Sunflower - Landscape Series - Paxos

Sunflower Landscape Guide - Paxos

Paxos, just 19 sq km of cosy countryside, is little more than a broken fragment of hills sitting anchored off the southern end of Corfu. The hills are cloaked in a cool mantle of olive trees. Dark groves of cypresses pierce this silvery-green mantle. In the shade of these wooded hills lie sprinklings of rustic hamlets. But the real beauty of Paxos is the dazzling necklace of turquoise green coves that collar the eastern coastline.

Paxos is the ideal 'get away from it all' destination - where everyone strolls through the olive groves and along the coast.

Pocket-sized and in full colour, this new edition describes just one car tour on this tiny island, where most people get around on foot. There is a fold-out, very large scale map for motorists, cyclists and walkers (scale 1:18,000; revised 2009). This is the only book dedicated to Paxos, and includes timetables for local transport.

1 car tour, 25 long and short walks, 9 picnic suggestions - all illustrated on the large-scale fold-out touring/walking/cycling map of Paxos and Antipaxos (1:18,000). Plan of Gaios. Free online update service with specific route change information on the publisher's website, maintained daily.

The 'Landscapes' series, with 50 destinations, has been dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times and led to Sunflower being one of only four publishers (from a field of 18) chosen as a Which? Recommended Provider of Guidebooks.
