Sunflower Landscapes of Corfu
by Noel Rochford

From the Sunflower Landscapes Guides series.

Produced in Europe, this handy pocket-size book offers a unique combination of walks and driving tours for the vacationer. Dozens of great walks for all ages and abilities are profiled and come with highly detailed full-color walking maps. The driving tours have been carefully planned so that you can take in in the best of the region. Wildlife you may see en route and historic sites are pointed out. Large color fold-out maps and color photos show what you will see on every walk and tour. The book also offers timetables for buses, trains and ferries as well as information on the local foods and customs.

For centuries Corfu's magnetic beauty has attracted travellers,who have sung the praises of the peacock-hued bays, the hillsides drenched in silvery-green olive trees, and the emerald greenness of the countryside. And when you leave Corfu, these will be your impressions too. While time brings change, the pristine Corfu so beloved of Lear and the Durrell brothers can still be found - this book tells you where. It turns the island inside-out and helps you find a Corfu unknown to most tourists.

The book focuses on walking, but it is not intended only for walkers. The car touring section will show you the best of the island, and the picnic suggestions make an excellent introduction to the countryside.

There are walks for all ages and abilities on this island, from strolls to beaches to challenging day-long hikes - in the mountains or criss-crossing the plains.
