Cadogan Guides Flying Visits Mediterranean

Languishing in a long northern winter? Summer a distant memory? A city break doesn't have to mean tiring tramping of streets: all along the coasts of the countries bordering the Mediterranean- France, Italy, Spain, Greece - and on islands such as Cyprus, Malta, Mallorca, Sicily and Sardinia, are easily accessible seaside cities whose pace is always relaxed, where balmy weather, good food and wine and outdoor cafeacute; life are enjoyed all year round. You can also escape the city entirely with our easy day excursions and tours: follow a wine-tasting route, seek out unspoiled coves and fishing villages, see the world's oldest megalithic structures, head for the hills, watch the sunset from a clifftop temple or just sip cocktails in the warm dusk. So pack a weekend bag and jet off for some sun. Inside you will find: " 20 Mediterranean seaside cities and towns in one guide " How to get there, by air, road and rail " Up-to-date, insider advice on where to stay, eat, and shop " Nearest beaches and best places to soak up the sun " Day trips by local bus and train from each destination city " Foolproof five-day tours by car for those with more time to spare " User-friendly town and area maps to help you plan your tripFacaros, Dana is the author of 'Cadogan Guides Flying Visits Mediterranean ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781860111907 and ISBN 1860111904.
