Walking on Samos

Book excerpt: This is the first edition of the Walking on Samos guidebook, describing 21 walks on the Greek island of Samos, a paradise for walkers. The northern coast with its wooded slopes and vineyards is interlaced with old mule tracks and, together with the old monasteries and the archaeological sites around Pythagorio, these are strong features of the book. And in the south-west you can climb the highest mountain in the Aegean, 1,440 above sea level! 21 of the best old walking trails are described with detailed maps, GPS data and route photos along with lots of interesting facts worth knowing about the island. There is plenty to discover on one of the finest walking islands of Greece.
