Publisher's Synopsis
Twelve contributors, nine of whom live in Greece year-round, combine historical and cultural insights with a feel for modern Greece as they take the reader through the city of Athens, the remote northern and central reaches of the mainland and the Peloponnese. The "Penguin Guide to Greece" aims to provide comprehensive coverage of the Greek islands, over 35 in all, including, Crete and Corfu, with a special emphasis on making them easily accessible to a first-time visitor.
