Synopsis

The authors of Cadogan's guide to Greece share their great knowledge and infectious enthusiasm for this majestic and popular region, creating an intoxicating mix of historical analysis, cultural insight, myth, and legend. The area is, of course, most famous for its wealth of ancient Greek and Byzantine ruins; places and sites with names that ring powerfully down the centuries--Delphi, Corinth, Mycenae, Olympia, Argos, and Epidaurus. Discover the places where the mythology of Zeus, Apollo, and Aphrodite was born, all brought vividly to life by inspired commentary from Cadogan's passionate authors. Explore the vibrant capital Athens as it prepares for the 2004 Olympic Games. Discover unspoiled beaches away from the tourist trail and sample the delicious local cuisine and a glass of ouzo in friendly, traditional tavernas. Complete with practical travel information, detailed site plans of the wondrous ruins and recommendations for places to stay, shop, and eat, this is the ultimate guide to the many treasures that Greece has to offer.
