  Whether travelers are planning their city break in advance or want instant guidance exploring, Cadogan City Guides are the ideal companions. They provide a truly accessible way into the heart of a city, with a unique introductory full-color section packed with ideas for days out and itineraries and extensive, cross-referenced maps with all listings clearly marked (the fullest listings of any city guide available). They also include a wealth of engaging cultural and historical knowledge, along with anecdotes and colorful stories written in the enthusiastic, informed, personal way for which Cadogan is renowned.Now in its 8th edition, Greek Islands was the very first Cadogan guide and it remains the best seller on both sides of the Atlantic. The author Dana Facaros, who is half-Greek, has over two decades of Greek travel experience to share -- complemented by new maps, fresh color pictures and the very latest listings of restaurants, bars, and places to stay. Packed with information on each of the seven major island groups, the guide celebrates the diversity of the islands -- ranging from the cocktail bars and glamorous beaches of Mykonos to the quiet Medieval monasteries of Patmos. The history and culture of the islands are, of course, given the usual wry and informed Cadogan treatment.
