Its 768 pages range from Athens and major archaeological sites to Peloponnese towns and islands including Santorini, Naxos, and Rhodes. The guide pairs historical context and cultural suggestions with self-guided walks, maps, and advice on making the most of travel time and spending. A Greek phrase book, packing list, and recommended reading add preparation resources alongside the listings for places to eat, sleep, and relax.
