Kefalonia (Landmark Visitor Guide)

A delightful walking and eating guide, illustrated with scores of photographs, ideal for short-break holidays. 10 walks and 2 excursions are described, as are reviews of restaurants/hotels en route (with sample menus).

If holidays are about new experiences, then this invaluable guide will add a further dimension to your stay on the island of Kefalonia (sometimes called Cephalonia). It solves two problems - where to walk and where to find good, traditional food. The gastronomical touch extends a little further, with recipes for many local dishes. There are strolls for hot days and longer walks for working up an appetite. And if you're just after some recommendations for where to eat, look no further!

The book describes two excursions plus ten easy to moderate walks, all illustrated with clear topographical maps. Each excursion or walk recommends at least one restaurant en route serving local cuisine. The book also contains scores of photographs of restaurant exteriors and interiors, price guides, opening times, sample menus, and recipes for some of their specialities. Following each restaurant entry is one or more of their recipes, (all tested and known to ‘work’) to be made in self-catering accommodation or at home.
Other sections 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 needing gluten- or dairy-free food. And Sunflower’s unique free on-line updates for purchasers of the book keep readers abreast of route/restaurant changes that may occur in the future.
