Kefalonia "lite" for package tourists
I am disapointed with this book, having waited 6 weeks for it to be delivered I was expecting something far more substantial and up to date than the thin volume I received. The whole book, even though it says it is a new addition seems out of date, referring to Drachma as the currency ( they went to Euros 2 years ago), and resorts which are now developed as "quiet"

The history section stops before 1900, the whole of second world war seemingly irelevent. There is only one small map at the beginning.

Frankly there is nothing here that you cannot gain from reading a couple of specialist brochures. This book seems more a series of pleasant photos of people sunbathing and of greek vistas with a few helpful hints for the first time visitor to greece, eg expect your meal served lukewarm than an attempt to provide serious visitor information.

After using Footprint, Lonely Planet and Rough guides in the past this is no where near the mark. I wont be using Landmark again.

A captain Kefalonia
This book was extremely helpful. We purchased it with the map and found that all the trips could be easily found. The informal style and wealth of information given obviously showed a passion for the island and this enthusiasm reflected onto us. The book hadn't prepared us for the beauty of Kefalonia which is probably a good thing! It gave excellent advise for day trips and for sourcing little known, less tourist-y beaches. Petani was stunning!

Very useful
hello, just been to Kefalonia, and this book was very helpful. It gave reviews of places to visit and which restaurants to use. the only thing missing was town plans as in other guide books. overall a very good guide book.
