Cyprus offers the visitor art, history and culture, as well as beach resorts and unspoilt country. Recounting the stories and legends behind the ancient palaces, churches, monasteries, mosques and mosaics, the author attempts to bring to life the history of Cyprus. All major archaeological sites are explored and their impact on the development of this island is assessed. Descriptions of collections in the major and minor museums are described in relation to their influence on the development of the island. There is also practical information on how to get around the island, where to stay, where to eat and what to eat and drink.

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.
