Review
"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. Except on the beach, where people presumably had it stowed away, we were sure to spot someone carrying it wherever we went. 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)"
Product Description
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.

Landscapes Samos,
By John Edale (East Anglia, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samos (Landscapes) 5th edition (Paperback)
My wife and I have used the Sunflower Landscapes books on our overseas walking holidays for many years and have great faith in them. On this September holiday we stayed in Samos Town and used the Landscapes book for several walks.
The weather was still hot so the longest walk we did was by bus to Kokkari, walk via Vourliotes and Manolates and back down to the coast for a bus home (the stop was conveniently situated by a bar). This was pretty straightforward and we liked Kokkari so much that we visited it another day for a long lunch. For a shorter walk we took the bus to the beach at Psili Ammos, had a swim and walked back to Samos Town. There is flamingo lake near Psili Ammos. Alas, it was totally dried up after a hot summer. As committed users of local buses we always try to get an up to date timetable on arrival at the resort. If there is only one return bus we have learned to build in some time for unexpected delays and to allow for the bus leaving early! The buses on Samos were fine in our experience. The Landscapes Samos guide book is well up to the usual Sunflower standard, with a good variety of walks and tours plus plenty of other information about the island.

Sunflower's update frequency seems to be getting better and better, because this book was just about perfect when I used it (2008). I have had some issues with older editions when updates came slower... This time one particular forest fire had made one path go into disuse, and was totally overgrown where not burned... So maybe there is time for another update? I see this edition has now gone out of print so I guess one is imminent. But if you can still find the book anywhere (or buy the PDF-version), I can still warmly recommend it. All walks that I did were problem free using this as my guide, except that overgrown one.
