Synopsis

The go-to Sicily walking guide travel guide for discovering the best walks and car tours.

Strap on your boots and discover Sicily on foot with the Sunflower Sicily travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours.

The Sunflower Sicily guide is indispensable for hiking in Sicily or seeing Sicily by car. Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean rewards the countryside lover with its magnificent landscapes. Peter Amann knows the island intimately; he leads walking groups on Sicily and works for the preservation of its monuments. There is enough material in this book for several holidays. For those touring Sicily by car, the eight car tours (mostly circular and covering 2000 km) follow little-used secondary roads wherever possible. If you’re walking in Sicily, the routes are as varied in length and grade as the landscape itself ― a distillation of the best on the island. Whatever your age or ability we’ve got some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you have a memorable holiday in Sicily.

No holiday would be complete without one of these guides. In fact it has got to the point of seeing what destinations are covered and planning our next trip accordingly. Very much more than just a walk book. Sicily is a stunner scenically. (AL, Amazon)

Good old Sunflowers, those thin blue books that walkers on the Continent trust like seasoned friends from Sicily to the Azores ― they never fail to find you a really good walk. (Christopher Somerville, Weekend Telegraph)

I purchased this guide having previously used the excellent Sunflower series on walking holidays in Corsica, Picos de Europa and the Azores. The format is excellent: a pocket size book with small maps embedded in each walk’s description, and a larger pull-out map at the back showing the location of the walk. Highly recommended.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Since 1983 people out walking in sunny climes have been relying on our ‘little blue books’ to follow the trails – and to make friends with other walkers. Sunflower started by exploring the Atlantic Islands, but has branched out: we still love islands – from the Azores to Zakynthos – but we cover many mainland destinations too, like land-locked Switzerland and the coastal Basque Country. All our guides have the familiar mix of car tours, walks and picnics. More recently, we introduced restaurants and recipes in our ‘Walk & Eat’ series, which explores around cities from Stockholm to Avignon.
