Product Description
Product Description
This new series combines the best features of 'Landscapes' with all the detail you would expect in a hefty general guide, but they are all pocket size and in full colour. All the authors have been visiting Turkey for many years, writing general and walking guides. Dean Livesley was one of the original developers of the famous Lycian Way, Turkey's first long-distance footpath. Besides being intrepid explorers, Brian and Eileen Anderson are botanists and keen cooks! The main part of this book concentrates on the area west of Antalya, known both in antiquity and today as Lycia. Historical descriptions of the wild, fissured Lycian coastal region abound with superlatives. And the landscapes that sent so many writers into raptures have not changed for centuries. Despite all the hymns of praise, Lycia's thinly populated coastal strip long remained untouched by tourism. It was so isolated that for a short time, it even became a place of exile. Today, thanks to the building of Antalya's international airport, millions of visitors happily spend their holidays in the places where unwanted dissidents were once forcibly detained. The whole Lycian Peninsula takes in a very large area and this volume concentrates on the region between Antalya and Demre/Kekova, east of Kas. Coverage includes: getting there and getting about; recommended accommodation, campsites and restaurants (all with prices); practicalities A-Z; history; 15-20 main walks with many variations, all with large-scale topographical maps; fold-out area maps; detailed town plans showing locations of all sights, hotels and restaurants; and many 'feature' panels.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Finest scenery and great Archaeological sites,
This review is from: Turkish Coast: Antalya to Demre (Sunflower Guides Turkish Coast: Antalya to Demre) (Paperback)
This is a practical guide that helps the reader discover the fantastic landscapes around Antalya and Eastern Lycia. We have done the following walks: Walk 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 13, 14. Some of these walks take you to beautiful canyons and major archaeological sites. Walk 6 takes you to the ancient city of Termessos which is located in a setting of indescribable beauty. Also Alara Castle (Walk 4) looks like a fairy-tale castle perched on a hill. Anyway all the walks that we have done, will take you to some of the finest scenery in the Mediterranean. This guide book is definitely a good investment

very useful,

This review is from: Turkish Coast: Antalya to Demre (Sunflower Guides Turkish Coast: Antalya to Demre) (Paperback)
If you decide to discover Lycia on your own, this definitely is the guide to pack. It is full of handy information about food, drinks, bus lines, phone numbers and area codes, opening hours and fares. For the hiker there are those precious hints about what to look for and how to get there. Bonus is a list of useful words in Turkish.

Great book to have,

This review is from: Turkish Coast: Antalya to Demre (Sunflower Guides Turkish Coast: Antalya to Demre) (Paperback)
This was my second Sunflower Guide, I first had the book for Sorrento, Amalfi and Capri and I had to have this book after I decided to go to Antalya. There was quite a difference since this is a complete guide, they had much more information inside about culture, religion... I bought also a guide book of the Lycian Way, but I left that one at home and I only took this one - it was enough, I just took the map from the other book with me since some parts were not described in this book. And to be honest it would have been better if I only hiked the parts mentioned in this book, since the not shown part was very boring. I recommend this book to anyone who do not only want to make beach holiday in Antalya!
