Book description
The Maltese Islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino bask in sunshine at the
heart of the Mediterranean, between Europe and Africa. That location has
ensured that the islands have been colonised time and time again,
leaving them with a colourful and complex history and heritage. The
islands are a popular tourist destination. They offer plenty of historic
walks, stunningly beautiful and dramatic architecture, and a good amount
of excellent scenery, especially around the cliffs and coastlines. The
guide offers 33 walks round the three islands. They range from heritage
trails round historic cities and towns to coastal walks, and also
include the exploration of inland areas. The introduction to the guide
provides practical information on getting to and around the islands,
accommodation and language. There is also useful background information
on Maltese history, geography, and flora and fauna. Paddy Dillon is a
prolific outdoor writer of both books and magazine articles. He
generally leads at least one guided walking holiday overseas every year
and has walked in many parts of Europe, as well as Nepal, Tibet and the
Canadian Rockies. Paddy is a member of the Outdoor Writers' Guild.
