Greece

by: Korina Miller, Kate Armstrong, Michael Clark, Chris Deliso, Des Hannigan, Victoria Kyriakopoulos
This was the only guide I could find as I planned our trip to Greece that would give me all the specifics I needed to be prepared to travel in Greece. The other guides mostly describe the tourist attractions and throw in a couple hotels and restaurants. If you like to make all your own plans and are on a budget, this is the guide for you. I can add to the accuracy of their details when I get back from our trip.

The Rough Guide to Greek Islands 7

by: Lance Chilton, Marc Dubin, Nick Edwards, Mark Ellingham, John Fisher, Geoff Garvey, Natania Jansz, Rough Guides
Two other books Lonely Planet and Greek Island Hopping are aimed at the budget traveller visiting the smaller islands. This one and Lonely Planet also cover the whole of Crete. Greek Island Hopping has more detail about actual travelling and about the boats themselves and more maps, but only touches on the northern ports of Crete. I like all three. Greek Island Hopping wuuld be most useful if you want to find out how to get to a small island, or how to get off one.
