Title: Love Lonely Planet, but...
Review: While usually a great fan of Lonely Planet guides, I found other Greek Islands guides to top this one. I found The Rough Guide to contain more (and better) information and detail on a greater number of villages. Some island villages which looked interesting to me would not be even mentioned in the Lonely Planet guide, yet would be in The Rough Guide. As well, I found the Cadogan (Dana Facaros) Greek Islands guide, while not completely written for the backpacker to be more helpful, with all of the basic information needed, fantastic writing and a satisfactory Athens chapter. I hope they improve the Lonely Planet Greek Islands guide as they're a wonderful outfit, but I'd pass on this one.
