Great guide - By: C. Richardt, 06 Jul 2008 
The guide starts with an excellent section on the basics of travelling to Crete: How to get there from the UK, Ireland, North America, Australia & New Zealand; visa issues; tourist information; insurance & health; money; transport; accommodation; eating & drinking.
The main part of the guide is divided by geography into 4 parts: Iráklion, Lasíthi, Réthymnon & Haniá. Each of the sections provides details of how to get there & around, & where to stay, shop, eat & drink. The main sights are covered in detailed multi-page descriptions. However, the provided maps are fairly poor as they are slightly too abstract & smalll, & only show the names of very few roads which makes it hard to find your way around.
The final section gives some useful context about Crete. Crete's history is summarised on 17 pages, & even more concise with a two-page chronology. The section goes on to describe the discovery of bronze age Crete, Crete in myth & Crete's wildlife.
Overalll, a very good & comprehensive guide, even though I got a few times due to the poor maps.
Excellent Guide - By: A. MacColl, 15 Jul 2004 
A fantastic, detailed guide to the beautiful Island Crete.
A definite buy.
Covers all the topics you need to survive and have fun. - By: , 31 Aug 1999 This is an excellent book, lots of useful practical information & full of alll the stuff you need to know when arriving in a strange new country i.e. where to stay, eat, etc. And the 'fun stuff' is covered as well i.e. the best places to eat & party in Crete
(I'm a bit biased on this point since the book mentioned a club that I went to & met this fabuluous girl...but that's another story! ;0) )
Very descriptive and helpful - By: , 18 Aug 1999 This book was great, without it I would have been totallly lost in Crete, especiallly when it came to finding work it led me to the right tourist information centre - I would recommend it to everyone who is thinking of travelling to Crete
