Modern Maps

The modern maps I found were not very useful. I climbed from Atheras up to Mt Lachties without a map (there were no tracks). Odysseus Unbound gives a good idea of the landscape.

Book cover

Rama’s Road-Tourist & Navy Map, 7th edition June 2011, is misleading. It shows a path up and down the east side of Kasteli which does not exist. And there are tracks and roads that do exist in the area that are not shown on the map. Good for identifying beaches.

Book cover

Anavasi’s Hiking and Touring Map, 2011 edition, is also inadequate. It shows a road skirting the foot of Kasteli which does not exist, not at least for the full extent shown on the map.

Book cover

Collins’ Holiday Map, 2000 edition, is too general to be of much use. The road is shown incorrectly to stop at Atheras and become a footpath down to Atheras Bay. Good for a visit to woody Zakynthos.
