There are travelers who can no longer imagine life without an iPhone – and even if you’re not part of the Cult of Mac, you can probably appreciate how much easier it is to pack a bunch of apps onto one small device rather than carry around all the books and maps those apps are replacing. The iPhone as a travel tool is a boon to not only gadget-lovers but also anyone who’s always trying to pack lighter.

In other words, there are several reasons to be excited about these iPhone apps for Greece travel.

Many of the apps listed below are great travel resources – there are maps, destination guides, history lessons, and talking phrasebooks – but some of them are just plain fun. And since there are new apps being added to the iTunes app store every day, it’s also impossible to have them all listed here. If your favorite Greece travel iPhone app isn’t listed here, be sure to let me know in the comments below.

The good news is that this app has general travel information for Greece, including several popular cities, and it’s available offline. The bad news is that all the information is pulled from the crowd-sourced WikiTravel, so it shouldn’t be taken as travel gospel by any stretch.

High Definition Greece Atlas – HD Deluxe
