Greece IG

Greece is a host to eight million visitors a year, and this updated edition has been compiled by a team of writers who provide a thorough view of this European holiday destination. This "Insight Guide" begins by describing the history of this ancient nation, which gave the world democracy, theatre and the Olympic Games. It goes on to provide essays designed to give an insight into Greece, and show what it is like to live scattered around this landscape of mountains and myriad islands. The guide includes up-to-date maps, and tips on travel, excursions, accommodation and restaurants. There are also local maps and name registers.
