About this title

Review

The five-spurred Gothic Range and its three medieval castles. Loggerhead turtles and long-eared hedgehogs. Palaces and Turkish baths. More religious and archaeological sites than you can shake a stick at. Cyprus is absolutely glutted with cool stuff to do and see. In usual straight-and-narrow fashion, the Blue Guide folks dish up the goods in plain English. Will it be the divided city of Nicosia, with its abundant churches and mosques? Or the monastery of Kykko, established in 1092 and still accommodating genuine pilgrims? This handy volume will help you decide. And after you've feasted your eyes on ruins, tombs, jewels and baptismal fonts, you'll also get plenty of guidance on where to dine and sleep.
