The only reason I am not giving this book 5 stars (typically I LOVE Eyewitness travel books) is because I wish there would have been more details about the most popular islands (Mykonos, Crete, Santorini).
Thank you for your feedback.

I was a little disappointed with this guidebook. The information contained within seemed to be geared more towards checking off the boxes for covering each and every island, with little actual substance for the majority of islands. We visited two islands: Rhodes and Santorini.
The guidebook contained far and away more information for Rhodes than for any other island, which was nice; unfortunately, that dearth of information came at a price of mere snippets for several other locations, including Santorini.
Only one page covering the entire island of Santorini, one of the most touted destinations in the Greek Islands. Granted, Santorini isn't huge, but come on, DK Eyewitness, surely your intended audience has at least considered visiting one of the most romantic destinations on the planet. Shouldn't you give us a bit more to go on than just one page?
We ended up using internet searches to get real suggestions about what to do and where to stay on Santorini instead of using this guidebook, and left the book itself in the common area of our hotel. Hopefully someone else (who can't get on the internet) will get more out of this guide than than we did.

This book was perfect for my trip to the Greek Islands. It is well organized and picks up the highlights very well. It touches on Athens where we spent two days. I definitely used it a lot as it is compact to carry with good maps. As we were on a tour, I did not use the restaurant or hotel recommendations but relied on it when I was taking pictures. It is a good guide book.

Most helpful with maps, pictures and highlights! Print is a little small but this book is informative with main sites to see. We have other Eyewitness travel books and I highly recommend them!

The DK Eyewitness is like a mini encyclopedia. Very good, concise descriptions of the most important things. The pictures are really high quality. They are well organized.
