Product Description
Product Description
This brand new Berlitz Pocket Guide provides all the information you need to enjoy the up-and-coming tourist hotspot that is the Cape Verdi Islands, in a handy and genuinely pocketable format. Whether you want to find fantastic hiking trails and world class windsurfing spots, or simply immerse yourself in the most spectacular mountain scenery and deserted beach landscapes on offer, this guide captures everything there is to see and do. Colour-coded sections allow you to locate the information you need quickly and full-colour, fold-out maps provide instant orientation wherever you are, making this guide ideal for on-the-spot-reference. The Top 10 attractions are highlighted on a dedicated, double-page spread, capturing everything you simply can't afford to miss and ensuring you make the most of your stay. Explore the waters surrounding Maio for shipwrecks dating back to the 16th century and spot the endangered loggerhead turtles from the island of Boa Vista. Other recommendations include Santiago, the largest island and seat of government, Sao Vicente for the Mindelo carnival in February and Sao Filipe, one of Cape Verde's loveliest towns with cobbled streets and leafy squares on the island of Fogo. A dedicated 'Eating Out' section provides information on local Creole cuisine and the concise 'History' section will help you truly get to the heart of these beautiful islands and their unique heritage, from colonisation to the present day. An invaluable 'Travel Tips' section provides an A-Z summary of practical information, covering accommodation for all budgets, transport, climate, health and much more. It also includes travel information that the brochures fail to mention, for example on enchanting Brava, the smallest inhabited island, visitors are warned that although well worth a visit the lack of an aerodrome presents something of an obstacleA" with the ferry service a choppy one hour crossing in a small boat with an exposed deck and you can expect to be drenched by the end of itA". You will find full-colour photographs accompanying the text throughout, making this guide truly a pleasure to read before, during and after your visit.

Format:Paperback
This guide is nothing like the Lonely Planet - lacks the sense of humor, the searching descriptions. The maps are especially bad and crossreferencing is basically nonexistent throughout the book. The information is OK, although not always up-to-date. However, after tedious internet search this was the best I found. I ordered some others too, but they were not useful at all.

I love Berlitz Guides. This book tells you all you want to know from a history to accommodation and travel and places not to be missed. The small maps are easy to follow. The guide is small enough to fit in your pocket but large enough to give you all the information you need. I now have 176 of these guides and would not buy anything else.
