Sunflower Walking & Touring Guide
3 total works
Pocket-sized full-colour guide describing car tours and picnic places throughout the Algarve. But the major part of the book is devoted to walks for all ages and abilities, all illustrated with 1:50,000 topographical walking maps (which also show the route of the Algarve Way - a long-distance trail running from the border with Spain to the west coast). There is a fold-out touring map for motorists, which also locates the various walking areas and the entire Algarve Way. Timetables are given for local transport. The Algarve is a wonderful walking destination almost all year round, with its magnificent coastal scenery and lesser-known uplands. The book was thoroughly revised just prior to publication of this edition. The 'Landscapes' series, with 50 destinations, has been dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times; Sunflower has been named a Which? Recommended Provider of Guidebooks.
Turkish Coast

Published 9 March 2007
Combines the best features of a Sunflower walking guide with all the detail you would expect in a hefty general guide. A Turkish poet once described the area between Bodrum and Marmaris as 'terrifyingly' beautiful. Silver-leaved olive groves and wild inland mountains yield up the remains of ancient civilisations. The dazzling multi-coloured bays, framed by fissured cliffs and collared with golden sand, are the stuff of dreams. Snuggled into the coves are romantic fishing villages, where you will be greeted with genuine Turkish hospitality. In some old mountain villages and along isolated sections of the coast there are more and more small quiet places to stay. All the authors have been visiting Turkey for many years, writing general and walking guides. They guide you through the most beautiful landscapes of the region. Coverage: Getting there and getting about. Recommended accommodation and restaurants (with prices). Practicalities A-Z - History 15-20 main walks with many variations, all with large-scale topo maps. Fold-out area maps. Detailed town plans showing locations of all sights, hotels and restaurants. Plans of ancient sites. Many 'feature' panels
Lesvos - one of the larger Greek islands off the west coast of Turkey is becoming increasingly popular with walkers, botanists and bird-watchers. This guide includes: topographical walking maps; a fold-out touring map; many short walks and picnic suggestions - suitable for hot summer days and for those with young children; and a unique update service with specific route-change information, free on-line.
