Greece at 1:300,000 from MairDumont on a double-sided map with special features to aid navigation. The map covers the mainland but without the eastern part of Thrace, plus the Ionian islands and the Sporades, with the Cyclades shown in various insets as either groups or individual islands.

Maps in the MairDumont’s Marco Polo series have a special fold-out flap in the map jacket providing an overview of the whole area and highlighting popular locations, with the grid reference system in the margins making it easier to find places on the main map. A set of seven peel-on/peel-off stickers, removable without damaging the map surface, is provided for making selected locations more prominent when navigating.

The map aims to provide good coverage of the mainland, divided north/south around the town of Lamia and across northern Evia/Euboea. It is not recommended for island hopping across the Aegean where not all the islands are shown in their proper geographical locations: southern Cyclades are on one large inset, but the northern part of the group, e.g. Mykonos or Syros, is on separate individual insets.

Relief shading with numerous spot heights and names of mountain ranges shows the topography. Road network includes selected minor roads and local tracks, and indicates distances on main routes. Scenic routes are highlighted. Railway lines are included, plus numerous ferry routes between the mainland and the islands.

The map highlights numerous places of interest, both cultural sights including archaeological remains and various natural sites, showing national parks and other protected areas. Symbols mark selected campsites and youth hostels, viewpoints, etc. All place names are in both Greek and Latin alphabet, except those of places of interest shown in Latin script only. The map has no geographical coordinates. The index is in a separate booklet attached to the map cover. Map legend includes English.

In addition to numerous insets covering various islands, the map also includes street plans of central Athens and Thessaloniki.
* Please note: the same map is also available from GeoCenter or from Insight Guides, but without the special features to aid navigation and route planning.
