've made the book more appealing. However, overall it was very helpful and I do recommend it. My girlfriend and I did speak about how it was good that we had purchased the book and how it had helped us quite a bit.

Excellent guide to Santorini
I'd had Tony Oswin's guide books recommended by a friend, and now I can see why. This book delivers exactly what it promises. I'm not worried about the lack of photographs - I take my own when travelling as a record of my memories, not those of someone else. As a guide for gaining a quick understanding of relevant history and culture and to planning visits, the book works very well.

Santorini 2009
