Excellent portable Greek dictionary

I have a large Greek dictionary (National Textbook Company) for reference use, though I purchased this Greek dictionary for my trip to Greece as I needed a portable dictionary. My level of Greek language proficiency is moderate (I am able to converse in very simple conversations). I spent the past 3 weeks in Greece visiting islands and family, and this dictionary was extremely helpful. I highly recommend it if you want a very small and very complete Greek dictionary. Positives: 1) It is very small and light (i.e. portable), so I could carry it around in my backpack easily. 2) Very complete. I found practically every word I searched for, and I may use it for routine reference use as well. Negatives: 1) None really. The next best thing would be a detailed electronic dictionary (on a Pocket PC) that I could carry anywhere.
