Reader Reviews:
a walker's book (1/1 people found this helpful)
This isn't an alternative to a lonely planet style guide book, it's aimed at the hiking / walking community instead which I now understand is what the Sunflower Guides do. (I didn't realise this when ordering it). There are only 8 pages on Kas itself (accommodation, restaurants, bars etc) which I found disappointing as I assumed it would have more detailed info than for example, a guide book on the whole of Turkey. I did find the tone of the book a little patronising at times too.
There is good page and a half on Kastellorizo with a couple of walks and a few recommendations which was a welcome surprise.
Highlight of the book (in the helpful section on haggling when buying Turkish carpets)
"If you know next to nothing about carpets, by all means buy a cheap one as a souvenir (when you consign it to the loft the moths will be happy) - or go to a specialist back home.... If you must buy a carpet in Turkey...check the thickness of the knots... Be sure to ask if the carpet can fly and, if not, immediately ask for a 50% discount..."
The back cover has a useful fold out road map of the region.
If you're planning on doing lots of walking in the region it's probably perfect for you, but if you're looking for a guide book with a bit more info then this probably isn't for you.
