"Why don't you start in Naples and go clockwise round the Mediterranean instead of dashing off in all directions like a lunatic?" Fortunately, Eric Newby followed his wife Wanda's advice - and so begins this wonderfully madcap adventure. Using every form of transportation conceivable, the adventurous but disaster-prone pair travel around the sea at the centre of Western history, journeying from Naples to Venice, along the Adriatic to Greece, Turkey, Jerusalem and North Africa. Whether sipping wildly extravagant cocktails in San Marco, scaling Mount Olympus or the Great Pyramid, or being cordially invited to Libya by Colonel Gaddafi, Newby leaves no stone unturned in his quest for wonderfully detailed and quirky experiences to share with his reader. Bizarre and wonderful, and infused with Newby's trademark charm and wit, On the Shores of the Mediterranean is an adventure not to be missed.
