 Rating:  - Save your money Unfortunately true of one reviewer (Nigel). Nigels comments ring a note of accord. For people wanting to go Greek Island Hopping - take my advice and 'just do it', if you read too much about it - it will spoil the surprises and joy. I found the Islanders to be of great help if you appear to be relaxed and willing to go with the flow. We did it- just took a train from central Europe, ended up on the quayside in Corfu and asked around for accommodation and advice. within an hour we had a terrific place at very reasonable cost, and this was July! forget the books, just go, unless there is some special reason to visit a particular place (archilogical site -of which there are thousands) just stick a pin in the map and put your shoes on.

It is a relentlessly negative travel guide that makes islands of the gods sound like an archipelago of inconveniences, irritation and despair. Whoever Frewin Poffley is, he/she has a chip on his/her shoulder as large as the akropolis and clearly found researching the book a sisyphian task of unremitting woe. Every time you get excited about about moving from one island to the next, Frewin manages to depict a vision of dystopia awaiting your next move that will make you wish for Poseidon's wrath to capsize your puny bark and pull you into the swirling Aegean. I can only imagine the ludicrously upbeat cartoon pictures that litter this book were forcibly inserted by the publishers to disguise ... Read More: |
