Reviews by readers

Poorly organized with small type

This book is a perfect size for travelers, it fits nicely in a pocket, but in shrinking the size, the publishers shrank the type as well, to the point where it is difficult to read.

More serious is the lack of organization -- much of the information is redundant and poorly classified. It appears to have been thrown together without much editing.

For larger cities, these defects would render it unacceptable, but it is difficult to find good travel books on Crete, and the content is better than most, which is why I rated it 3 stars.

Not worth it

This book had a variety of interesting tid-bits, but was not very useful. The Top 10 format (Top 10 Tavernas, Beach Resorts, Eating and Drinking Tips, Cafes, Mountain Walks, Moments in History,etc.)isn't good for planning your trip. The information provided under each top 10 items is only a few sentences long, so it isn't even comprehensive enough for you to decide if you want to visit that place. It was also impossible to look anything up in this book because its order made no sense to me. I wouldn't buy another Top 10 book. I got Fodor's Greece guide and found that much better. The only thing better about Top 10 was actually the map of Crete.
