Hello -

I'm once again after some advice please.

I would like to purchase walking guides or maps for Sifnos and Santorini.
I know Terrain Maps (http://www.terrainmaps.gr/index.php?l=en#products) produce some excellent maps that have the walks marked on them and I was just wondering if anyone has used them and how they found them?
Ideally like some thing that was not only a map put provided details of the walk - can anyone recommend and maps or book they have found useful for walking on these islands?

Thanks

Hi Akana,
Yeah I have seen that site, and it is a great resource (that was the site that led me to Terrain Maps). I would love to get my hands on the "nice folder with a little maps" that they mention on this page...haven't managed to track that one down yet.
A map or guide book that offered walk desription is really what I would like.

Best option: the Anavasi maps

http://www.anavasi.gr/products.php?lang=en&id=2&klimaka=&area=13

As well as the maps themselves there are descriptions of some of the walks, highlights found along the way, etc.

Easily found on the islands themselves (bookstores, tourist shops).

Gosh, thank you bthdth.
In all my google searching I haven't come across those maps - they look to be just what I am after.
I'll go ahead and order them.
