Trekking in Greece
Experience Greece’s finest trekking adventures on its premier long-distance trails: the 220km Peloponnese Way and the 460km Píndos Way. Traversing the rugged limestone backbone of the country, these demanding but non-technical routes reveal Greece’s wildest, greenest mountain landscapes and offer a spectacular escape into remote regions untouched by mass tourism. For those seeking shorter yet equally stunning options, week-long treks in the Zagóri district and an ascent of Mount Olympus, the legendary home of the gods, are also included. Ideal for walkers with a taste for wilderness and cultural discovery, the Peloponnese Way is described in 14 graded stages (7–20km each), crossing the peninsula from the northern village of Dhiakoftó to the golden sands of Pantazí beach in the south, via Trípoli. Along the way, you’ll traverse alpine meadows, dramatic gorges, and forested slopes, encountering traditional villages and ancient monasteries nestled in the hills. The Píndos Way, a more secluded four-week journey, spans 30 stages (8–31km), following the mountainous spine of Greece from Ámfissa to the summit of Mount Grámos on the Albanian border. This epic trek weaves through lush forests of Greek fir, black pine, and beech, over high passes and deep ravines, and into timeless villages that have changed little over the centuries. Wild camping is required for some sections, adding to the sense of self-reliant adventure. Trek through celebrated Greek landscapes including the forested slopes of the Peloponnese, the dramatic ravines and peaks of the Píndos range, the iconic Vikos Gorge in Zagóri, and the mythic heights of Mount Olympus. Both the Peloponnese and Píndos Ways are best undertaken from late spring to early autumn, when mountain meadows are bursting with wildflowers and the weather is most settled. Snow lingers on the highest peaks until April, and summer brings cooler air to the heights even as the lowlands swelter. These hiking routes in Greece are demanding rather than technical, suitable for fit walkers seeking a true immersion in Greece’s mountain wilderness. Walks are graded (mostly at Grade 3) to reflect the physical commitment required, given the remoteness and lack of organised facilities. Accommodation along the treks in Greece ranges from village guesthouses and mountain monasteries to wild camping, especially on the Píndos Way. Each section includes notes on available facilities, potential campsites, water sources, and public transport access for flexible itineraries. Each stage features a detailed information box with start and finish points, distances, estimated walking times, height gain and loss, and waymarking details. Clear 1:100,000 mapping and practical stage introductions make navigation in Greece straightforward, even in the most remote terrain. Additional routes in the Zagóri region (6 daily stages) and on Mount Olympus (4 daily stages) are included, allowing you to tailor your trek or add extra days of exploration. Plan your Greek trekking adventure with confidence using the definitive Cicerone guidebook, and immerse yourself in the untamed beauty, history, and culture of Greece’s mountain heartlands.

Tea and Grit
In 2009, while the US Government is hunting down Osama bin Laden in the Middle East, Helen Watson and her husband Ed set off on a cycling expedition from Glasgow to China. Driven by a desire to understand the world beyond the media portrayal of George W. Bush's 'Axis of Evil', the couple pedal 15,000 km along the Silk Road - ancient trade routes that were undergoing rapid modernisation. Crossing deserts and mountains, minefields and military zones, they reach Muslim China via Syria, Turkey, Iran and Central Asia. Plagued by sandstorms, overzealous officials and endless punctures, Helen and Ed camp with Bedouin, sleep in farmers' houses, and are hosted by students and local dignitaries. They are waylaid with hundreds of cups of tea and interrogated about Western culture. and marriage. Soon after the couple return home, the Arab Spring breaks, and the world Helen and Ed have visited is plunged into war and unrest. Memories of the hospitality the pair received lead them to welcome refugees to Scotland through the UK's first community sponsorship scheme - and to Helen writing about their adventure. Tea and Grit: a Bicycle Journey along the Silk Road illuminates places rarely visited by Western travel writers. Through Helen's evocative prose, visit Homs, the most embattled city of the Syrian War; Raqqa, the former capital of Islamic State; the Kurdish heartland of Eastern Turkey; the Islamic Republic of Iran; the secretive state of Turkmenistan; and Kashgar in Uyghur China. Through Helen's eyes, gain privileged glimpses into the lives of women in parts of the world characterised by the oppression of female liberties. Join Helen and Ed as they forsake the white noise of everyday British life to focus on real decisions: where to sleep, what to eat, how to stay safe. Rich in insight and compassion, Tea and Grit is a book about the rich and poetic cultures of the Silk Road, which have become imperilled by the aftermath of 9/11. Above all, Tea and Grit is a book about why it is more important than ever before to drink tea with the people we fear as strangers.
Arctic
This extensively updated fifth edition of Bradt's Arctic is an engagingly written and beautifully illustrated full-colour guidebook to some of the world's most exciting wildlife. Designed with expedition-cruise passengers in mind, it is an ideal companion both on board and ashore, providing fascinating accounts of the most likely animals and plants to be seen - from polar bears and beluga whales to snowy owls and snow buttercups. Only a small number of hardy and evocative creatures - including narwhals, walruses and Ross's gulls - call the Arctic their year-round home. But come summer, the region explodes with life as plankton and plants flourish to support a massive population of fish, seabirds and whales, all taking advantage of seasonal abundance before retreating south to avoid the ice. For these few short months of almost endless daylight, the coastal Arctic - from Greenland to Svalbard, Alaska to the Bering Sea - offers a parade of wildlife delights. On a typical Arctic expedition cruise, you might marvel at walruses lounging on rocks or scan for harp seals bobbing in icy water. Watch Arctic foxes sniffing out goose eggs or gawp at the torrent of little auks flooding to cliffside breeding colonies. Keep your eyes peeled for polar bears and ivory gulls on ice floes, for the bushy blow that heralds a humpback whale or for a flash of white that signifies a beluga whale. Packed with fascinating natural histories that bring to life star species, and freshly updated throughout, Arctic is a timely celebration of polar nature in an era when climate change is profoundly affecting extreme northern latitudes. Written by the late Tony Soper, expedition leader and founder of the BBC Natural History Unit, illustrated with full-colour watercolour paintings from award-winning wildlife artist Dan Powell, and updated by naturalist and award-winning travel writer James Lowen, this new edition is packed with fascinating insights into the natural history of Arctic wildlife, its narrative bringing to life the creatures that visitors are likely to encounter. An eminently portable guidebook, Bradt's Arctic is the ideal companion for anyone exploring the far north.

Happy Land
A personal view of ‘the world’s happiest country’ from an accidental expat in FinlandTim Bird arrived in Finland by accident in the early Eighties. More than forty years on, he is still there. He has watched the transformation of his adopted homeland from semi-detached member of the Soviet bloc to modern European nation that tops the rankings, year after year, as ‘the happiest country in the world’. Does it deserve that status? Do the Finns, known for their hard drinking, their sisu (grit) and their passion for heavy metal, recognise that description of themselves? Telling the story of his own path to Finnish citizenship while also delving into the writings of a 19th-century British traveller, Bird interrogates the claim made on Finland’s behalf. In this clear-sighted – but never cynical – sideways look at the land of the sauna, the Northern Lights and the Moomins, Bird spotlights the Nordic nation’s distinctive culture, landscape and language. As he helps us understand the Finnish notion of contentment, are there life-lessons for the rest of us?
