Lonely Planet Best of Athens

This was our bible on our first trip to Athens. It was the perfect size to carry along daily, and the maps were extremely helpful. We booked hotels and chose restaurants based on the book's recommendations... we were not disappointed!

Book was helpful, but maps are so-so

This small guide was very helpful to a recent short trip to Athens. The recommendations of where to visit and day-by-day tours were good. It was nice that the guide was small and fit in my back pocket. However, the maps leave something to be desired. You might want to purchase additional Athens maps to go along with the book, or ask your hotel for some.

love lonely planet

Athens is a great city. I had been there several times, waiting to see what has changd from 2000 year.

very useful guide to athens

My wife and i were in athens for 3 days and this little book was always in my pocket. it was very useful for us the entire trip. although some of the restaurant suggestions i'd question that's to be expected. the rest of the information was excellent. i found myself referring to the maps and area descriptions constantly. well worth the investment.

Nice overview of Athens' attractions

The book has good maps in addition to narrative. We used the "Eating" section and "Directory" most heavily, since we are not shoppers and had arranged a hotel through alternative means. We also used the Eyewitness "Top 10" guide and "Streetwise Athens" map, which provide additional perspectives.
