Europe Eastern: Railway & Road
Ordinær pris 199,00 krEurope may be small in comparison to Canada, but it is densely populated and difficult to map as a continent while providing detail. Eastern Europe used to be defined as everything behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War, but now it encompasses everything east of Germany and Switzerland, which means that this map covers Italy, Greece and the Balkan countries, the Central European countries of Romania and Hungary and most of Ukraine, Poland and the three Baltic states, and western Russia as far east as Volgograd, as well as much of Turkey. It is a combined road and rail map, showing motorways and major highways, fast-train routes in red and regular services in black. It also shows major cruise line routes, although many have been suspended due to Covid and political situations in Russia and Turkey.
Essentially, this is a map covering a very large area, as are our maps of Western and Central Europe, and our earlier map of Scandinavia. We have tried to make it politically correct, which is difficult considering the Russian occupation of Crimea and the Donetsk region of Ukraine and the on-going controversy over the ‘proper’ name for Macedonia, so we apologize for any errors. For simplicity’s sake, we have named most place names in English, so Roma is Rome and Moscva is Moscow etc. Fortunately, most English place names are the same in the local languages. However, being ITMB, Naples is Napoli, and Florence is Firenze, so don’t be too critical of us; we’re trying to reconcile differing perspectives.
Greece: Athens & Peloponnese
Ordinær pris 199,00 krAthens is one of the most ancient and historic cities in the world. The Acropolis is the mountain upon which rests the Temple Athena, often called the Parthenon as it dominates the terrain. There are two other ancient temples on the Acropolis as well. Close by is the Agora, the ancient city market centre, and at the foot of the Acropolis are two open-air theatres that date back to ancient times. Athens is also a modern city with congested roads, vibrant stores, and an excellent underground transit system. Included with Side 1 is a map of Piraeus, the nearby port city, with its many terminals for ferries leading to the various Greek islands. It is also one of the most active cruise ship terminals in the world, operating from Terminals A through C. A regional transit map is also included.
Side 2 concentrates on the peninsula (technically an island) west of Athens called the Peloponnese that is the home to Olympus, Sparta, and other former city states of legendary fame, and many of the Greek islands that are relatively close to Athens - Many of The Cyclades for example. By the shape of Greece, Delphi and much of Epirus is included. Altogether, this provides one map covering city and its hinterland for the benefit of the end user.
Greece
Ordinær pris 199,00 krGreece is one of the most important touristic destinations in the world. We have travelled the country extensively and have undertaken a serious upgrading of information for this edition. As a country, Greece divides naturally into three portions - the area around Athens and the Peloponnese, the far north region centred on Thessalonica, and the marvellous islands scattered around the southern portion of Greece.
This is an overall map, showing the latest road information and noting historic and cultural sites of interest to visitors, including world heritage sites. An inset map of Athens is included, but ITMB's map of the city would be useful for those exploring Athens in detail. We also published an expanded map of the Peloponnese, and another of Crete and Mykonos.
Greece: Crete; Mykonos & Santorini
Ordinær pris 169,00 krThe many islands off the coast of Greece can only be mapped properly a few at a time. Side 1 of this map shows the large island of Crete in good detail, with the relatively nearby island of Mykonos and its adjacent island of Rinia and the island of Santorini, with its adjacent islands of Thirasia and Nea Kameni being shown in great detail. A locality map showing the islands in relation to the rest of Greece is included as an inset. It is our intention to map more islands as time passes, but this depends upon future research trips (we lead a hard life!).
Side 2 of the map is a general map of Greece in relation to its neighbours to the north and east. The Mediterranean is divided into smaller seas, such as the Adriatic along the coast of Croatia, the Ionian to the west of Greece, the Myrtoan to its south and the Aegean to its east. All this area is replete with islands and geopolitical conflicts. As such, this map is useful for showing the region as an entity that links the Balkan states to the eastern Mediterranean.
