Rick Steves Greece: Athens & the Peloponnese
I am in love with Rick Steves Guides. The perfect blend of usefull everyday information, history, culture, local cuisine, sightseeing, hotel and restaurant recommendations and a ton of additional free resources, such as his audioguides, which you can download from his website.
