Greece and the Ægean Islands

A practical traveler's handbook combining route directions, lodging and transport advice with descriptive accounts of ancient and modern sites across mainland Greece and the Aegean islands. It moves from Crete and the approach to Greece through Athens—both contemporary city and classical monuments—then inland archaeological sites such as Delphi, Mycenae, Olympia and Arcadia, and a series of island sketches including Delos, Samos, Cos, Rhodes, Thera, Paros and Corfu. The text balances firsthand observation, summaries of recent excavations, and tips for visitors, illustrated throughout and organized as sequential chapters for those planning or recalling journeys in Greece.
