Useful, but needs a Metro Update

This map is typical of the "Streetwise" series: Easily folded , LAMINATED (which makes it easy to write on, and keeps the map from falling apart when wet), and with handy stuff like metro stops, hotels. All landmarks the tourist needs to navigate around the town. The Athens one concentrates, naturally on the area around the Parthenon; the rest of Athens is on the other side. However, a new edition is certainly warranted as the metro now extends out to the airport, and the important hub of Syntagma Square isn't listed, and some Lat/Long lines would be great for us GPS-geeks.
Overall worth taking with you.

Smaller than expected

When you review the specifications of this map you see 8 papes what you are not told is when you unfold the entire map it only measures 8 1/2 by 32 inches.
it only covers " downtown Athens " I was looking for a resturant in the outskirts of Athens hopeing I could find it in this map.

I purchased a map in Athens a few years ago which is more complete.

I wouldn't recommend this map to anyone.

I also purchased a Michelin road map to Greece and it was just as I expected very detailed map
