5.0 out of 5 stars a guide for all seasons, 18 Dec 2003
As someone who has enjoyed trekking in Greece with Michael, I can tell you that this book is almost as good as having him by your side. His directions are full of his characteristic wit and humor and he shares his deep knowledge of Greek culture effortlessly, providing nuggets of history, botany and such miscellany as how to deal with fierce sheepdogs. Reading his descriptions may whet your appetite for taking every single walk, but he also tells you where you might not want to go if your legs are a bit weak or you have no head for heights. But you don't have to have stout calves and hiking boots to enjoy this book. It also includes five possible car itineraries that take in suggestions for picnic spots, short walks and local landmarks. You'll find places in here that you won't find in any guidebooks, because Michael has been exploring the Greek mountains since childhood and worked on this guide for 10 years. If you think Greece is just islands and beaches, this book will introduce you to its other side, one that most visitors barely suspect exists. You couldn't be in better hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating insight into a little-known region, 9 Dec 2003
I bought this on a whim and found it invaluable for unlocking the secrets of the Mani and Neapoli pensinsulas in the Peloponnese.

We did several of the walks and were amazed by the beauty and the sheer tranquility of it all - barely a soul in sight except the occasional shepherd. The directions were excellent and the maps very helpful, which is just as well as most of the routes we did were not waymarked on the ground. Interesting insights into the flora, fauna and history of the area, like the medicinal uses of a local herb. And useful practical tips, like where to find the key to open a neglected Byzantine chapel. The hardest bit is finding your way around the Greek roads, which are very poorly signed and have clearly suffered from heavy winter-spring rainfalls in early 2003.

Certainly this is a fascinating insight into a little-known region of Greece - though that might change after the 2004 Olympics, I suppose.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exploring the secrets of the Peloponnese, 9 Oct 2004
By Guy Sedan "TCM Practitioner" (Jerusalem, Israel) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We did six walks from the book. All of them were shortened versions of the original longer walk.
The book is extremely helpful on arranging the logistics of how to reach the stating point and returning from a walk.
Most walks are very clear and precise, but sometimes the times are not accurate so one should walk carefully and pay attention.
To summarize, if you want a taste of the natural splendor of Peleponnese, this book is a must. (Walks 23 is very confusing so one should start early and have patience for the "barely-used trail through bush hillsides")
