Greece Travel Secrets:
Travel Tips and Information
for Greece and the Greek Islands

Who better to share Greece's Travel Secrets with you than two award-winning travel writers: Mike Gerrard and Donna Dailey. Between us we've written over 50 guidebooks for publishers including National Geographic, the AA and AAA, Insight Guides, Michelin, Thomas Cook, Moon Handbooks and Dorling Kindersley.

We've also written about Greece for newspapers and magazines worldwide, and have won several awards for our books and our travel writing and photography.

Many of those guidebooks have been about Greece, including:

  • The National Geographic Traveler Guide to Greece
  • Spiral Crete
  • Spiral Corfu
  • Essential Athens
  • Essential Spiral Athens
  • Essential Greek Islands
  • Essential Greek Mainland
  • Essential Greece
  • The Globetrotter Guide to Corfu
  • The Berlitz Guide to Corfu
  • The Berlitz Guide to Crete
  • The Berlitz Guide to Athens
  • The CitySpots Guide to Athens

Mike has also contributed to

  • The Eyewitness Guide to the Greek Islands
  • The Eyewitness Guide to Athens and the Mainland

So if anyone knows about Greece, and can tell you about the best hotels, restaurants, museums, archaeological sights, and best holidays and vacations there, it's us. Between us we've covered almost every inch of the mainland, and most of the Greek islands too. We love Athens, we love retsina, and Mike has even worked as a Greek waiter on the island of Zakynthos. (Please leave bigger tips, he says.)

Feel free to contact us with any of your queries, or suggestions for places we might include as we build our Greece Travel Secrets website.
