Item description from seller

paperback. Previous owners name written neatly to inside cover. This is the first edition of Blue Guide Cyprus, an island whose position as a stepping-stone between Occidental and Oriental civilisations has ensured it both an eventful history and a wide variety of archaeological and archtectural remains. The colourful mosaics at Paphos; the tiny Byzantine churches hidden in the folds of the Troodos mountains; the imposing keep of the Knights Hospitallers at Kolossi; they are all described here. Introduction to the archaeology and early history of Cyprus by Nicholas Coldstream, and to its later history by Douglas Dakin, provide the necessary framework to an understanding of the island's past and present; while also specially commissioned is a description of its food and wine, by Sir David Hunt. The guide, too, has a full complement of maps and plans making it an essential companion for the traveller wishing to explore this fascinating island. This edition, while concentrating on the sourther part of the Republic of Cyprus, using the well-tried route system. also covers the northern part of the island, at present under Turkish occupation - including Kyrenia, Bellapais, Salamis and Famagusta - but in lesser detail, a compromise enforced by present restrictions. 196+ pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
