Product Description
Product Description
If holidays are about new experiences, then this pocket-sized full-colour will add a further dimension to your stay on Kefalonia. It solves two problems � where to walk and where to find good, traditional food. The gastronomical touch extends a little further, with recipes for some local dishes. There are strolls for hot days and longer walks to work up an appetite. And if you're just after some recommendations for where to eat, look no further! The book describes two excursions plus 10 easy to moderate walks, all illustrated with 1:35,000 topographical maps. Each excursion or walk recommends at least one restaurant en route serving local cuisine, with photograph, price guide, opening times, sample menus, and recipes for some of their specialities. Other sections include: planning your trip, getting about, food shopping (including health foods and local markets), glossary of food terms and restaurant mini-vocabulary. A special feature is the emphasis on natural local foods suitable for those with food intolerances. All recipes have been made by the authors and are known to 'work'. On-line updates keep readers abreast of route/restaurant changes.

We bought this guide as it seems to be the only walking guide to Kefalonia.
It's less use than the standard Sunflower walking guides, as it intersperses the walks with restaurant reviews and recipes. We didn't really find this much use, as we don't really eat much on our days out, and in the evenings we had our meals in the town where we were based. We did vist (and enjoyed) three of the restuarants listed. We also attempted most of the walks, sometimes adapting them. They're mainly short and undemanding, but as it was still pretty hot when we were there (late September) this was fine.
I'd prefer a proper walking guide, and if I want recipes or restaurant reviews I'll find them elsewhere. There must be plenty more good walks in Kefalonia that deserve to be mapped and publicised. Talking of maps, the single-page island map in this book is too small to be any use, and the walk maps are quite limited.
However, it has its uses and it's a neat little book that fits easily into a pocket or bag. Until something better comes along, it's probably worth having.

A useful little book. The guide provides a good insight into the island and especially its food as the title suggests. We made very little use of the walks as it was so hot when we visited! The recipes are good but probably beyond the scope of most Greek self catering accomodation.

There isn't a great selection of decent walking books for Kefalonia so to find a Sunflower book does get your hopes up. You'll be disappointed. This is an odd combination of magazine style recipies mashed up with half-hour ambles. Half the uninspiring photos contain pictures of the authors themselves - rather like finding someone else's holiday snaps by mistake. They seem to have a nice deal with Ionian Holidays, and thus appropriately bias themsleves with co-owned establisments in their reviews. In general the research is all low level stuff that could be cobbled together after a weeks stay (and probably was). I'd advise instead a decent ROAD Edition map and an off the shelf dedicated Greek cookbook.
