Synopsis

When Brian de Jongh's two classic Companion Guides, Southern Greece and Mainland Greece, were first published they were greeted with acclaim and immediately established themselves as the essential guides to the country. Now they have been thoroughly revised and updated by John Gandon, Brian de Jongh's nephew, in a manner of which he would have entirely approved, and are available together in this one volume. Brian de Jongh combines here an expert knowledge of history, archaeology and mythology with a profound understanding of the Greek people and a feeling for the landscape that has inspired their myths and monuments. It is, more than ever, the most indispensable of all modern guides to Greece. It is difficult to think of a writer of guides today with whom to compare de Jongh in his far-reaching familiarity with Greece. To our knowledge, this is the best guide to Mainland Greece inEnglish.
