Fodor's Greece

Even in mythic Greece, everything old is new again. While ageless in the appeal of its ancient ruins and sunbelievable beaches, Greece now has a hip and happening vibe. The post-Olympic "European" country is burgeoning with luxe resorts, hot restaurants, and sophisticated nightlife that challenges the Zorba-era conceptions of the spartan Aegean. To track all the buzz, this new edition comes newly loaded with photos, magazine-like features on Greek style, and expanded island coverage. If travelers want to find out where Zeus's sky is faultlessly azure, Poseidon's sea warm, and Dionysus's nightlife swinging (especially in Mykonos's discos), this is the one guidebook to buy. New photo-rich special sections on Greek culture, food, and history include "Oppa!: How to Dance like Zorba," "Ye Gods!: Who's Who in Greek Mythology," and "Let the Games Begin!: A Visit to Olympia." New "Experience Greece" chapter highlights the top attractions, the best beaches, practical itineraries, and tips for planning your trip. New "Cruising the Greek Islands" chapter has reviews of every major cruise line and itinerary sailing the Greek isles. Unique topographic, interactive maps of each region in Greece. Names of major cities, towns, and ports of call appear in English and Greek.Fisher, Robert I. C. is the author of 'Fodor's Greece', published 2008 under ISBN 9781400019113 and ISBN 1400019117.
