Product Description

Product Description

This is a general guide to Zakynthos, but with special emphasis on the island's countryside and the National Marine Park. It covers getting there and getting about, recommended accommodation and restaurants (with price guides), practicalities A-Z, history, customs and traditions, religious festivals, and all the major sights.There are five car tours (with fold-out touring maps), highlighting places where you can stop for a walk or just a stroll to a lovely picnic setting. Much of the book is devoted to over 20 main walks, each with several variations and charmingly 'mapped out' with the author's own 3D drawings. But even non-walkers will appreciate the walking section: while the walk descriptions themselves are brief, each walk is followed by two facing pages focussing on the island's geology, habitats, agriculture, flora and wildlife - all illustrated (there are over 10 photographs for each walk). The author is a biologist who has lived on the island for over a decade, working with various governmental departments and the newly established Marine National Park; she is particularly interested in sea turtle research and conservation of the island's many habitats.

2.0 out of 5 stars Walk on with hope in your heart, 20 Jun 2008
By D. S. Spindler - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As very experienced Greek hikers, we bought this book specifically for the walks. We attempted 7 of them, but had to abandon 4 and retrace our steps as the descriptions did not give us enough information to continue. Throughout the walks we looked for the waymarks, but could only find very old faded marks or none at all.

Here are a couple of examples of our problems: In walk 17, Kampi coastal trail, we could not find point 7, which was described as a T junction, despite several attempts and we therefore never actually made it to the coast on this coastal walk. Also in walk 22, Pigadakia hills trail, the stone seat at point 5 seems to no longer exist and as this is a pivotal point of the walk we again had to retrace our steps to the start.

We were very disappointed that we could not complete the walks and felt that we would probably need GPS to frequently check our position. Appoximate timings for each stage of the walk would be helpful (We have found these to be helpful in other guide books)

The rest of the book is informative, nicely laid out with lovely illustrations and the car tours look OK, but if you want to walk, take care.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Useful Guide, 25 Aug 2008
By Mr. P. J. Macey (Somerset ,UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A really useful guide. Full of factual information that helped us explore the island. We found beaches and views that most tourists don't see. The resturant guide was particully good - we went to restuarants that only those who regularly travel to Zakynthois would find. The flora and fauna bits were also helpful.

The author should be congratualted for writing such an original and useful guide. We could not find a similar product; the guides in the local shops were full of pictures and light on facts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Guide, 9 Jun 2009
By Frances Donovan "Chadgiles" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I spent ages trying to find a decent guide to Zante (Zakynthos) as most of them were just for the Greek Islands or Ionian Islands. This book is one of the best guides I have purchased, as it is full of interesting information and gives tours of the island, whether you are on foot or driving around. The photos are excellent quality too. I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for a book about this beautiful island
