Product Description

If holidays are about new experiences, then this pocket-sized full-colour will add a further dimension to your stay on Kefalonia. It solves two problems � where to walk and where to find good, traditional food. The gastronomical touch extends a little further, with recipes for some local dishes. There are strolls for hot days and longer walks to work up an appetite. And if you're just after some recommendations for where to eat, look no further! The book describes two excursions plus 10 easy to moderate walks, all illustrated with 1:35,000 topographical maps. Each excursion or walk recommends at least one restaurant en route serving local cuisine, with photograph, price guide, opening times, sample menus, and recipes for some of their specialities. Other sections include: planning your trip, getting about, food shopping (including health foods and local markets), glossary of food terms and restaurant mini-vocabulary. A special feature is the emphasis on natural local foods suitable for those with food intolerances. All recipes have been made by the authors and are known to 'work'. On-line updates keep readers abreast of route/restaurant changes.

Customer Reviews

Fairly poor effort by the Sunflower brand
There isn't a great selection of decent walking books for Kefalonia so to find a Sunflower book does get your hopes up. You'll be disappointed. This is an odd combination of magazine style recipies mashed up with half-hour ambles. Half the uninspiring photos contain pictures of the authors themselves - rather like finding someone else's holiday snaps by mistake. They seem to have a nice deal with Ionian Holidays, and thus appropriately bias themsleves with co-owned establisments in their reviews. In general the research is all low level stuff that could be cobbled together after a weeks stay (and probably was). I'd advise instead a decent ROAD Edition map and an off the shelf dedicated Greek cookbook.
