 Rating:  - The Ultimate Companion for Visiting CreteThis is the official textbook for the 3-year degree course on Crete and ultimate reference work!

Rating: - Indispensible for the islandWe used this guide at the exclusion of several other guides on Greece/Crete. We found it indispensible. Not only for the cities, beaches, towns, foods, and general area, but for a piece by piece exhibit guide for the Museum (they don't give you any informational handouts at the Museum in Iraklion), but for the MANY ruins, monasteries and historical sites throughout Crete. This was the single best guide we had for Crete. Highly recommended. Rating: - Blue Guide Crete, 7th ed.This guide gives the information you need to know about traveling in Crete: history, current information, food and lodging. |
