Pocket-sized full-colour guide describing car tours, walks and countryside picnics. Large-scale topographical walking maps (scale 1:50,000), fold-out touring map. Timetables for local transport. Unique free on-line update service with specific route change information. Series (50 destinations) dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times.
8 car tours, 41 main walks plus many alterntive and shorter variations, 27 picnic suggestions Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean and long a Mecca for culture freaks. The island also rewards the countryside lover with magnificent landscapes. Peter Amann knows the island intimately; he leads walking groups and works for the preservation of its national monuments. As an alternative to the stress of simply 'doing' all the sites, he invites you to savour the landscape at leisure. Thus there is enough material in this book for several holidays. The eight car tours (mostly circular and covering 2000km in all) follow little-used roads wherever possible and, while taking in all the major sights and sites, also visit landscapes well off the beaten track. Hints are given for places to stay en route.The walks - a distillation of the best on the island - are as varied in length and grade as the landscape itself; there are routes to suit all ages and abilities. Most of the walks are along old farming tracks, stone-laid mule trails and shepherds' paths.
