Todays treat, Paxos and Antipaxos: From the publisher: “Hiking is the best way to get to know the landscapes on Paxoi. The scale of the landscape and the details that comprise it demand a tranquil approach. Most paths are on modest inclines, are clearly marked out among the dry wall masonry, and some of them … Continue reading »

Rhodes: From the publisher: “Rich in natural and cultural heritage, Rhodes reveals all its wealth in this new map of Anavasi. From the medieval city in the north to the exotic Prasonisi island in the southern tip, one can find ancient cities, castles of the Knights, early christian basilicas, elegant italian buildings of the 30s, … Continue reading »

Next is Spetses: Quoting from the publisher: “A collective work of the locals and Anavasi cartographers. The map is very detailed and accurate.

Another take on walking on La Palma. Lance Chilton is one of my favorite writers, so check it out.

This is an update to “Shirley Whitehead’s Madeira Walks”. The 2nd edition contains no less than 40 walks in addition to those covered in the “Walk! Maderia” book by the same author.

This book concludes the series of single island editions that replaces the former “Walking in the Canaries Volume 1” from Cicerone. I would expect volume 2 is up for replacement next.

Do I even need to mention Tenerife? This is the classic destination in the Canaries for a walking holiday. And this is another book to support it.

The island of La Palma is a wonderful experience in the Canaries, especially if you want something that is less touristed than average… Cicerone has previously had two volumes covering the entire island group, but now single island editions also exist.
