Customer Reviews

Ideal Island overview
Used this book extensively to plan our visit and throughout our holiday. Maps are useful, descriptions accurate and provides good general info on beaches, food, resorts etc. we agreed it with many of the reviews and recommendations and felt it gave an honest opinion of the great and not so good parts of the island.
We also went to Kefalonia for a couple of days and the book was good value when using it for both islands.
All in all this was a good buy - handy size to take each day and good value.

Handy Guide
This book covers Kefallonia and Zakynthos in equal proportions so is best for people visiting both islands. It mainly details sites to see such as museums and historical buildings. It briefly mentions the villages and surrounding areas with a useful map of both islands. It has a section on the history of the island, some helpful holiday tips and ideas of what to do on the islands. Overall a handy guide if your main interests are to do with museums etc. Also fairly useful to everyone else.
