Santorini

£9.50

Santorini on clear, waterproof and tear-resistant, indexed map with topographic and tourist information, five large street plans, maps of archaeological sites, and a map of the whole of the Cyclades. The map is published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project.

Topography is shown by altitude and bathymetric colouring with contours and spot heights. Road network shows local roads and tracks, gives driving distances on main and secondary roads and indicates scenic routes and locations of petrol stations. Ferry routes along the coast and to the nearby islands of Kameni and Thisaria are also marked. A separate inset of the whole of the Cyclades (1:1,000,000) shows ferry connections to Athens and between various islands.

The map shows locations of isolated hotels, campsites, youth hostels, restaurants and tavernas, beaches and harbours, viewpoints, archaeological sites, wineries, windmills, etc. Place names are given in both scripts. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 1’. Map legend includes English. Instead of the usual index of localities, the map has lists of accommodation, tavernas and shops, wineries, archaeological sites and churches, beaches and sport facilities, etc.

On the reverse are large detailed street plans at 1:2,600 of Fira (Thira) Ia, Imerovogli, Kamari and Perissa, indicating numerous accommodation and other facilities. All plans have indexes similar to the one provided for the main map. Two detailed plans show the archeological remains of Old Thira and Akrotiri. Also provided is an interesting set of seven panels showing the changes in the shape and the topography of the island over the geological time scale. Accompanying text is in German only.

”World Mapping Project” is an extensive series of maps at varying scales, aiming to provide coverage of countries and regions worldwide using clear, well presented cartography with both topographic and tourist information. Some titles in this series have been published in Britain by Rough Guides with the same original cartography and are listed on our website only under that imprint. However, if required, the original Reise Know-How editions can be ordered on request - please contact us by e-mail.

Sample of cartography:
Some elements of the cartography e.g. minor roads and contours are printed relatively faintly compared with other information such as major roads. Although clearly legible on the map, the lower contrast of these details has made them less obvious on the reproduction of the cartography presented here.

Legend includes English & German.
