Published 25 June 1992

Cover of Crete

Crete

by John Fisher, Geoff Garvey, and Mick Rebane

Published 30 July 1992
Greece's largest and most visited island -- now in a new edition

The popularity of Crete continues to grow with its virtually year-round balmy climate. We review the best of the beaches, bring the Minoan and ancient sites to life, and steer visitors on treks through the famed Samarian gorge -- and to other routes much less explored. All the practicalities are covered in full, with detailed information on getting around and on the best places to stay, eat, and drink. No guidebook series covers Greece and its islands like the Rough Guides -- that's why The Times of London called our Crete book, "excellent and characterfully written".
