I bought this book before visiting Greece and read it while I was on the plane. I have never been a geography or history buff, so I didn't know much about Greece or its culture and history. Everything from the phrase book to the history sections were very insightful and made my trip that much more enjoyable.

I've traveled to Europe several times over the past 3 years and purchased various travel ebooks for the planning of each trip and as a guide during the trip. By far the best and most reliable is the MobileReference “travel” series. I like knowing the hours and cost of sites. Also the restaurants and hotels recommended by the authors of the guidebook have always been better than expected. Love how everything is described in detail. In a country where I don't speak the language, I expect to be prepared when I walk out of my hotel room and I was. I will always use MobileReference whenever traveling to Europe.

Limited value for a traveler to greece... more like a backgrounder. Spend $5 extra bucks and buy a real travel guide.
