More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
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.

Sunflower Landscapes Sicily,
By
This review is from: Landscapes of Sicily (Landscapes) (Paperback)
I purchased this guide having previously used the excellent Sunflower series on walking holidays in Corsica, Picos de Europa and the Azores. The format is excellent: a pocket size book with small maps embedded in each walks' clear description, and a larger pull-out map at the back showing the location of the walk in a larger scale map. The guide also includes useful public transport information showing you how to get to the start. There are walks to suit all levels, from strolls to major day long hikes. Highly recommended.

Planning a Holiday to Sicily,
This review is from: Landscapes of Sicily (Landscapes) (Paperback)
Sunflower's Sicily car tours and walks is a valuable and useful resource for planning an active holiday to Sicily. On holiday I like to see as much as possible touring and walking. This means detailed planning beforehand so that you can get the most out of the short time at a holiday location. To do this successfully you need guide books that provide lots of information, pictures and maps of the area you wish to visit. Sunflower's Sicily has been a very helpful in this regard and increased my excitement to see Sicily.

Sunflower sicily,

This review is from: Landscapes of Sicily (Landscapes) (Paperback)
Another winner ! No holiday would be complete without one of these guides.In fact it has got to the point of seeing what destinations are covered by the various books in the series and planning our next trip accordingly. Very much more than just a walk book, but for this one you really do need access to a car. Sicily is a stunner scenically and not everyone is interested in ruins!
