You may be aware of Inside the Mani - a guide. If you are not, it
is a specialised guide to the Mani that was published two years ago.
220 full colour pages, over 450 colour photos cover the whole area
in detail, including nine circular walks. Local sales over this period
have reached 600 a year. The book also has UK distribution through
the specialist travel distributor, Gazelle Books, who as well as
supplying book stores in the UK, also supply the online stores of
Amazon.co.uk, WH Smiths and Waterstones – simply type in “Inside
the Mani a guide” by Matthew Dean or its ISBN number (9789606313073)
on any of these sites to check out this presence.
“Inside Messinia – a guide” is being published for January 2009 and is
in the process of being written, following the same detailed format and distribution.
Unlike the accommodation section in the Mani guide, the type of accommodation
being advertised will not be solely hotels, but rather will aim to satisfy the
independent travellers’ need for exclusive villas. The look of each advert is
designed to fit in with the general design of the book, so the reader is not
even aware that they are looking at adverts but rather reading helpful information
that will ultimately lead to bookings. Each property will also be promoted through
this website.
To promote your property in this way will cost 500 euros for the example “two-page
advert” shown above (which appears in “Inside the Mani”). The print run will
guarantee a shelf life of a minimum of 4 years, resulting in an annual cost to
you of just 125 euros.
The guide will cover the whole of the county and the accommodation section will
host properties from all the tourist destinations - a colour-coded system will
refer each property geographically to its place in the body of the guide.
