Overview

Escape to the World's Most Spectacular Islands

This guidebook leads you on an irresistible tour of some of the most magnificent islands around the globe--from tiny isles to island nations, and from the well-trod to the totally uninhabited. Whether it's the history and charm of islands like Mont-Saint-Michel (France) and Ocracoke (United States) or the unspoiled vistas of far-flung places like Antarctica and Polynesia's Tuvalu, you'll discover a host of islands you'd love to visit--or stay on forever.

The book includes contact information and details on transportation and accommodations to make trip-planning easy. A geographical index helps you find destinations quickly.
