1. Actually I'm reviewing 2003, which was delivered to me in March this year.Amazon only lists 2002 and 2004. (The Greekislandhopping WEB site keeps you updated anyway). It's better than ever. As before, it's not a book you need if you're on a cruise that goes to Mykonos, Santorini and Rhodes, although even then you might enjoy reading it for its wit and delightful illustrations. It tells you all about the boats themselves, as well as where they go. I hate to sit inside without a view. I like to buy a first class ticket on one of the big slow car ferries, especially slightly off season, where I can stroll on the sun deck drinking a glass of wine and watching the islands glide past.
   This even covers Istanbul, which is where I went this year, more cultural, less hedonistic. The only thing Poffley might have added is that Eminonu is a busy commuter area, crowded with people during peak hours. The regular ferries are also crowded with commuters at times. The Lonely Planet Istanbul explains the deals about Bosphorus cruises (shorter is more expensive but longer is is rather too long).

1 comments about The Fun Seeker's Athens: The Ultimate Guide to One of the World's Hottest Cities (Night + Day Athens).

1. "This tiny candlelit dining room has no menu - instead, choose from raw ingredients brought directly to your table then cooked to order. Offerings change daily, but the heavenly results - succulent lobster with spicy Parmesan sauce, Chinese noodles with smoked fish in a saffron-mastic infusion - have made it a perennial favorite. Service is impeccably personal and the check arrives in an antique music box."
   
   Of all the guides I've seen for Athens, this one has some very unique and cozy recommendations for restaurants. If you are going to Athens as much for the food as the architecture, this guide will gives you "the draw," "the scene," and a "hot tip" for each restaurant. Reading through the downtown attractions, you feel you are truly there because the descriptions are so detailed.
   
   The main sections include information on art spaces, beaches, seasonal highlights, cafes, candlelit bars, classic dining, hotels, places by the sea, clubs, rooms with views, shows under the stars and tables with a view. Four sections about the Athens Experience presents opportunity for either a Classic Athens tour, Hot-and-Cool Itinerary, Downtown Athens visit, By-the-Water Athens escape.
   
   Delphi, Napflion, Olympia, Thessaloniki and the Wineries of Attica are also featured. The Ilands: Hydra, Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini and Skiathos are briefly discussed and given a few pages each.
   
   This book contains some of the best food/travel writing I've seen in a long time. The Fun Seeker's Athens is worth buying for the writing style and cozy suggestions! Reading this guide will make you wonder why you are still at home! They make Athens sound like the place to be, so romantic.
