Walking in Sicily: Short and Long-distance Walks,
Gillian Price - Gillian Price, Exploring this breathtaking island on foot
is a journey through time. Sicily offers wild valleys pitted with Greek
and Roman temples and ancient ruins - reminders of long-gone peoples. Mule
tracks and age-old pathways have survived and reserve a wealth of
surprises, starting with the carpets of brilliant wildflowers. Landscapes
are grandiose. Olive groves thrive alongside citrus orchards, never far
from snow-clad mountain ranges presided over by imposing volcanoes -
ranging from extinct and visitable, through to placidly smoking, and to
constantly active giants Etna and Stromboli, from which fiery rivers of
lava issue. In dramatic contrast is the string of peaceful offshore
islands set in turquoise waters, which are pure Mediterranean in
character. Sicily's stunning range of scenery, combined with its mild
winters and hot dry summers, make rewarding walking holidays feasible all
year round. Visits are facilitated by good road access and an excellent
network of public transport. Accommodation is plentiful, as are memorable
eating places with rich Mediterranean fare. Published Jan 06

Landscapes of Sardinia, Andeas
Stieglitz - Pocket-sized full-colour guide describing six long car tours, each spread over 2-3 days (Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean). But the major part of the book is devoted to 22 main walks and their many variations. There is a lovely pastoral feel to the Sardinian countryside. Flocks of sheep graze on verdant grassy slopes, moufflons and wild boar roam the rugged highlands, and eagles
hover silently above. Landscapes range from rocky windswept plains to rolling hills with lush pastures and sand dunes fringing a turquoise sea - all permeated by the fragrant odour of the Mediterranean macchia. The guide contains a fold-out touring map with plans of Sassari and Cagliari and large-scale (1:50,000) topo walking maps. There are no general transport timetables, but there is information about how to get
to a walk with local transport if applicable (the public transport system is generally of little use to walkers; Sardinia is best explored by car). Published April 10

Sardinia, Rother Walking Guide - Having recently visited Sardinia, we found this pocket-sized walking guide invaluable. The island isn't developed for walking or rambling and the Guide was a great starting point for discovering hidden trails. In the absence of any local topographical map, the illustrations
provided the necessary information to help us find our way. Without the Guide we would have seen much less of the countryside and will definitely make sure that we take these guides on our future hols in Europe. Buyer Review. Published April 00.
