The entries in this guide are special in many different ways: we choose places for the warmth of their welcome, their style whether grand or not, their value for your money, & their wonderful locations. You'll find a gorgeous family villa hidden on its very own Cycladic beach, & a historic apartment tucked away in an island's Venetian citadel. But it's not just about the islands. The Peloponnese has Greece's highest concentration of ancient sites, its emptiest beaches & some fantastic places to stay, from restored medieval tower-houses to the elegant residences of neo-classical Nafplion. The mainland offers stunning mountain scenery & timeless villages, & you can choose between a cosy stone inn & a grand Ottoman seminary for a night. Our approach is unusual & subjective. There are no set rules, no interminable checklists & no hard & fast criteria for inclusion. We look for what we like, & celebrate the unusual, the beautiful & the individual. ...

Walking the Greek Islands is a series of pocket guides from Dieter Graf offering a total of 220 walks in the Cyclades & the Dodecanese islands. All the walks come with detailed maps, exact times, GPS-points & photos for better orientation.

Each guide features a description of the islands including information on flora, fauna & geology before detailing the walks. The route descriptions are accompanied by GPS data, exact time, detailed maps & photographs (often pointing distinctive places for better orienteering), as well as cultural details about the area. For longer walks shortcuts & alternative routes are provided. The author Dieter Graf is an enthusiast for walking in Greece & has known the islands since the 1970s. ...

Place names (other than those of administrative municipalities & some mountains) are given in both Greek & Latin alphabets. Bold relief shading shows the country’s topography, with names of mountain ranges & peaks. National parks & other protected areas are highlighted. Road network distinguishes between asphalted & unsurfaces local roads & indicates driving distances on principal routes. Railway & ferry routes are included & local airports are marked. A range of symbols highlight various places of interest, including archaeological sites, byzantine monasteries, castles or fortifications, etc. The map also indicates the country’s best beaches & shows locations of campsites.
