Frommer's Athens and the Greek Islands (Complete Guide)

Planning a vacation to Greece is not a dummy-proof endeavor. Some Greek islands are struggling with overtourism; and Athens is a city that brings out strong feelings, both positive and negative, in travelers. This book cuts through the noise, giving real, unvarnished advice about both the highlights at the country, and what you’ll want to avoid.  Inside, you’ll find smart itineraries, insights about the nation’s historic sights and museums, and recommendations for the types of restaurants, nightlife, and hidden beauty spots that only the locals know about.

We'll start you off with an in-depth overview of Athens and rewarding day trips from there, before setting off to explore the most appealing of Greece's many islands, including the Saronic Gulf Islands, Crete, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, the Northeastern Aegean Islands, the Sporades, and the Ionian Islands.
