Lonely Planet Greece: The Step-By-Step Guide to Designing, Building and Managing a Loft Project

Pour moi, ce livre est un bijou pour quelqu'un qui veut faire un voyage en Grèce. De très bonne info sur tout ce qui est la bas

This helped guide us thru every town and village we came to. Lots of great information! We will get one for every trip we take!!

Been a loyal LP reader for almost 20 years, and bought this guide out of curiosity for the new format. In my very humble view, it's a terrible upgrade (or in fact a major downgrade): the new version has none of the original LP strengths (extensive cultural/historical details, plenty of practical tips, high degree of reader-friendliness), and also doesn't seem to present any strong new feature. Most information that used to be in old-format guides is lost, and so are dedicated sections with restaurant/hotel options - the new format is also somewhat confusing in my opinion, and lacks those (VERY useful, I think) background sections on a country's history, politics etc. I hope this new format was just an experiment - if not, I'll have to switch to a different brand. Too bad!

We had a great Lonely Planey guide for Greece from about 10 years ago. Bought this one to have updated information for a trip this summer. There's a lot less info in the book (which is hidden at first by a lot of visual gimmicks but becomes apparent pretty quickly when using it on a travel) plus it doesnt have the intuitive structure that a Lonely Planey guide normally has. Also, no historic background for cities and sites; no opening hours, websites; no "how to get there". Result: we've basically not used it during this year's visit to Greece. Too bad.

Currently planning a big trip to Greece and the Greek Islands this summer and purchased the new guide for this purpose.Was surprised at the changes (given I have used Lonely Planet guides for over two decades) but I like what they've done. I like what they've done with the accommodation and restaurant reviews as they're now in these cool little boxes on the side or at the bottom of the page. And I really like the detailed overviews of each place - it all feels a lot more opinionated...a lot, um, richer.On that, I'm really impressed by how there's opinion in the writing again - I even found myself having a chuckle at some of the descriptions being used. Lonely Planet had become a bit dry and now there's pep in their step again. We've actually changed a couple of things we're doing on our trip based on the advice in the itineraries.Contrary to some of the reviews on here I disagree and I think these changes are a massive improvement.Highly recommend.
