Greece on two separate indexed road maps at 1:425,000 from Road Editions, nesting together attached to one map cover. Dividing the country north/south, both maps include Athens, the starting point of most journeys.

Finely graded altitude colouring with spot heights and names of mountain ranges provides an excellent picture of the country’s topography. National parks are highlighted. Road network indicates unsurfaced roads of good quality, highlights scenic routes and shows rest areas and driving distances on main roads. Railways and local airports are also shown, but no ferry connections are marked beyond indicating the departure points on the mainland. Symbols highlight locations of archaeological sites, castles and monasteries, caves and ski resorts. The maps also show the country’s administrative division into prefectures.

All place names are given in both Greek and Latin alphabets and listed separately in a double index on the reverse of each map. No geographical coordinates are provided. Multilingual map legend includes English.

The set covers the whole of the country, including the islands of the eastern Aegean, at an exceptional scale of 1:425,000 for such a large area and, with Athens included on both maps and a large number of small villages, is excellent for route planning, whether in the mountains of the mainland, across the Peloponnese, or island hopping. But each map is very large, 153 x 99cm.
