Phototopo guide to sport climbs at Antalya on the Turkish Mediterranean coast. Much steep limestone, sunshine and interesting historical ruins to visit on rest days (and that's not just the hungover climbers). Although renowned as a venue for hard routes in fact one third of the climbs in this guide are F6a+ or below, with many at F5.

For climbs, read mainly scrambles - this is not really a rock climbing guide though some basic climbing information and a limited number of routes are described (for climbing in the Wadi Rum area you need Treks and Climbs in Wadi Rum, Jordan - see below). This new guide now covers most of Jordan including Pella, Ajloun, Amman, Madaba, Karak, Dana, Wadi Musa, Wadi Rum village and Aqaba. Far more than a trekking guide, this excellent book tells you loads about the country, its history and culture.

By Di Taylor & Tony Howard (Tony Howard was one of the founders and directors of the famed British climbing equipment company, Troll. He and Di have made over 40 visits to Jordan). Card cover, 331 pages.
