The Rough Guide to Crete by Geoff Garvey
The Rough Guide to Crete is the biggest, most detailed and most comprehensive guide to Crete available. Established leader in its field, now in its sixth edition. Knowledgeable yet accessible coverage of the famous sites, with historical background on the island's Minoan past, including recent discoveries. It also illustrates Crete's place in ancient Greek myth. The guide includes the lesser-known beaches and stretches of coastline and gives unrivalled detail on the mountains - including walking routes and unspoilt mountain villages. Sound coverage on wildlife and the environment, on Crete in literature, and on the island's traditional music. It also includes all the practical information Rough Guides are so highly regarded for - full details of how to get there, how to get around - including local buses and boats - where to stay, and what to eat.
John Fisher was one of the authors of the first ever Rough Guide - to Greece - in 1981, and has been inextricably linked with the series, and with Crete ever since. Geoff Garvey first visited Crete as a student of ancient history and developed a great affection for the island and its people. He is also the co-author of the Rough Guide to Andalucia.
