Is this guide good for island hopping?

Yes. It is organized by color-coded chapters across the island group, with itineraries and maps that help you link islands. It covers the must-sees broadly rather than in deep single-island detail.

How does it differ from Top 10 Greek Islands?

This is the full-size guide, with more islands, more maps and walks, and illustrated breakdowns of sights. Top 10 Greek Islands is the pocket format for a short trip focused on highlights.

Does it include maps and walking routes?

Yes. It has detailed maps and walks intended to make navigating the region easier, plus itineraries you can follow day by day.

Is it heavy to carry?

It is described as a lightweight format meant to travel with you. It is larger than a pocket guide, so it fits better in a daypack than a jacket pocket.

Does it cover food and places to stay?

Yes. It lists the best spots to eat, drink, shop and stay alongside the sightseeing chapters.

It is an updated edition with expert-led insights and trusted travel advice. Practical details such as opening times can still change, so confirm locally.
