You'll discover the secrets behind some of the archaeological treasures of one of the world's oldest cities, not to mention the city's trendiest nightspots, as well as secluded beaches and island towns not far from the mainland. Among the special features of "NG Traveler: Athens & the Islands" are sidebars detailing experiences throughout Greece to ensure that you get to know the culture and the people, inside and out. You can shop like a local in one of Athens' neighbourhood markets, attend Greek cooking classes in Ikaria, or visit an eco-village at Milia. Insider tips provided by an array of NG experts - photographers, writers, and grantees who have spent significant time in Greece - direct you to favourite restaurants or festivals and provide useful information that only locals know. Guided walks and drives include a stroll through Rhodes' Old Town, a holy pilgrimage on the trail of St. John in Patmos, and an exploration of ancient Athens that includes the Promenade and Plaka. An extensive Travelwise section at the back of the guide provides hand-picked hotels and restaurants, tour recommendations, and a glossary that covers must-know words.
