Rough Guide or Lonely Planet

New to backpacking in Greece?

Guide books

There are loads of guide books to the Greek Islands and you really should take one with you when you visit. The main 2 are from the `Rough Guide` & `Lonely Planet` stables and both deservedly very popular.

Lonely Planet - ISBN 1-74059-050-3 - £11.99

The Lonely Planet tends to be more factual and perhaps a little more comprehensive but we think lacks a little character.

Rough Guide - ISBN 1-85828-867-3 - £11.99

We personally prefer the Rough Guide which makes more of an amusing read even if you don`t plan on visiting a particular island.
