Athens in a series of street plans from Rough Guides published on very light waterproof and tear-resistant plastic paper, indexed, with recommendations for shopping, eating, drinking, and venues. The plan is folded to only 9x19cm when detached from its protective cover, and can be easily rolled or folded into smaller size without any damage or creases.

On one side is a plan of central districts of the city at 1:7,900, including the Acropolis and the Filopáppou Hill, Lycabettus, and the National Archaeological Museum. On the reverse the central Plaka and Monastiraki districts are shown in greater detail enlarged to 1:4,650.

The plans show metro and tram routes, with bus line numbers indicated along the streets, car parks and one way streets. Famous buildings, cultural institutions, etc. are highlighted and named. The plans are also annotated with colour-coded markers indicating publishers’ recommendations for shopping, eating, drinking, and venues.

The map is indexed, including a separate index of sights and notable buildings, and has a time chart clearly showing opening times of main institutions, an explanation of public transport system, and hotel recommendations.

Also provided is a street plan of Piraeus including the port area with piers for ferries to the islands, a road map of the Athens conurbation with access to the international airport and a street plan of the Kifissia district.
