Nice overview of Athens' attractions
We used the "Eating" section and "Directory" most heavily, since we are not shoppers and had arranged a hotel through alternative means. The book has good maps in addition to narrative. We also used the Eyewitness "Top 10" guide and "Streetwise Athens" map, which provide additional perspectives. .

It's out of date.
It hasn't been updated to reflect the fact that the metro now connects to the airport, and its Acropolis ticket info. I guess I should have known that a 2004 guide to Athens is out of date in 2006. is misleading--the Acropolis ticket is good for one visit only, not for four days. The free guide to Athens published by the Ministry of Tourism ("Wonderful Greece") has much better walking tours.
