Product Description

Review

'The Mountains of Greece opens up the remote hinterland and the best mountains, with plenty of peak-bagging days alongside treks to historical sites such as Delphi. It also includes my all-time favourite, the Zagori Circuit. Taking into account that many of the 41 routes could be connected to become one long expedition, the potential for trekking is immense. Whatever your attitude, if you are a keen hillwalker who likes the idea of exploring a remote, often challenging landscape, as far from the 9-5 daily grind as you can get on this planet, this book is required reading.' (Walking World Ireland Magazine / Sept 2006) 'Cicerone guides have evolved into handy plastic covered, heavy duty-paged, pocket-sized handbooks. This one is bang up-to-date, introducing the way that communities in the mountains have disappeared or evolved, with consequent changes to the tracks. It gives good advise about how to deal with these largely deserted ranges. Can't wait to do some of these wild mountain treks.' (Irish Mountain Log magazine / Autumn 2006) Within the 350 plus pages of the book, there are literally years upon years of walking, making this one of the best value books on walking in existance. Just dream, some high level walking finished off with a few days next to the Aegean! The Aitchison-Jones Walker's Pocket Book 2007

Product Description

Most of Greece is mountains, not the islands and seaside that many visitors tend to think of. They are beautiful mountains, rugged, undeveloped, remote and yet accessible. Alpine pastures soften the harshness of the crags, forests fill the ravines, and springs and rivers abound - a startling contrast to the baking lowlands. There is a rich and rare variety of wild flowers and butterflies. And what survives of the ancient pastoral way of life is full of interest too. The first comprehensive guide to the Greek mountains to appear in any language when first published in 1986, this book has been completely re-walked and rewritten for this edition. Its backbone remains the traverse of the Pindos range, but the guide also highlights several regions of special interest that can provide one to two weeks' walking. Walking the mountains of Greece is demanding rather than technically difficult, and is culturally fascinating. These mountains are well within the capabilities of a reasonably fit and committed walker.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive guidebook to Greek walking, 21 Jun 2009

By	Kevin Mckeown (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I completed the main walk in this book - the 4 week Pindhos traverse and also the traverse of Olympus in May last year. I used the book extensively at the planning stage prior to departure and refered to it umpteen times per day on the trek itself. The background section is very useful for those who do not know Greece very well and gives an excellent overview of all the questions first time visitors might ask. The actual route descriptions are very good, containing detail where necessary, but written in a easy to read and enjoyable style. They provide the reassurance needed when crossing generally unpopulated and certainly unsignposted terrain armed only with a compass and Anavasi 1:50K maps.
The author clearly has a deep passion about his subject and using his extensive knowledge and experience has written a brilliant guidebook with lots of detail. I really cannot stress enough how impressive the content is.
Clearly there are the very odd minor errors as paths or facilities change, etc. However the book is quite simply indispensable both if you are planning some excellent trekking in this beautiful and very rugged mountainous country and on the treks themselves.
From a practical point of view, the guide book is extremely well laid out (though colouring on the maps could have a little more contrast). The book itself is very tough and stood up to a lot of abuse on my travels.
