1. World Nomad Free Greek Language Application for the iPhone
This application provides you with an audio feature and some essential phases in Greek. Here's a screenshot of the Greek program. One oddity? They add some extra letters to the "standard" transliteration from English to Greek, so the number "one", usually transliterated as "ena", becomes "aena" - a little more confusing than necessary for travelers. Ten, usually "deka" is spelled "thaeca". But if you're listening and following the pronunciations, this shouldn't interfere with your use of the app.2. High Definition Map Atlas for Greece
Cheap (currently 99 cents)and easy application to keep a map of Greece and just Greece handy at all times during your trip. Also provides extra information, including trivia, hotels, and other information to enhance your trip.3. My Vacation

It's a handy way to have your trip in your pocket where you can take advantage of a short bits of free time at a train station, airport, or on a Greek ferry to jot down a few thoughts and make sure your trip is really unforgettable.
4. Santorini and Pelion iPhone Apps
Exploring Santorini, Pelion, and Greece in general may be easier with these new iPhone apps for Greece, all available from the iTunes iPhone app store.
5. Meteo Greek Weather iPhone App
Meteo.gr is an excellent weather website and it now has an app for the iPhone - but recent comments seem to indicate it is crash-prone.
6. Hagia Sophia, Istanbul
This one is a little farther afield - an app which provides a guide to Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, which for over a thousand years was the largest cathedral on earth. While it is now a museum, the Greek Orthodox church still inspires visitors - and since many "Greek Island" cruises also include a stop in Istanbul, I thought it might come in handy for many travelers.
