Baedeker Allianz Travel Guide - Italy
Baedeker Allianz Travel Guide - Italy (2010), page 126
The authors Dr. Bernhard Abend and Anja Schliebitz give an impression of the country:
“Italy is not just a country – Italy is an attitude towards life. The country and its inhabitants represent a scale of different emotions that range from yearning for care-free life to an enjoyment of chaos and also include a thirst for knowledge or culinary cravings.”
Baedeker Allianz Travel Guide - Tuscany
Baedeker Allianz Travel Guide - Tuscany (2010), page 112
The author Jürgen Sorges gives an impression of the region:
“When hearing of Tuscany most people think of olive groves, vineyards and alleys of cypresses which meander through gentle rolling hills. But the landscape is much more varied – and by far not as smooth as picture postcards try to make believe. The predominant part of the region is hilly, the northwest can even be described as mountainous, the southwest on the other hand especially along the coast of the Maremma is rather low as it used to be marshland. Today it is partly protected as a natural reserve.”

DuMont Travel-Paperback - Peloponnese

The author Klaus Bötig gives an impression of the region:
“Crete is a world of its own. Greece’s largest island rises like a high mountain range with its almost 2,500 m high peaks from the sea. Here almost everyone will find what they are looking for: Long sandy beaches and secluded bays, vibrant nightlife and the tranquillity of wild chasms as well as many options for biking, golf, surfing or diving.”

he author Klaus Bötig gives an impression of the region:
“Rhodes has many faces: In Líndos and Kámiros travellers will be taken back to ancient times and the old city of Rhodes is steeped by more than 2,400 years of history. Greece’s fourth-largest island is green and is in parts densely forested; there are long sandy beaches but also tranquil small bathing bays.”

“www.atraveo.de - large internet platform for holiday homes and apartments with offers from tour operators as well as from private persons.”

"Mountains and the sea, green and blue are the characteristic for Chalkidiki. Modern hotels, fancy beach bars, endless beach variety and a well maintained network of hiking paths are only some of the touristic features one can enjoy. Each of its three peninsulas can be explored in one day, famous sights such as the Macedonian royal cities and the Metéroa monasteries are close by.”
DuMont Travel Pocket Book - East Frisian Islands and North Sea Coast
DuMont Travel Pocket Book - East Frisian Islands and North Sea Coast (2010), page 24
The author Claudia Banck gives an impression of the region:
“The Wadden Sea of the Danish, German and Dutch North Sea coast as a World Heritage Site of UNESCO is a very popular destination. It is a fascinating natural area and is somewhat a world of its own shaped by high and low tide. Amidst all of it lie the East Frisian Islands – like pearls on a string. And they all offer nature in abundance.”

The authors Bernd Wurlitzer and Kerstin Sucher give an impression of the region:
“Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is a country of what dreams are made of. Leaning on the railing of a pier and listening to the sound of the sea, watching the high-flying ospreys and cranes whilst strolling along a path in one of the nature parks which extend for miles through bright yellow fields of rape or counting the red poppy flowers along the wayside.”

DuMont Travel Pocket Book - Loire Valley (2009), page 26
The author Irene Martschukat gives an impression of the region:
“From all regions in the country the landscape of the Loire valley comes closest to the ideas connected with the expression ‘la douce France’, the ‘lovely France’. (…) Next to grand and small castles there are to this day picnic meadows under trees, hospitable villages where bakeries and butcheries are open on Sundays, small market towns where everyone has time for a little chat and where one goes to bed early after a lengthy dinners – not only in the Loire valley but also in the valleys of its tributaries Vienne, Indre, Cher and Loir.”
