Athens

Meer over het boek

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.
