GREECE - TRAVEL GUIDES

"I first visited Greece as an 18-year-old, sleeping on the decks of slow-moving ferries, living on olives and feta, and constantly salt-crusted from swimming in the deep blue Aegean. But it was a starlit performance at the 3rd-century BC Theatre of Epidavros that sealed my love of the country. Watching the ancient Greek drama unfold before me as I sat on stone seats worn smooth by thousands of years of use, I felt caught in a moment that seemed to sidestep time. I love Greece because magical moments like that one aren’t so hard to find here."
- Korina Miller, Lonely Planet travel writer

TRAVELING TO GREECE

From the ridiculously turquoise waters of Santorini to the ancient ruins of Athens, Greece is a travel destination that is both truly breathtaking and pretty affordable. No kidding... the beaches are beautiful, and the food is amazing.  Whether you are seeking ancient history for archeological exploration or simply hoping for some fun-filled adventures. Greece delivers.  Here are our recommendations on the best travel guides and travel books for a trip to Greece.

A5 RECOMMENDATIONS

Lonely Planet: Greece

Greece is a superb travel destination, but there is a lot to see and do and it can take a while to travel from one place to another.  Careful planning will make a big difference, even with hotels and restaurants.  We recommend first starting with the Lonely Planet guidebook, known both for their well-researched breadth of information and local insights.

DK Eyewitness Travel: The Greek Islands

We love the DK Eyewitness Travel series but typically recommend these books for travel to big cities with landmarks and museums.  We are very impressed though with their travel guide for the Greek Islands.  There is a ton of helpful content on the nuances of each island, beautiful photos, custom maps, and solid information on how to make the most of any trip.  These guides also make a nice souvenir.

Best Kept Secrets of the Greek Islands

Every coffee table should have a book with beautiful photos of Greece, and one of the best is The Best Kept Secrets of the Greek Islands, by Diana Farr Lewis.  This hard-cover book encompasses all six of the island groups in Greece, highlighting amazing landscapes, beautiful villages, and of course the rich blue ocean.  This is a nice gift and a nice souvenir for those lucky enough to have been to this lovely region of the world.

It's All Greek To Me, by John Mole

It’s All Greek to Me is a humorous story by John Mole, his dream of an idyllic life in a beautiful town in Greece, and the reality of his true experience.  His family was less than thrilled with the ruin of a home they purchased in a near deserted village, with no water or electricity, and their adventures don’t end after they move in.  It is a predictable but nice story that shares the warmth and generosity of the Greek people and the “simple” life.
