take a look at the 2nd edition, Birds of Europe (2009, Mullarney & Zetterstrom). It is in the new Princeton Field Guide Series. It covers a larger area than what you are looking for, but I like this new series they are putting out.....

Don't miss the migration across the Bosporus north of Istanbul. It's incredible.

We're going on a cruise out of Greece this fall with stops in Athens, Crete, Greek Islands, Rhodes, Turkish Coast, Istanbul. Any book recommendations for a relatively new birder who has never been to that area before? Probably needs to be in English.
(I searched Amazon and the Net for the "Compete Compact Field Guide to Birds of the Eastern Mediterranean" unfortunately it hasn't made it to the publishers yet.)
