The Mountains of Greece is Tim Salmon’s Cicerone guide to walking in some of Europe’s most demanding peaks, with contributions from Michael Cullen. The guide describes a traverse of the Pindhos range & walks in regions including Athens & the east coast, the Peleponnese & the Mani. Most of Greece’s mountains are undeveloped & remote, yet are still accessible & the author provides detailed itineraries for some of the best walking opportunities that the country offers. The guide is divided into four main chapters covering the general areas mentioned above & takes in Mt Parnasos, Mt Ghiona, Mt Vardhousia, Agrafa, the Aspropotamos, Zagoria & Mt Gamila, Mt Parnitha, My Olympus & the Pilion Peninsula, Mt Athos, Mt Khelmos, Mt Parnon, Mt Taigetos, Cape Maleas & the Mani, covering 41 routes in total. Each walk has an information box providing details on walking time, distance, Waymarking, height gain & loss & a difficulty grading. There is also a general overview of what to expect from the day’s walking. A comprehensive introduction explores traditional Greek mountain life, general history & flowers & wildlife & there are practical tips on sleeping & eating, weather, when to go, what to take, & getting to the mountains. Detailed route descriptions are accompanied by colour sketch diagrams mapping the route in addition to colour photographs illustrating some of the highlights of the country’s mountain landscapes. ...
