The "Let's Go" series has been indispensible to me as a poor student and now as a frugal university lecturer. It has the best information for the budget tourist, and the new, slim volume is easy to carry--I won't have to tear out the pages and carry them around with me as I have with the fatter, thicker "Let's Go: Greece" volumes from the past. The new cover is also much more attractive than the old yellow and even older blue ones. As usual, this book offers historical explanations, tips, and practical information. It includes concrete information about ground transport (bus and ferries) and affordable places to stay and dine. The volume has useful maps and updated addresses for Internet cafes and English-language bookstores. The descriptions of cultural sights are somewhat uneven (the book gives a paragraph on Rhodes' Italianate Palace of the Masters but only four lines on the comparatively more important Archaeology Museum), but it lists the cultural highlights most visitors are looking for.
