Truly the guides that show you what others only tell you, this book features stunning 3D and cutaway views of museums, cathedrals, and other must-see sights; detailed street maps; a handy phrase section; advice on the best places to eat, drink, shop, sleep, and be entertained; and a Survival Guide to help the traveler sort out essential information such as currency, transportation, and communications. As world traveler and TV personality Michael Palin says, "the Eyewitness Travel Guides are irresistibly seductive.... They also deliver where it matters most -- uncluttered and accurate information." Beyond its mainland, Greece includes more than 2000 islands, large and small, and DK's Eyewitness Travel Guide: The Greek Islands is the first step to take before visiting these scenic wonders. With more than 750 color photographs, this encyclopedic handbook divides these remarkable islands into seven regional chapters, each chapter focusing on an island's main towns and villages, with 3-D aerial maps directing you to the main sights. Within the Ionic Islands chapter are the many marvels of the green island of Corfu, including the Palace of St. Michael and St. George, the Old Fortress, and the Paper Money Museum, captured in vibrant photos and informative descriptions peppered with insightful historical background. In the Argo-Saronic Islands chapter, the island of Aigina's astonishing Temple of Aphaia -- one of the best preserved Doric temples -- is vividly reconstructed in a two-page layout highlighted by a remarkably detailed illustration and photos of its surviving architectural highpoints. A top destination among the Dodecanse chain (those islands scattered along the coast of Turkey) isRhodes, and its Palace of the Grand Masters and Street of Knights are breathtakingly captured in colorful 3-D illustrations, photographs, and brief historical profiles
