Sunflower Books Turkish Coast: Bodrum to Marmaris - Sunflower Complete Guide with Walks

This guide book — the only general guide in English to cover this part of the Turkish coast in detail — is an ideal companion for motorists who want to tour the Bodrum and Marmaris peninsulas by car, as well as those planning a holiday walking in Turkey. The book combines the best features of our ‘Landscapes‘ walking and car touring guides with all the detail you would expect in a hefty general guide, but it is pocket size and in full colour. Coverage includes getting there and getting about; recommended accommodation, campsites and restaurants (all with prices); practicalities A-Z; history; 15 main walks with many variations, all with large-scale topo maps; fold-out area map; large-scale town plans showing locations of all sights, hotels and restaurants; plans of historical sites; and many ‘feature’ panels. A Turkish poet once described the area between Bodrum and Marmaris as ‘terrifyingly’ beautiful. Silver-leaved olive groves and wild inland mountains yield up the stone remains of ancient civilisations. The dazzling multi-coloured bays, framed by fissured cliffs and collared with golden sand, are the stuff of dreams. This is one of a trilogy of ‘Complete’ guides to the Turkish Coast; moving east, "Turkey: Kas to Dalyan, with walks", "Turkey: Antalya to Demre, with walks". All the authors have been visiting Turkey for many years, writing general and walking guides. Area covered: Focussing on Bodrum and the Bodrum Peninsula, this book travels round the Gulf of Gokova to Marmaris and the Resadiye and Bozburun peninsulas. Also included are full details of excursions to Pamukkale/Hierapolis, Aphrodisias and Ephesus. The best months for walking in Turkey around Bodrum and Marmaris are April, May, September and October

Sunflower Books Turkish Coast: Antalya to Demre - Sunflower Complete Guide with Walks

This guide book — the only general guide in English to cover this part of the Turkish Coast in detail — is an ideal companion for motorists who want to tour Antalya by car, as well as those planning a holiday walking in Turkey. The book combines the best features of our ‘Landscapes‘ walking and car touring guides with all the detail you would expect in a hefty general guide, but it is pocket size and in full colour.

The main part of this book concentrates on the area west of Antalya, known both in antiquity and today as Lycia.

(The other two guides in this trilogy move west from Kas — "Turkey: Kas to Dalyan, with walks" and "Turkey: Bodrum to Marmaris, with walks".) All the authors have been visiting Turkey for many years, writing general and walking guides. Dean Livesley was one of the original developers of the famous Lycian Way, Turkey’s first long-distance footpath, and a key feature of this book is coverage of the Lycian Way as day walks, with full transport details. Area covered: Focussing on Antalya, this book moves east as far as Alanya and west to Demre/Kekova; highlights include Termessos and Olympos. The best months for walking in Turkey or walking the Lycian Way are April, May, September and October.
