Let's Go Greece & Turkey

Just got back from a six week trek and island hop round Greece! I had a wonderful time and couldn't have met my budget and rigorous itinerary without Let's Go's extensive budget hotel and restaurant options. I though the writing style was witty and I knew I could trust the hip nightlife picks for my more debauched nights on the islands!

Let's Go excels in its detailed, sensitive coverage of the Greek isles. I couldn't have made it through without Let's Go's help finding the out-of-the way bargain hotels, connecting from island to island, and figuring out which ancient sites and Byzantine monasteries were worth seeing. Admittedly the Turkey section was a little bit weak, although I loved the Black Sea Coast coverage; the Sinop listings included a few cool bars where I met Turkish college kids, Austrian ski bumbs and American archaeologists. The book could stand to improve its coverage of the neighborhoods of Athens and of Eastern Anatolia, but in terms of budget options and nightlife coverage the other guides don't even compare.
