  Croatia by Eyewitness Guides

  Price: £13.99    Add to Basket

  The most appetite-whetting of guides, Eyewitnesses come packed with colour photos and illustrations, all perfect for inspiring and enhancing your trip but perhaps lacking the crucial details some travellers require. The best section here is that on old Dubrovnik.

• 

  Portugal by Eyewitness Guides

  Price: £16.99    Add to Basket

  Sightseeing companion of exceptional design, packed with enticing photographs and illustrations accompanying excellent material on historical sites and artefacts. Less useful for the practical nitty-gritty however, though reasonable hotel and restaurant listings are provided.
