Best Map
« on: April 18, 2009, 03:56:14 PM »
I have just received the map from "Mapman" which was drawn, by hand, by him. He includes his reasons for taking on such a daunting task. He lived on the Island and using all sorts of map, frequently got lost because roads shown did not exist or were only tracks. The  result is very impressive and he guarantees all roads shown do exist, although being some years old, new roads may have been built, or tracks upgraded. One example of this is the road which by-passes Sidari is shown as a track. I would have no hesitation to recommend this map if you intend to drive in Corfu.  You can contact Stephan at: thecorfumap@ntlworld.com

The reason Stephen made his map was because most of the others around were rubbish. His is definitley the best one to have.

I have studied the top half of the Island and compared to a couple of maps I bought - no comparison - Stephen is KING!!
Very Accurate!!
