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:

• User-friendly features including star ratings, detailed maps, and a pullout map

• 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
