Anavasi VII

Last one, a double whammy, Kefalonia and Ithaca:

9.3 Cephalonia - Ithaca

From the publisher:

“Kefalonia is well-known for its marvelous beaches. However the island has big mountains and large tracts of unspoiled areas that make it an ideal destination for walking and hiking enthusiasts. All the paths depicted on the map have been recorded during the last two years. Some of them have been recently cleared and signpostedi. Ithaca’s intricate terrain offers endless opportunities for hiking and splendid views. The footpaths are regularly maintained and many projects of clearing and way marking of old paths are underway. Several hiking routes are indicated.The map is two-sided with Cephalonia on a scale of 1:65.000 on one side and Ithaca on a scale of 1:25.000 on the other.”

Lefkada (Lefkas):

9.1 Lefkada

From the publisher:

“The fourth in the group of seven large islands of the Ionian Archipelago, Lefkada has lovely beaches and a wealth of natural and cultural attractions in its hinterland. A detailed record of the road network, the footpaths and accurate representation of the land features make this map an invaluable tool for exploring the island.”

Anavasi V

Todays treat, Paxos and Antipaxos:

9.2 Paxoi - Antipaxoi

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 are stonepaved. Wandering among the olive groves with lofty trees, one can find intricate pilasters of some olden geateway, see abandoned olive presses and proud windmills and enjoy the sunset from the edge of limestone cliffs.”

“New hiking map of Tinos on a scale of 1:25.000. Large part of the network of footpaths on TInos has remained intact and in this first edition of the map 225 km of paths have been recorded. Beside the other field data a large number of dovecotes and windmills are shown on the map. On the back side 25 routes are presented in detail and most of them can be combined in nice circular routes.”

New Anavasi Maps

For the next few days I will go through the list of new(ish) Anavasi Topo Islands maps. At least some of the maps should be available through Amazon, I will start putting up “[Buy!!!]” links also. Otherwise you can try Anavasi’s own Shop. First out is Chalki:

10.33 Chalki

Quote from the publisher:

“A tiny island though very rich in monuments and ancient remains. More than 50 byzantine chappels, dozens of rock carved cisterns and old agricultural settlements and a well-preserved medieval caslte with a ruined medieval settlement at its foot. The new detailed map by ANAVASI will be your precious guide to discover all these little known remains, most of them accessible only by footpaths.”

Walking on La Gomera and El Hierro

Walking on La Gomera and El Hierro

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.
