The first comprehensive illustrated book on the Cyclades
archipelago, which also includes the well-known islands of
Santorini, Naxos, Paros and Mykonos. The islands are currently
among the trendiest travel destinations in the world. There is no
Hollywood or Instagram star who has not been photographed in front
of the white cities of the Greek islands. This illustrated book
attempts to capture the islands' attitude to life in an undisguised
way. In doing so, the volume does not aim at the big tourist
hotspots and Instagram shots that can be seen everywhere else, but
would like to capture the Greek island world as a whole - with all
its discrepancies. Lonely bays and half-ruined towns stand next to
the glossy world of the rich and famous who spend the summer on the
islands. Highlife in summer next to almost deserted streets in
winter. Greek tradition next to modern mass tourism. It is
precisely these discrepancies that make the volume so distinctive.
In addition, each individual island has its own exciting
peculiarities that are worth discovering. The volume also portrays
in pictures and text local Greeks who pursue an exciting
profession: The last fishermen of the island, the priest of a
mountain church on Naxos, the last local beekeeper, etc. Rudi
Sebastian has spent many weeks on the islands over several years in
all seasons and has followed the soul of the country and its
people. He was at least once on every single island of the region,
so he attaches importance to completeness. The result is a probably
unique collection of images that reflects the island life in all
its facets. Text in English and German.

"Whether you are new to the area or a frequent visitor, this book
will be the perfect companion for your exploration of
Northumberland and Hadrian's Wall." - Worldwide Writer Hadrian's
Wall once marked the northern edge of the Roman Empire, and was
built to intimidate the uncouth tribes of hostile local natives.
Now a UNESCO world heritage site, Hadrian's Wall is the largest and
most important Roman site in Britain. Use this book to explore
Hadrian's Wall Country, from Tynemouth to the Solway Firth. You'll
discover how the Romans took a bath - and where they went to spend
a penny; why aliens came to stay in a small rural town; where King
Arthur lies sleeping until his country needs him; and whether Robin
Hood really did take a wrong turn on his journey from Dover to
Sherwood Forest. You can also find out if Hadrian was a great
emperor or a ruthless tyrant; why pubs were state-owned in
Carlisle; where to find the Centre of Britain; and why treasure may
lie unclaimed at the bottom of a deep, dark lake. Written by
someone with extensive knowledge of the region, this book will help
you discover the delights of Hadrian's Wall Country, and even learn
some local dialect along the way.

Experiential travel has always been at the heart of Rough Guides.

of personal recommendations, from retracing Odysseus's footsteps on

mopane worm in Zimbabwe. Every one is special, and authentic, and -
above all - inspiring. This fifth edition has been fully revised

spanning beautiful national parks, captivating wildlife and
dramatic landscapes. Entries are divided into regions, so you can

Saskatchewan. Lively and engaging text captures the essence of the
experience, while essential "Need to Know" sections at the end of
each chapter make it easy for you to plan your trip. Packed full of
