Does this should count towards my goodreads goal? I’m gonna say yes, because I read it thoroughly 3 times already.
The guide is good with a lot of informations on top 10 of… It mostly focuses on Ionians, Cyclades and Dodecaneses islands. There are a lot of illustrations and a ton of maps (even a pull out plastic one which is really helpful)!
I interlibrary loaned this title to try to help me decide which island to visit. It has me a bit scared about visiting the islands in the off-season. We'll see if restaurants are closed. I'm always weary of Top Ten lists--how can things be ranked when some people like beaches and others like historical sites?
