last updated 12 July 2008 Walking and Photography in the Greek Islands Maps of many of the Greek Islands are very poor compared with say, OS maps of the UK or the IGN maps of France. So is the level of detail on Google Earth. Some footpaths are very good, others are very difficult to find and follow, few are shown on maps. Walk books are sometimes available and can be helpful but are usually purely descriptive. Therefore walking guides are being prepared which use a combination of photographs of key way-points and GPS referencing using the international default WGS84.   for information contact Barry Hankey Descriptions of three walks have been completed for the Dodecanese island of Symi Walk 1 - to Viewpoint above Horio. Walk 2 - to Agios Vasilios and Lapathos Beach Walk 3 - to Agios Emilianos for photography of the Greek Islands see Photoze
