Slim, stylish and pocketable, Athens Directions has hundreds of specially commissioned photographs. A full-colour introductory Ideas section includes 28 themed spreads from Roman Athens and Hills and Views to Island Escapes and Ouzeris and Bars - with each caption cross-referenced to its location later in the guide. Flip to the practical Places section - split into 12 chapters - and explore the city, district by district, with every sight, restaurant, bar and shop located on user-friendly maps. The handy Basics section covers everything from arrival and city transport to listings of festivals and theatre venues, while the language section has a useful menu reader and handy phrases to have you speaking a little Greek by the time you arrive.
