Anavasi Santorini: 2019

However, there is more than the visual excitement to discover and if you don?t take the time to walk the island you will have learnt little of Santorini. The new Anavasi map will take hiking in every corner, beach and hill top of Santorini and Thirassia to discover landscapes with visible signs of the traditional rural culture, with orchards stonewalls, threshing floors, huts, chapels, inland villages with a well preserved medieval core (called Castelo), routes with wonderful vistas, lost beaches quiet even in the heart of summer. The new map is double in size and scale than the previous version, that means more information and detail.

Random House USA Inc A Walk in the Woods
Book SynopsisThe Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America–majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaining guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way–and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).
