Go to the Aegean Islands
 From the Sunflower Landscapes Guides series. The very mention of a Greek island is enough to conjure up visions of azure blue seas, wave-lapped golden beaches and white-washed houses, all languorously bathed in endless sunshine. If these are your dreams, then you will find this face of Samos so enchanting that you may not even think of looking further. But beyond the beaches lies a verdant island with landscapes of unimagined beauty quietly awaiting discovery. Samos is without a doubt one of the most perfect Greek islands for walking and botanising, and ever since its publication, this book has been the walkers' 'bible'. Now this new edition brings the book up to date in reflecting recent changes. Best times to walk: April, May, June, September and October. Where to Stay: the authors based themselves in Samos town when writing the book and this makes an ideal centre but Kokkari, Pythagorion or even Karlovassi are also practicable for those relying on local buses. 4 car tours, 70 long and short walks, 25 picnic suggestions Plans of Samos Town, Karlovassi 136 pages + touring map "Walking through woodlands, scrambling along stony hillsides, or simply sitting at a kaffeneion table in a mountain village, there was no escaping the Little Blue Book, Landscapes of Samos. ..The information it yielded was almost invariably useful, and we began to think of Brian and Eileen Anderson as our leaders. Although primarily aimed at serious keen walkers, it also outlined itineraries for sightseers, [providing] an excellent overview of the island's extraordinary variety." --Sunday Telegraph Paperback 136 pages - 4" x 8 1/4" - 5th edition (2/06)Regularly: $15.99 Now: $12.79 Save $3.20 (20%)
