Customer Reviews

Not a stand-alone guide, but great for use on-site.

Having travelled the world with several Top 10 Guides, I can confidently state that no one should buy a Top 10 Guide expecting to use it as a travel bible, particularly if one is traveling on one's own, rather than a group itinerary. With that caveat, Top 10 Crete is another great entry in the Top 10 series. As always, cross-reference it with your tour guide or a comprehensive guidebook, then tuck it in your bag and you're good to go. The maps will never leave you lost, and the restaurants in particular are always tasty. The top 10 list format the guides use divides the island into manageable chunks and gives a good idea of what's a must-see and what can be done without. My biggest complaint is the few niggling inaccuracies in some of the details about the archaeological sites (which no traveler to Crete should miss), but these will be noticed by (and bother only) the expert.
