Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean and long a Mecca for culture freaks, also 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. GPS tracks are available from the author's website.

8 car tours (with accompanying touring maps), 60 long and short walks (illustrated with 1:50,000 topo maps), 27 picnic suggestions. 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.

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. --(RS, Amazon)

This is our 9th Sunflower book and all of them have been very useful in not only finding good walks but in discovering interesting sights. The walks we did in this book such as Zingaro and Piano Battaglia wer excellent... The book has proven its worth in helping us find different approaches to viewing areas overrun with tourists such as Segeste where the walk gave us a different perspective to the norm. --(Kathryn, Amazon)
