.Sardinia GeoCenter Euro Map

by: Mairs

March 01, 2007
Ok, so it's a road/tourist map of Sardinia, but what makes these GeoCentre EuroMaps extra special is the rating system they give to cultural locations and scenic landscapes. This is really handy when you want to know whether to head for town a or town b for dinner or to decide if that squirly road on the map is the scenic road or the road to hell.

Easily the best map I've ever taken on holiday, and if you've been to Italy you'll know you need a map to find your way around.

.Corsica (Lonely Planet Country and Regional Guides)

by: Jean-Bernard Carillet, Miles Roddis

April 01, 2007
The group I was in went to Corsica with the main intention of walking the famous GR20. The section of the book about the walk was excellent with detailed information about each days walk, and useful advice about what gear to bring. We found most timings, and suggestions about what gear neccesary to err on the 'safe side'. So someone following the advice here should be ok. Where we did enter civilisation, the info about (budget) restaurants and places to say was fine in our experience. This guide contributed to a great holiday!

.Sardinia (Eyewitness Travel Guide)

by: Fabrizio Ardito

January 07, 2004
The Eyewitness Travel Guides also offer a great, visual introduction to the countries under review. This edition is no different, providing an accurate and informative text and some stunning local photogpahy.

The key to this book is accessibility, allowing a quick and enticing overview of the island. Split into easy-to-reference geographical sections and featuring the right balance of 'fact & photo', this is the perfect introduction to a beautiful island and people. The strength of this book is the broad range of the geography it reviews.

This book is not detailed enough for those seeking a good range of hotel or dining recommendations (for backpacking etc), but that aside it offers a very readable and useful first ... Read More:

.Italy (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Damien Simonis, et al

February 01, 2008
This is a good guide book, as all the guide books in the series, but I did expect a bit more from it. I travelled around Italy together with my husband the summer of 2005, and we used this guide book a lot. But it is a guide book, nothing more. There are quite a bit of things that have changed since the book was last edited, but this is expected. We are planning to send the findings we did to the editor, so that it can be added or changed in the next edition, perhaps.
We felt that the book focused too much on churches, castles etc, and a lot of really interesting things were missed - like the local food markets, which we love to visit. There wasn't much of "different" or "special" recommendations, it was just focusing on the "What to see ... Read More:

.The Rough Guide to Corsica - Edition 5

by: David Abram

April 27, 2006
What, no review yet for this gem, this Koh i Noor that shines in the so often bland and overhyped landscape of travel guides? I'm a guidebook writer myself and know scribes who had the unfortunate task of putting together a competing tome to Rough Guide's Corsica, and were plumb overwhelmed by the task. This book has all the insight, detail, and enthusiasm to carry any intelligent visitor through a rewarding visit to Corsica. And culture culture culture. All exceptionally well written, with no resort-led PR fluff.
