Customer Reviews

Museum-quality guide !

I have just returned from Athens and was greeted by this beautiful just-released Knopf Guide. It was such a pleasure to revisit those sights I miss so badly - History, culture and the sights of Greece are presented in an easy-to-read, concise format, with superb graphic presentations. One almost feels like they are viewing the museums or ancient sites referred to within. This Guide is well-researched, fresh and definitely current !

Useful Book but too much info to sift through

I thought this book was useful but there was so much information to get through. When I travel, I normally don't read up on the local plant life or different species of insects in that area first. But there are lots of pictures and overall, it's a helpful guide. --Vicki Landes, author of "Europe For The Senses - A Photographic Journal"
