Fairly disappointing

In general, while I find that Lonely Planet produces far and away the best country guides, their city-, region-, and continent guides have a tendency to be surprisingly light on actual information. (One would expect city guides to have, say, _more_ information, but sadly no.) The same is true for LP Greek Islands, which uses the same stock descriptions to talk about virtually every island, really giving very little sense of how the flavor and atmosphere is different in the different places, and with very few photos to give you a sense of what each island looks like. Ferry information is minimal but sufficient, but if you're looking for information on alternative lifestyles, look elsewhere. Even the section on Mykonos, a famous gay retreat, barely acknowledges it as such!

Whether it's the hedonistic nightlife of Mykonos and Ios, the dramatic caldera of Santorini or cricket in Corfu, there is an island for every style and season. With world-class beaches, a tradition of warm hospitality, great food and a fascinating history, the lure of Greece's stunning archipelagos has never been stronger. Take the guesswork out of finding your perfect island paradise with this best-selling guide.
