Itineraries to Discover – serie

Developed in the late '80s, the eco-tourist approach is characterised by a two-fold concern for the places visited and the well-being of the people who live there. The means of eco-sustainable transport can be diverse: a canoe or kayak, a bicycle, a horse or mule... even our own legs! You may say the same for accommodation facilities: hotels, bed and breakfasts, farmhouses that are keen on recycling, using renewable energy sources and meeting the criteria to be a green-building. Fifty routes to eco-friendly travel around the world: each chapter will provide useful travel directions, schematic maps, information on stages to follow and tips for travelling in an environmentally sustainable way (from equipment to contacts of ecological facilities). Stunning pictures will accompany the reader in discovery of the most beautiful scenarios of the world: from forests and mountains to historic roads, small villages, peaks and deserts.

Cities of art and culture that captivate. Villages at the top of tightly-knitted roads, or, stretched out across waves of vineyard-covered hills. Monuments, palaces, and cathedrals that chronical centuries past. A place where history is imprinted in every wall and enchantment found in every breath-taking landscape. A journey through Italy is always rich; it is a country with hidden treasures in every corner. This beautiful photographic book takes the real or daydreaming traveller through Italy's most spectacular itineraries. Taking time to describe not only the landscape and historical sights, but also the culture, traditions, celebrations, and specialities of each territory along the way.
