Editorial Review:

An extensive tour of Greece is documented in this hour-long program hosted by travel journalist Rick Steves. Looking at more than just the tourist hotspots, Steves visits some out-of-the-way villages in addition to a tour through the insane bustle of modern Athens. Stepping back across many centuries, a hike up the Acropolis is the venue for some striking photography of the ruins, and more visual treats are offered by a trip to the National Museum in Athens, which features halls filled with statues from various periods of Greek history. Other highlights include a visit to an ancient amphitheater, and practical tips ranging from what to order in restaurants to some pointers on how to avoid getting ripped off by taxi drivers in Athens. A ferry ride across the Aegean caps the tour, with visits to the astoundingly scenic Greek Isles providing a delight for the eyes. This is a relaxed and informative tape that will provide anyone contemplating a trip to Greece with practical pointers, and the scenery is dramatic enough to inspire some viewers to make the trip. --Robert J. McNamara

I feel more confident about visiting Greece after this:

A month from now I shall be roaming about Greece so I have been preparing myself for the journey by consuming various tour videos.

The Greek islands being visited are... more info

Historical Background and Intellectual Enjoyment:

While watching Rick Steves' travel series you can't help but be impressed by his intellectual enjoyment of the areas he visits. Not only does he take you to places you might not see "even" on a tour, he fills in those tantalizing bits of information you might only find if you did some extensive research or had an appreciation for fine art and history.
If you are at all thinking of visiting Greece, you should see this video. There are many travel tips you might miss unless you read one of Rick's books.... more info

Greece Rocks:
