Modern, Updated and Amusing Phrasebook

I am Greek-American and can speak both English and Greek. I bought this book for my amusement and was surprised that the book, unlike other phrase books, is a bit more modern as to phrase choice and very well-organized. I would suggest purchasing it, yet, keep in mind that in Greece most touristy places speak Greek and most Greeks under 35 know English in some form (as do other parts of Europe). Enjoy.

Not bad -- if you never use the toilet

Great book except that it lacks the most important phrase to learn when travelling abroad -- "Where's the toilet?" So before you go to Greece and get yourself in an uncomfortable situation, I suggest you scribble the following into the inside cover of your phrasebook: "Pu e toualeta?" You can thank me later. Another problem I found was the dictionary in the back, which lacks some essential travel words like "ticket". Not nearly as good as Lonely Planet's other phrasebooks.

Currency is out of date!

I just purchased this book and am dissapointed that the currency is out of date. While the book seems like a great one to take with you (small in size), to me it seems pointless to bring one along that has drachmas not euros in it.

I only want to take ONE book with me when I travel, and this one could not be it since I would need a seperate one to understand how to converse in Greek regarding euros. Otherwise, it is set up very well and I agree with the other reviewers... I'll be first in line if they publish an updated version! But for now I am taking this one back.
