I am sad to report that this guidebook was very disappointing.As soon as it arrived I noticed that it was rather large to go into a small holiday bag (15cm x 23cm) and, moments later, that all the photos are in black and white.The overview of Athens city is not as comprehensive as most guide books - a short paragraph for each of the main attractions with very little detail of what to look for once you're there. There are no maps or index and the page numbers in the contents aren't correct.If you're visiting Athens for a relaxing stay without sightseeing then you might find it helpful - there are 11 pages about Athens' parks, 8 pages describing the beaches in the 'Riviera', 15 pages devoted to restaurants, 12 pages clubs/bars and 39 about Greek food.All in all it didn't meet expectations and certainly wasn't worth the money I paid for it. It's now in the recycling bin.
