Synopsis
The Berlitz Cyprus Pocket Guide focuses on Nicosia, Northern Cyprus, Larnaka and the east, Lemesos, the Troodos Mountains and Pafos. It covers all the main sights, area by area, in an easily navigable format. Descriptions of tourist attractions include historic sights such as the Asinou Church, Agios Ilarion Castle, Ancient Pafos and Kykkos Monastery, archaeological wonders such as Kourion and Salamis, the party resort of Agia Napa, and the island's best museums and beaches. The guide also contains background historical information, advice on shopping and entertainment and the low-down on Greek cuisine. There is an A-Z of practical information, listings of recommended hotels and restaurants and useful expressions in Greek. Special topics covered range from the Troodos Mountains' remarkable painted churches to festivals and holy days. Maps show Cyprus and Nicosia, and there are dozens of colour photographs throughout.
