Good, but not perfect
"Blue Guide Greece" is wide-ranging, but its site descriptions and directions are often very skimpy; it should be supplemented with the excellent "Greece: an Oxford Archaeological Guide", which doesn't attempt to cover as much ground but does go into much more detail on the places it does mention.

Product Description
Many countries promote tourism in an attempt to increase the gross domestic product, increase employment, improve balance of payments, enhance community infrastructure and diversify the economic base. While more information about the relationship between tourism and a country¿s economic development is needed, models assessing tourism economic impact are not readily available, particularly in developing countries.The purpose of this study is to develop a Keynesian-based model to assess the economic impact of tourism on imports, investments, and governmental expenditure in Albania, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Greece. When a country is deciding to embark on tourism development as a policy option, or to expand tourism industry, it must be decided that long term benefits outweigh the estimated costs. The model provides good instrument for tourism policy decision makers by considering leakages from imports, taxes and savings. It especially will be useful to professionals in tourism studies who may be considering utilizing it also to estimate the impact of different types of tourism in countries with limited data sources. ...

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Crete is the largest of the Greek islands and the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea at 8,336 km² (3,219 square miles). Crete is one of the 13 peripheries of Greece and covers the same area as the Greek region of Crete from before the 1987 administrative reform[1] It forms a significant part of the economy and cultural heritage of Greece; while it retains its own local cultural traits (such as its own music and dialect), Cretans identify themselves as Greeks. Heraklion is the largest city and capital of Crete. Crete was the centre of the Minoan civilization (circa 2600?1454 BC), the oldest Greek civilization. The island is the location of significant ancient history, which provides popular modern day tourist destinations. They include the Minoan sites of Knossos and Phaistos, the classical site of Gortys, the Venetian old city and port of Chania, the Venetian castle at Rethymno and the Samaria Gorge. The Nikos Kazantzakis International Airport is located just outside Heraklion. For centuries, Crete was known by its Italian name Candia, from the medieval name of Heraklion, Chandax. In Classical Latin it was called Creta and in Turkish Girit. ... Read more

Product Description
This is the ethnography of the Mykoniots d élection, a gang of romantic adventurers who have been visiting the island of Mykonos for the last thirty-five years and have formed a community of dispersed friends. Their constant return to and insistence on working, acting and creating in a tourist space, offers them an extreme identity, which in turn is aesthetically marked by the transient cultural properties of Mykonos. Drawing semiotically from its ancient counterpart Delos, whose myth of emergence entails a spatial restlessness, contemporary Mykonos also acquires an idiosyncratic fluidity. In mythology Delos, the island of Apollo, was condemned by the gods to be an island in constant movement. Mykonos, as a signifier of a new form of ontological nomadism, semiotically shares such assumptions. The Nomads of Mykonos keep returning to a series of alternative affective groups largely in order to heal a split: between their desire for autonomy, rebellion and aloneness and their need to affectively belong to a collectivity. Mykonos for the Mykoniots d élection is their permanent stopover ; their regular comings and goings discursively project onto Mykonos space an allegorical (discordant) notion of home . ... Read more

Product Description
The experiences which form the basis of Slaying Apophis began in May of 1992 when I separated from my husband. I spent late winter through early spring 1994 traveling the Eurasian continent. Throughout the trip, sixteen students were under the guidance of three Eastern Michigan University professors and two tour managers. Under the rigorous conditions of travel, we got to know each other quite well.

The journey became primarily one of self-discovery. I found myself searching for meaning and direction. In the process, I wrestled with, and at least wounded, several of my demons. My observations were written down as I experienced or remembered them.

As I was preparing for publication what had begun as a private journal, I realized that some observations and class quotes were quasi-universals, philosophical road signs. I have highlighted these throughout the text as aphorisms, and compiled them all at the end of the book. Perhaps this composite picture of an adventure of discovery, and the wisdom gained, will serve others as well as myself.

As the Chinese couplet on the cover proclaims, "may you be blessed with peace and safety wherever you are." ... Read more

Excerpt: Athens is one of the oldest named cities in Europe and the world.It also has been continuously inhabited for over 4000 years, becoming the leading city of Ancient Greece in the first millennium BC; its cultural achievements during the 5th century BC laid the foundations of western civilization. During the Middle Ages, the city experienced decline and then recovery under the Byzantine Empire, and was relatively prosperous during the Crusades, benefiting from Italian trade. After a long period of decline under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, Athens re-emerged in the 19th century as the capital of the independent Greek state. The contest of Athena and Poseidon.
