The Akaroa Historic Area Walk

Fodor's Review:

The Akaroa Historic Area Walk ambles along the narrow streets past quaint little cottages and historic buildings which reflect the area's multi-cultural background. A free map is available from the information center which outlines the walk and points of interest. A more detailed book is available for $9, which includes information on the historic homes and buildings you'll see along the way. You can start this easy two-hour walk at the information center. Akaroa Information Centre (80 Rue Lavaud. 03/304-8600).
