Rezension zu „Ancient Athens on Five Drachmas a Day “
"Der Tag ist vermutlich gar nicht fern, an dem man nicht nach Mallorca oder auf die Malediven fährt, sondern Urlaub, all inclusive natürlich, im alten Rom oder im klassischen Athen macht [...] Deshalb kann es auch gar nicht schaden den passenden Reiseführer bereitzulegen." Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, 28.09.08 "Nach seinem Stadtführer über Rom legt Philip Matyszak einen Folgeband über das antike Athen vor. [...] Eine gelungene Mischung aus historischer Wissenschaftlichkeit und Publikumsnähe." Münchner Merkur, 01.09.2008 "Ein amüsanter Reiseführer in die Antike von Philip Matyszak" Eurocity, 06.10.2008
