De Cicerone wandelgids en/of fietsgids heeft een handzaam formaat en de informatie in de gids is steeds bijzonder compleet. De tochten zijn geordend per streek, met diverse uitstapjes in de locale historie.

Start/eindpunt, afstand en hoogteverschillen zijn prima aangegeven. Verder kleur kopieën van de topografische kaarten 1:50.000 met de wandelroutes ingetekend. Zijn wat minder dan bij de meeste Duitse gidsen maar gecombineerd met een goede topografische kaart is dit geen probleem.

Daarnaast is er algemene informatie, een handig lijst van adressen en telefoonnummers van medische voorzieningen, openbaar vervoer, toeristische informatie, etc.

- Most of Greece is mountains – beautiful, rugged, undeveloped, remote and yet accessible. Alpine pastures soften the harshness of the crags, forests fill the ravines and springs and rivers abound and many are over 2000m in altitude. They are hillwalkers’ rather than climbers’ mountains, but you do need to be in good physical shape to explore them. Routes – though not technical – are physically demanding because of the variations in altitude, the distances involved and the absence both of organised facilities for the walker and of the restorative creature comforts.

The routes described in this guidebook are arranged in three groups: the Píndhos Range, Athens and the East Coast, and the Peloponnese. The Píndhos Range accounts for the vast majority of them. They can be put together to form continuous multi-day hikes – including going the whole hog from Delphi to Albania – or treated as straightforward ascent of a single peak. Similarly, the routes described under the other two groups can be used as day walks or as building blocks for something longer. This guidebook contains 23 route descriptions for the Píndhos Range, 7 for the Athens region and 11 for the Peloponnese area.
