Purchase options and add-ons

This guide is geared to travelers who want to go to Greece for beaches, beautiful weather, island hopping, archaeological riches, and the capital city of Athens. Inside, you’ll find smart itineraries, important historic sights and museums, and the types of restaurants, nightlife, and hidden beauty spots that only the locals know about.

We'll start you off with an in-depth overview of Athens and rewarding day trips from there, before setting off to explore the most beautiful and appealing of Greece's many islands, including the Saronic Gulf Islands, Crete, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, the Northeastern Aegean Islands, the Sporades, and the Ionian Islands.

The book contains:

  • Insider advice on the best ways to experience some of the country's most dazzling historic sites and natural landscapes, including tips on the best views, the best scenic drives, and the best activities
  • User-friendly features including star ratings, detailed maps, and a pullout map
  • Exact pricing for hotels, restaurants, attractions, and more, so you can budget for your trip and avoid nasty surprises (no vague symbols for prices in a Frommer’s guide!)
  • Opinionated and detailed reviews of historic sights, museums, hotels, restaurants, and other attractions to help you find what will appeal to you—and what you can skip. Since our authors’ only client is the reader, no listing in this book is paid advertising. Frommer’s takes pride in its tradition of journalistic reporting
  • Large, easy-to-read fonts but thin paper, so the book isn’t too heavy to carry.
  • Helpful planning tips for getting there, getting around, saving money and getting the most from your trip

About Frommer’s: There’s a reason that Frommer’s has been the most trusted name in travel for more than 60 years. Arthur Frommer created the bestselling guide series in 1957 to help American service members fulfill their dreams of travel in Europe. Since then, we have published thousands of titles, becoming a household name by helping millions upon millions of people realize their own dreams of seeing our planet. Travel is easy with Frommer’s.

About the Author

Stephen Brewer is a book and magazine writer who spent a summer discovering Crete 30 years ago and has been returning ever since. While he's partial to the village of Vamos and the Lasithi Plateau on Crete, he's never set foot on a Greek island that he doesn't like. He's also spent much time hiking around Olympia and Nafplion and exploring other parts of the Peloponnese as well as Athens.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really helpful in planning my trip
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2023
A lot of solid information and on the mark recommendations helped me get around and choose what to see and where to stay in Athens and on several islands. All the coverage was excellent and thorough, and I espeically appreciated the tips on getting off the beaten path on Crete and for what to see and do on Milos and Tinos.

3.0 out of 5 stars Both too much and too little info
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2023
Our trip was to Athens and then an extended driving trip on the mainland. For Athens, we found a specialized guide focused on just Athens to be more useful. And this guide had very little info for locations on the mainland outside of Athens. That is consistent with the books' title and purpose, so not a shock and probably not a criticism. This book may be perfect for someone making a quick stop in Athens before heading off to the islands. But I found it a lot to carry for very limited info for our particular journey.

1.0 out of 5 stars Soooo disappointing
Reviewed in Canada on February 2, 2024

Frommers used to give great recommendations for accommodation, restaurants, shopping etc. Now there is just a little paragraph for topics, no information to send you to anywhere with quality and pricing. I've done much better surfing the internet for ideas about what to do in Greece, how to telephone, etc. Something went wrong
