Where to stay: There is now a bus running between Lourdata and Argostoli via Trapezaki. (User, 4/08)

Walk 1: Here is a remark on your excellent book: There is a beautiful alternative for the route (Along the piccolo yiro). Some time after Sto Psito there is a wall on the left, coloured beige. Just behind the wall there is a path to the sea and from there there is a magnificent path along the sea till a few hundred meters before the Lighthouse. (User, 10/07)

Walk 2: When you pass Ag Andreas on the right, the small beach shown on page 56 (not page 60) is opposite. (User, 11/07) + The O NIKOS Taverna was not open (or possibly not even still operating) in early July this year. Otherwise this book and the walk & eat Madeira book (which we used in February) were extremely useful and informative. (User, 7/08)

Walk 3 and island map page 110: The location of Walk 3 is shown in the wrong place on the island map (at the wrong Moní Ag Gerasímos). This monastery is on the yellow road shown running northeast from St George' castle.

Walk 6: The bus times are such that there isn't really time to do the full walk on a day trip from Argostoli. I know you have given suggestions for shortening the walks, however what would be handy is giving directions on how to recognise the starting point for sections of the walk if done in reverse (eg I tried, but failed to find the path to 'Throne of the Queen of Fiskardo' from the main road in Fiskardo ). (User, 11/07) + To Pefko Taverna - You say you have to sit by the main road. Go through the taverna and sit in the olive/citrus grove out the back. Also accessible by the small gate off the road. Great book! (User, 1/08)

Walk 7: O Faros & Dolphins Tavernas are not open all year, only in season. (User, 1/08)
