More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"Over the years, we have thoroughly enjoyed discovering new walks and exploring new parts of the island. Now we are ready to share them with you. Follow our footsteps into villages still steeped in an old way of life and into a countryside as beautiful as any in the Mediterranean. The car tours, too, show off the very best the island has to offer and will take you to some secret places we have shared with no one else - until now." - Brian and Eileen Anderson (the authors)"
Product Description
Cloaked with forests of chestnut and oak, the hills and mountains are riddled with little known ancient trails and cobbled donkey paths, many of which form the walks featured in this new guidebook. With the publication of "Landscapes of Lesvos", the island is set to become an exciting new walking destination in the Mediterranean. Greece has been a major tourist destination for many years, but somehow Lesvos found itself in the slow stream of development. Back in the mid 1980s, one could understand how this came about. Lesvos is an extremely large island, the third largest in Greece, and considerably under-populated. The infrastructure, especially the road system, was especially poor, and journeys by road took ages. How that has changed? Refreshingly free of high-rise hotels and beach-orientated tourism, Lesvos is seizing an opportunity to rediscover itself through ecotourism in its totally unspoilt countryside. Fascinating sites, often unprotected, allow you to do your own interpretation.

Lesbos drives & walks,
By
This review is from: Lesvos Landscapes: Car Tours and Walks (Landscapes) (Paperback)
The drives and walks in the guide are very detailed and full of interesting and useful information regarding the landscape, buildings, where to stop for picnics and good swimming spots. Even without a car you will be able to get to Mytilene, the capital, by bus and do the Mytilene town walk and some of the museums. We did car tours 2 and 4 and enjoyed them both immensely. Skala Simanimias was particularly charming.
The walks using 'kalderimi' (old donkey paths) are especially atmospheric. AS usual the guide is very reliable.

Sunflower guide to Lesvos,
By
This review is from: Lesvos Landscapes: Car Tours and Walks (Landscapes) (Paperback)
An excellent guide - this was the first of the Sunflower guides I bought (I have since bought several more) and it really made a difference to my holiday in Lesvos. My husband and I did not hire a car on this trip, so we only used the walks but they were fabulous walks, taking in the whole variety of Lesvos scenery, off the beaten track but not difficult to get to, very well described in terms of geographical features along the way (so you don't get lost), fitness level required and duration of walk. I now buy Sunflower guides for every holiday.

Great guide to Levos,
By
This review is from: Lesvos Landscapes: Car Tours and Walks (Landscapes) (Paperback)
This is a onestop point of interest book. It has given me a lot of ideas and helped me plan for my trip there. This will be my first visit to the Island and I am hireing a car and I enjoy walking so I will be off as soon as I have landed.
