The Mediterranean

A practical handbook surveys principal coastal routes, seaports, island destinations, and adjacent Atlantic approaches of the Mediterranean region, offering route descriptions, visitor information, and extensive cartographic material. The text is organized into six main sections that cover Atlantic approaches and island groups, Iberian and North African coasts, western sea routes, detailed treatments of Algeria and Tunisia, and eastern sea routes extending toward the Black Sea, with a concise geographical overview. Entries combine route guidance, place-by-place descriptions, and navigational details while indicating where fuller coverage appears in related regional volumes. The work emphasizes up-to-date practical advice supported by numerous maps and plans.
