Greek islands on contoured and GPS-compatible maps from Terrain Editions, presented at scales varying according to the size of each island. All place names are in both Greek and Latin alphabet. Most titles printed on light, waterproof and tear resistant synthetic paper – smaller islands are covered by pocket size paper maps as indicated in their individual descriptions.PLEASE NOTE: this series does not include Terrain Editionsโ€™ maps of Crete which are listed on our website separately.

Road network is very clearly graded according to width and the type of surface, distinguishing between good and rough dirt roads. Distances are marked on most small local roads, as well as locations of petrol stations and/or tyre repair workshops; scenic routes are highlighted. Each map also shows which ports are served by ferry services. Hiking paths are graded as main or narrow trails. National parks and other protected areas are marked and a wide range of symbols indicate various places of interest and recreational facilities, with main sights clearly highlighted. Most titles distinguish between sandy and pebble beaches; some also indicate beaches with natural shade and/or the type of sea bed. The maps have a UTM grid, plus latitude and longitude margin ticks. The reverse side is covered by general information about the island, illustrated with colour photos. Many titles also include brief descriptions of recommended hiking trails and/or a street plan of the islandโ€™s main town, with colouring clearly showing various tourist facilities.
